My occupation for many years was that of chauffeur, and I have driven a taxi-car. About two years ago I had a nervous breakdown, and the doctor forbade me to work. He did not give me any hope of regaining my health for at least a year. I suffered from insomnia, lost my appetite, and could not eat certain kinds of food. My affairs also became complicated. In April, 1923, I went to see some one on business. He gave me Christian Science literature and introduced me to a practitioner, who treated me. I slept for seven hours the night after the first treatment; and after three weeks of treatment I was quite well, able to take any kind of food and to resume my work. The physician who wrote out the certificate of health, which was required in order to resume my work, was the one who had prophesied a whole year of sickness for me. He was very much surprised at my recovery, and made the observation: "A stronger power has been at work."
After some weeks my financial difficulties were also overcome. I got a post without applying for it. After two months more, my chief offered me a partnership in his business, which I also gratefully accepted.
I have never had any return of the illness. On the contrary, I have gained in health and the ability to work. I am therefore intensely grateful to Christian Science for the health, joy, understanding, peace, and harmony, which it has given me.— Djursholm, Sweden.
