Testimonies of Healing
In thankfulness to God, and with gratitude to Mrs. Eddy, I send my testimony of healing, hoping it may encourage and help others.
I wish to give grateful testimony to the correctness of the foregoing statement of my mother regarding her illness in Germany in the winter of 1911. When I reached her on the evening of Sunday, Feb.

When this message of truth was first brought to me, it found me in quite a hopeless condition, having suffered from childhood with what materia medica diagnosed as lung trouble.
We were spending the summer of 1910 at Asbury Park, N. J.
I deem it my duty to testify to having been lifted out of severe illness in a wonderful way through the ministrations of Christian Science. I had suffered for some time with a kidney trouble, which resulted in dropsy in its incipient stages and much disturbance of the heart action.
