Testimonies of Healing
I desire to give grateful acknowledgment of the power of Truth as manifested in a recent healing in my family. About a year ago a very peculiar nervous affection seemed to take possession of our small daughter.
I wish to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me and for my family. I was under medical treatment for nine years for severe female trouble.
It is from a heart filled with gratitude that I send this testimony. From childhood I was extremely delicate, and as I grew into womanhood I suffered from many ailments.
I wish to express my thankfulness for the good Christian Science has done for me. I have known of this teaching for about twenty years, through the healing of my mother of a serious spinal injury caused by a fall.
In the three years we have been studying Christian Science we have had many demonstrations which to me seemed wonderful. Among the ailments which have been healed, were varicose veins, and a pain between the shoulders resulting from an injury received several years before.
In March, 1912, while hurrying to catch a street-car, I fell over an irregularity in the pavement and seriously injured my ankle. With assistance I was able to reach and board the car, and to continue the trip to my place of business, which was possibly three miles away.
From early childhood I had suffered with stomach trouble. As I grew older this, and other ills which had appeared, increased in severity, so that I was a most irritable and unhappy girl up to the age of seventeen.
I am glad to testify to the wonderful healing of my wife through Christian Science treatment. I may add that she scarcely realized how serious her condition was when the practitioner began treatment.
Two or three years ago our daughter, then a year and eight months old, was ruptured. For five months she wore a band as a physician directed, but the injury did not heal.
I now enjoy splendid health, and have no fear of a return of the conditions which existed when I appealed to a Christian Science practitioner for help in August, 1911. I had then been under constant medical attendance since the previous March, suffering from what is called nervous collapse, but I had not received the slightest benefit.
