The past thirty years have brought me unnumbered proofs that, when Christian Science is correctly applied, healing is inevitable.
My brother, a busy medical physician of the allopathic school, was the first to tell me of a healing. A friend of his had been healed of a discordant physical condition through Science treatment alone. I asked incredulously, "Do you really think it healed her?" He answered, "Undoubtedly."
A few years later my three small children and I were in quarantine with scarlet fever under the care of two trained nurses as well as the doctor. Thoroughly discouraged, I reached out for Christian Science. None of my friends were Scientists. I knew of no Science church, and had never heard of a Reading Room, so I asked the medical nurse if she knew where some book about Christian Science could be obtained. I remembered that years before a neighbor had lent me such a book for two weeks, and on my returning it I had remarked that it would take me longer than two weeks to get all there was in that book. Her reply to me had been, "I have been reading it for ten years and have not yet got all there is in it."
