It is with gratitude that I testify to the healing power of Truth. For nine years Christian Science has been my only physician; it has met and is meeting my every need. I am grateful for the wonderful protection I have received when traveling by automobile. Many times by applying this wonderful truth, others as well as I myself have been saved from serious injuries.
After being employed two days, on the morning of the third day I fell down a flight of stairs, landing on a stone floor, and was picked up unconscious. I seemed to be in a semiconscious state for nearly two hours, when I heard a voice saying. "Call a nurse; we shall have to take her to the hospital." This was on the ground floor where I was employed. I could not speak and say I wanted a practitioner, but I soon awakened from this condition, and when the nurse came in I told her I wanted a Christian Science practitioner. Very lovingly she said. "All right, I know they do wonderful work." I was taken in a taxi to the house of a friend who is a Christian Scientist. The superintendent where I was employed told her that several stitches would be required to close the wound; but she washed it and bandaged my head and did not look at the wound for three or four days. When we did, it was completely healed except for a scar, which disappeared in a week. A tooth was broken in the fall, and when the dentist extracted it he found it badly infected. A week later I had a great deal of pain in my jaw. I went to another dentist, who could do nothing for me. I then called a practitioner, and in half an hour a place in the gum opened, letting out pus. It has not troubled me since. I am grateful for the kindness shown me by strangers during this time.
I have been healed of sore throat, colds, and hoarseness, the last giving me a lot of trouble. A specialist told me I must be very careful or I should lose my speech. I am grateful for all he did for me, but the cause of the trouble was never destroyed until I took up the study of Christian Science. Chronic and acute indigestion was also overcome through this study.
