It gives me much joy to add my expression of gratitude to the many testimonies that for twenty years have brought me inspiration, courage, and confidence, in reminding me again and again of the glorious fact that Christian Science heals both physical and mental difficulties, bringing a full salvation.
My son, until he was seven years old, had been much of the time under medical treatment. Three operations had been performed during this period in an endeavor to bring health and strength, when only frailty seemed to be manifest. A summer boarder in our village, having heard about our need, told me about the healing made possible through Christian Science. We listened gladly, and in a short time treatment by a faithful practitioner resulted in a complete healing from gastritis and a distressing bronchial cough of nearly seven years' duration.
I then took up the earnest study of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. I knew Christian Science was the truth, and gladly accepted it. I too felt the healing touch, for soon I was freed from chronic indigestion of thirteen years' duration, for which several physicians had tried to bring me relief. The irritability expressed during that long period must have been very hard for my family to endure. With gratitude for the light that reveals man as the reflection of perfection, a complete healing changed the dark outlook to one of health and joy.
