Testimonies of Healing

During the seven years which have elapsed since Christian Science was first presented to me, I have had many proofs of its efficacy in the overcoming of inharmonious conditions. Through the study of Mrs.

Five years ago I took up the study of Christian Science, and it has met every need since then. I had medical treatment the greater part of my life for what was called kidney disease, accompanied by a distressing bladder trouble, and faithfully followed the doctor's advice, but with no benefit.

Several years ago, when I had a serious fall which resulted in a long cut over the forehead and another on the side of one eye, besides bruising my neck and shoulders, the truth that, "one with God is a majority," was clearly proven to me. I was rendered unconscious for a short time by the fall, but when I came to myself I began to realize the truth to the best of my understanding, till after the wounds were dressed.

Because of the many blessings received through Christian Science, I would like to tell of my healing sixteen years ago. I returned home from a large hospital in New York City, where I had been under the care of the most skilled surgeons, with the hope that I should have health; but my condition grew worse rapidly and a more serious operation was contemplated.

After trying almost every health resort in the United States, and being told by several eminent physicians that they could do no more for me except to give me opiates for temporary relief, I turned to Christian Science and was healed. Chronic bronchitis of seven years' standing was overcome, also tubercular trouble, an abscess of a malignant nature, asthma, and stomach disorder in its worst form.

The wonderful blessings that have come to me through Christian Science since my first acquaintance with it about nine years ago, make each day one of thanksgiving. When a very small child I suffered from throat trouble, and as I grew older this developed into tubercular disease, bronchial trouble, catarrh, stomach disorder, and a complication of diseases, thus intensifying the sense of fear and worry.

I wish to tell of some of the blessings which Christian Science has brought to us. One day in August, 1914, my sister while working in the garden was affected by the heat of the sun.

I had tried all the medical profession had to offer, even to a severe diet which one of our best physicians thought would cure me; but finding material means unable to bring relief, I turned to Christian Science as a last resort, and was healed in a few treatments of severe headaches and of chronic bowel disorder which had troubled me since I was a youngster. I was also healed of chilblains and have laid aside glasses.

If ever a mortal was in bondage, it was I, but Christian Science freed me after all material methods had failed. From childhood I had struggled for health.

In the first days of January, 1914, I became very hoarse as the result of a cold, and was unable to talk above a whisper. Despite the many material means which I applied, including home remedies and medicines prescribed by various physicians, I failed to experience relief.
