I send this testimony with a heart full of gratitude for the many blessings I have received through Christian Science.
For four years, 1894-1898, I suffered from gallstones. My many kind friends continuously recommended Christian Science to me, but I was so prejudiced against Mrs. Eddy that, as they persisted, I swore whenever her name was mentioned.
After following the advice of the orthodox medical doctors for some time, without success, I went to a noted specialist, who promised to have me in good shape in two months. Instead of that I was with him for over six months, and was then far more enervated than when I first saw him. A friend handed me a long list of the practitioners in Chicago, where I was residing at the time. I stuck the list in my vest pocket, intending to throw it away when my friend returned home to St. Louis.
