It is now more than twenty-seven years since I came into Christian Science for healing and was restored to health. From that time on, Science has been my only physician.
I had been in two hospitals for a kidney ailment and had been attended by several highly qualified doctors in a very-large city, but to no avail. I was sent home, and my wife was told that I had between two and three months to live. I had been brought up in a religious family and could not understand why I should be afflicted. I asked our pastor for an explanation, but he had no answer that satisfied me.
I had an aunt who was a Christian Science practitioner and who lived in a city about forty miles from our home. For some reason, our family had been antagonistic toward Christian Science, so I had not thought of asking my aunt for help. However, a friend of mine recommended that I try Science. My wife also urged me to try it, saying that I had nothing to lose and could possibly find help.
