In 1910 I was suffering from a groin rupture caused by a strain the previous year. I applied for life insurance; and after a physical examination a policy was issued containing a clause to the effect that the policy would become void in the event of my death from hernia, provided I did not at all times wear a truss. I did not wear the support, but did decide to have Christian Science treatment. I returned to my work and was treated by a Christian Science practitioner for some weeks. One day I discovered that all swelling had disappeared; and since then I have had no return of the manifestation. In 1918 I discarded the former insurance policy, and took out one in another company. I mentioned to the examiner that I had been cured of a rupture; but no conditions were attached to the policy, other than the usual ones.
I am indeed grateful to Christian Science and to the practitioner through whose clear understanding of Truth I was freed from that difficulty. Both my wife and I have been helped in many instances by the Science that Mrs. Eddy discovered and gave to the world, and we wish to express our deep gratitude for it.— Hedley, British Columbia, Canada.
