For fourteen years I was bothered by a nerve trouble, so that only occasionally was I able to carry on my business. Physicians' treatment, medicine, cures, and rest sojourns gave rise to considerable expense. I was overwhelmed with despair when nothing that I tried succeeded, and to expect improvement seemed altogether hopeless. Added to all this, a skin eruption manifested itself in September, 1933. The doctor considered it harmless and treated it with a salve; but gradually the trouble spread over my entire body. In December I had to undergo an arsenic cure which, being too strong, affected my heart and lungs; and it seemed as if my whole body were burning up. I spent many nights, covered only with a thin wrap, unable to sleep. A consulting physician stated that the illness would be a very lingering one.
In my great need I found the way to Christian Science. Even after the first telephone conversation with a practitioner, I was able to take up my work, relieved and happy. After a short period of further treatment my complete healing followed. And so after many years of mental and physical dejection, my life has blossomed into new joyousness.
I am attending our Christian Science services, including the Wednesday evening meetings, with great joy, love, and gratitude, and I am studying our rich literature. For the blessings received I am deeply grateful to our dear Father-Mother God, and also to Mrs. Eddy for her great work and self-sacrifice.— Bremen, Germany.
