When I was a child it seemed as if some one in our family was always sick. My mother had been a semi-invalid for several years, and my sister, brother, and I were far from healthy children. Then my mother became very ill with a complication of internal diseases, one of which was an abscess. The doctor said that an operation was the only hope, but that she was in such a bad condition he did not know whether she could stand it. We had heard of Christian Science through a friend, and mother decided to try it. She was very quickly and perfectly healed, much to the doctor's astonishment; and the healing has remained permanent.
A short time afterward my sister contracted a very severe case of diphtheria. She too was very quickly healed after a Christian Science practitioner was called on for help, although at twelve o'clock that night the doctor had said she could not possibly live longer than morning.
My brother had had to be confined to his room for months every winter with chronic bronchitis. He was completely healed of this trouble through Christian Science.
