Testimonies of Healing
It is with great pleasure that I give as a testimony my experience in Christian Science. For more than eight years I suffered constantly from stomach trouble.
Christian Science was presented to me three years ago, at a time when I was very much discouraged and had almost lost hope of ever seeing my little six-year-old daughter well again. She had been a sufferer for several years from what had been termed tubercular glands of the neck.

This made a deep impression on me, though I had been taught by so-called orthodox parents to have nothing to do with anything that came from Mrs.
