Testimonies of Healing

I wish to relate briefly what God, through Christian Science, has done for me. Up to two years ago, when I appealed to Christian Science, I had been troubled for about eight years with sleeplessness, stomach and liver troubles, also nervousness.

Early in January, 1912, while we were finishing our new home, I was taken with severe cramps in my stomach, so called painters' colic, and intense inward fever accompanied by chills. After rising one morning, feeling ill, I made an attempt at getting breakfast.

I would like to tell something of what Christian Science has accomplished in our family. After suffering for three years, and during that time trying a number of physicians, including specialists, my husband as a last resort turned to Christian Science and was healed of a very distressing nervous disease, which seemed to affect the stomach and heart, in fact the entire body.

About six years ago, while I was visiting at my uncle's home in Marshall, Mo. , he fell and hurt his hip so badly that he was under the care of different physicians almost all of the time for nearly six months.

ABOUT six years ago I fell and so injured my right hip that I could not get up. Kind friends lifted me and placed me in a conveyance, from which I was carried into my home.

It is three years since we became acquainted with Christian Science,and during that time we have received many blessings, for which we are truly grateful. More especially would I like to tell of one instance of healing.

I, for one, have had no trouble to reconcile my Hebrew belief with Christian Science, once having divested myself of the prejudice the Jew has had against Christianity, a prejudice which, I am sorry to say, has been mainly fed by the treatment that many professed Christians accord to Jews. Can the Jew be blamed for not having readily accepted the teachings of Christ Jesus when the majority of Christian people deny that they can be followed today, and therefore look askance at Christian Science? I will not, however, quarrel with my Christian brethren, and neither will I allow my Hebrew brethren to bias me with respect to my religion;no one shall come between me and God.

This testimony is given in gratitude for the many benefits received through Christian Science. About four years ago, having applied for an insurance policy, I was examined by two doctors, whose report was of such a character that my application was refused.

In August, 1911, I was taken severely ill, and on his second visit the physician pronounced it typhoid fever. I was not a Scientist, but having seen some of the benefits derived from their treatment of disease, I decided that I would rather trust my case with Christian Science than with materia medica.

In the spring of 1911 I became afflicted with a diseased condition of the gums, which the physicians diagnosed as very obstinate, and said that in order to check the decomposition I should have several teeth extracted. At the same time I suffered with a severe affection of the throat and high fever.
