I should like to express my gratitude for the healing power of Truth in Christian Science. When I was about thirteen years old, a school doctor told me that I had an enlarged place in my neck. This began a series of treatments with various doctors for thyroid trouble, but the condition persisted and I was in the hands of the medical profession until after my marriage.
Shortly after the birth of our second child I suffered a nervous spell that kept me in bed for almost two months, and all I could swallow was soup. I went to a well-known medical research hospital. I started reading the Bible while I was in the hospital and praying for the truth. I had a feeling that the truth existed and that if I could only find it I would be all right.
After I was discharged from the hospital, my husband and I were at a friend's home one evening. My husband noticed Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy on our friend's bookshelf. She gave me the book.
