When I was a very small child, my mother was healed of a so-called incurable disease which had caused her a great deal of suffering. Just previous to her healing, I had had typhoid fever, which left me in a very delicate condition. As I grew older the condition became worse, so that by the time I was twelve years of age I had developed what physicians called consumption of the blood. During this time I had Christian Science treatment, but not until I was nearly grown was the healing complete. While on a visit to some relatives in one of our midwestern cities, I grew worse, and my uncle, becoming alarmed, telegraphed for a friend who was a Christian Science practitioner. She came to his home, and while she was there I asked her for help, which she lovingly gave. I am sure the first treatment given resulted in my healing, although I had treatment for three weeks. I was completely healed. My cheeks and lips became a healthy color, and I could walk and run without the lease feeling of fatigue. Previous to this I would have to stop and rest when out walking, or when going up the stairs I would have to sit down several times before reaching the top—and then I seemed to be exhausted. It would indeed be difficult to express in words the feeling of absolute freedom I experienced after that first treatment.
My gratitude to our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for having given us this truth which frees from all the false beliefs that mortal mind would impose upon the world was very great, and has increased daily.
Many material so-called laws were laid down for me by the physicians who had known me from babyhood, but they have all yielded to the law of God. One of these laws was that I could never bear children; but I am the mother of three healthy girls, and I did not suffer from any after effect at the time of their births; in fact, I was at all times perfectly normal, and up and around in less than a week.
