Testimonies of Healing
I am very grateful for what Christian Science has done and is doing for me each day. Since beginning to study it several years ago, I have been relieved of a chronic ailment from which I had suffered for ten or twelve years.
When Christian Science was presented to me I had been suffering for fifteen years from what the doctors called chronic lumbago. At one time I was confined to the bed for several weeks and could not be turned over or change my position; at other times I would be just able to get around the house with help.
I AM anxious to acknowledge my healing through Christian Science of what at the time was called lung trouble of a quickly developing nature; and the illness certainly was as quickly developed as it was complicated and terrible.

I can no longer delay acknowledging the great help Christian Science proved to be at the birth of our little boy. On two previous occasions, before I had heard of Christian Science, I depended entirely on medical aid, and an anesthetic had to be administered.
With a desire to help others, I wish to tell how beautifully the power of divine Truth was demonstrated through Christian Science at the birth of my baby. I had been studying Science and Health only a short time, but through a knowledge of the truth and the loving help of friends I was free from the ills which are usually manifested prior to a birth, and the birth itself was almost painless.
