In May, 1912, when our family physician, the state board of health, and two specialists said I had tubercular disease, I felt that the thing I greatly feared had come upon me. My grandmother, my father, and several other relatives had passed on with this disease, and the fear of heredity was held over me from earliest childhood, as I was always considered very frail and delicate.
During the darkest hours of my life Christian Science was brought to my attention, but I was greatly prejudiced against what I thought it was. At last in desperation I began to study it, and after taking treatment for a short while I was healed and resumed my work. To God belongs all honor, glory, and power. During the past four years we have had in our family many proofs of God's power to heal, but the greatest blessing that has ever come into my life is "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy.
Since I was treated by a Christian Science practitioner in November, 1912, I have had better health than ever before. At present I have no symptoms of tuberculosis or of any other disease. I believe that my little son also owes his life to Christian Science treatment. He fell from a tree and was internally injured, vomited blood for two days, but entirely recovered with Christian Science help. I am learning to rejoice more and more each day that all the sorrows of the world can be overcome by the right understanding of God.— Myrtle, Miss.
