It is with humble gratitude for guidance along a rugged path, through earnest and faithful seeking for Truth during a long and tiresome waiting period, and for freedom from a condition of great physical inharmony, that I send this testimony. When I was quite young there was manifested a most irritating condition which the consulting physician named eczema, and for which he prescribed various remedies from time to time, none of which relieved the situation. So-called specialists in several large cities were consulted, but with no benefit. Instead, the affected part gradually increased in size and discomfort.
After about twelve years of this bondage, Christian Science was heard of and turned to for help. Notwithstanding the faithful and conscientious application of the law of Truth and harmony for seven years, the only apparent change was the fact that the affected part did not seem to increase in size and there was, possibly, a lessening of the irritation. Owing to the fact that during this long period of waiting, I had no inclination or tendency to waver or to doubt the omnipotence of God, but clung "steadfastly to God and His idea," as Mrs. Eddy tells us to do on page 495 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," the knowledge of the real man increased, and, after many and varied experiences all along the way, this specific manifestation of inharmony finally disappeared entirely.
During the eight years since I gained this freedom from what was predicted would be a life affliction, there has been no relapse.— Cincinnati, Ohio.
