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 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.

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.

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.

One morning in August, 1912, I awakened with paralysis, my right side seeming to be lifeless. I had my daughter telephone to a practitioner for Christian Science treatment, and to my surprise I was enabled to go to her office after the fourth treatment, and at the end of five more treatments I was entirely well.
