From the age of fourteen, sickness seemed to be my lot. I was suffering with anemia, as well as stomach and heart trouble, and continued ailing in this way until I became nineteen. Then suddenly hemorrhages set in. As lung trouble had been prevalent in our family, it seemed very likely, according to medical belief, that I should inherit it. During the following year I had five hemorrhages from the lungs, and in 1910 was taken to a sanitarium, where at first there was a seeming improvement. In September, 1911,I had an attack of pleurisy, to which, in May, 1912, were added pain in the abdomen and vomiting. The physicians whose advice was sought stated that there was a tubercular condition in the abdomen. After a two months' stay in a hospital an operation revealed the case to be one of abdominal tuberculosis, and showed the intestines to be in a diseased condition as well.
According to the physicians no improvement could be expected and I was given but a short time to live. Through Christian Science, however, I have been completely healed, and my healing has been confirmed by a physician whom I asked to make an examination, as I expected to enter upon domestic life.— Niedermarschacht, Kr.
