Testimonies of Healing

I have had many proofs of the healing power of divine Love, both in sorrow and in physical sufferings. I was supposed to be a rather delicate child.

I am a willing witness to the healing power of Christian Science, having had a serious struggle with disease, namely, appendicitis. I had great confidence in my physician, but all he could do for me was to give a hypodermic until I could make up my mind for an operation, which he insisted was very necessary.

Some years ago I took up the study of Christian Science when all material remedies had failed me. I had been given up by many doctors and specialists, who had told me they could do nothing more for me as I was in the last stages of tubercular disease and also had an incurable trouble which an operation might relieve if my condition would permit one.

I am greatly pleased to be able to testify to the good received through Christian Science. When my youngest child was born there was a small red spot on his face, and it spread all over the body.

Among other things Christian Science has cured me of tubercular disease after every known remedy had been applied and failed. After I had been ill with throat and lung trouble for several years, one of the best physicians in southern Minnesota told my sister I could not live six months and advised my seeing a well known specialist at once.

I was led to study Christian Science through the healing of my husband. Ever since I can remember I had suffered from severe headache; in fact I did not know what it was to be free from this condition except at night, until I was healed in Christian Science.

Last summer I was healed through Christian Science of what one physician termed a nervous breakdown and what another could not or did not name; but both recommended a change of climate, so I went to the home of relatives in Maine. Soon after reaching there, however, I felt just as bad as when I was in the West,—could not sleep, had pains in the head, and all the old troubles that had caused me to go East.

One Sunday morning I found upon awaking that I could not speak aloud. As I was first reader in a branch church and my duties began in a few hours, fear and anxiety came over me.

Three years ago I turned to Christian Science for help, and received it immediately. For seven years previous to that time I had suffered from a most distressing form of intestinal trouble.

In deep gratitude for all the blessings received through Christian Science I wish to tell of some of them. From childhood I suffered with headache and was never strong, although many kinds of medicine were taken.
