There came a time in my life when through domestic inharmony, financial trouble, and overstrain from work my health was impaired to the extent that what was termed the "screeching stage" of nervous prostration followed. At this time an old edition of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy was in my home, having been lent to my husband by one of his friends. I was also giving piano lessons to a Christian Science practitioner.
It did not occur to me to read the book or to have treatment, not being interested and not realizing my condition. During this time my brother-in-law was having Christian Science treatment for a skin disease which affected his hands. He was healed, and my sister was so grateful that she said if I would have treatment from the same practitioner she would pay for it.
I thought it over and decided that I would try Christian Science, but would have treatment from the lady whom I was teaching and would pay for it with the lessons.
