Over thirty-five years ago I was healed in Christian Science after I had undergone two surgical operations, and was told that without a third one I could live only a few months. The doctor afterward exclaimed in utter astonishment, "I don't see how they did it, for yours was no imaginary disease."
In these past years my family has been healed of many things: of smallpox, without a scar left, blood poisoning, scarlet fever, measles, and whooping cough which came upon my boys at the same time; also a broken bone was entirely healed in two weeks. My small son had a badly lacerated hand, and I was threatened with prosecution if I did not use material means to help him. The hand was wonderfully healed and is not crippled.
Some time ago I was having trouble in my mouth, so I went to a dentist to have a slightly jagged tooth removed. Afterwards he told me that a condition was there which was beyond his control, and added that in a similar case, in spite of all that money, medicine, and surgery could do, the patient had passed on. Of course I asked for help in Christian Science, and was healed by absent treatment entirely. I met and talked with the practitioner in church a number of times, but as we lived many miles apart I never called at the office, nor did the practitioner ever visit me.
