In gratitude to God for the healing efficacy of Christian Science I submit this testimony. My mother was a sincere student of Christian Science, and I received the benefit of her love, joy, and understanding of God's ever-presence. Through her prayers or those of a practitioner, during my early years I had much help in the overcoming of sickness and in solving other problems. However, I had little understanding of my own regarding how problems were solved through Christian Science.
One morning, a few years after I was married, I stepped outside of my home to do an errand, and I slipped and fell on the ice. For a moment I lost consciousness. When I had regained it, I got up and went about my daily work.
Later, since a painful condition persisted at the back of my head and my back, I had treatment from a medical doctor, then from an osteopath, and finally from a chiropractor. The latter told me that I would probably need treatments all my life, because several vertebrae were out of place and were pressing on the nerves. Only temporary relief was received from, any of these various kinds of treatment.
