Testimonies of Healing
It is now many years since I heard of Christian Science, and the first reading of our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, brought me freedom from a form of indigestion from which I had suffered for a long time.

Filled with deep gratitude, I wish to testify to a healing which came to me through the study and understanding of Christian Science. I had suffered for eight years from a pulmonary disease, which manifested itself during the latter part of this time in the form of tuberculosis.
