Many times I have been helped by reading the testimonies of healing published in the Journal and in the Christian Science Sentinel. Thus the desire has come to me to express my gratitude through this means for the many healings my family and I have received through the study and application of Christian Science.
This Science first came to my attention after my husband had been told by a prominent physician in one of the largest hospitals in the East not to take me there any more for treatment, as medical science had exhausted all means to help me and it was but a matter of time until I would pass on. For about twelve years I had been treated at this hospital for what was called' a complication of diseases.
One Sunday morning our fourteen-year-old daughter went with a neighbor to a Christian Science Sunday School. When they returned, my daughter joyfully handed me the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, saying, "Mumsie, this book will heal you if you will read it." I took the textbook and laid it on a table thinking, How can a book heal me when all those doctors couldn't?
