In 1914 I was healed through Christian Science treatment of quinsy, from which I had suffered every winter for as long as I could remember. I have never had a return of the ailment. Some years later I was healed of painful inflammation of the hands, and this healing too has been permanent.
In 1945 my finger became wedged in a folding chair as I sat down, and it was almost severed at the base of the nail. My daughter and I held to what Mrs. Eddy tells us about the unreality of accidents on page 424 of Science and Health, and soon the pain ceased.
I was able to continue daily serving as attendant in a Christian Science Reading Room. Within several weeks the finger had healed without a scar, and a new nail had grown. The following sentence from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health (p. 489), was helpful to me in this healing: "When the unthinking lobster loses its claw, the claw grows again."
