Testimonies of Healing
About three years ago my daughter, sixteen years of age, was taken suddenly ill, and as I had always been able to overcome any previous indispositions, I treated her and expected she would be better. Instead, she grew rapidly worse, so I called in a practitioner.
Sincere gratitude impels me to tell others of the good I have received through Christian Science. In 1905 I first heard of this religion which has become so dear to me, and in my case, as it is with some others, fear and doubt were not overcome very easily.
Some months ago, without my knowledge at the time I was exposed to smallpox, and a few days thereafter my professional duties called me to San Francisco. While there my physical condition was far from harmonious, a high fever, etc.
It is with heartfelt gratitude that I give my testimony through the pages which convey such sweet messages of hope to suffering humanity. My first debt to Christian Science was for my own healing, which was a wonderful case of mental surgery.
It has been a cherished wish that an expression of my gratitude for Christian Science might reach many more than those who have been within sound of my voice, although I am deeply sensible that neither tongue nor pen, can adequately express my thankfulness for the benefits received from Science.

[Translated from the German. ] In 1907 I contracted a severe cough and also had a serious attack of kidney disease, from which I had been a sufferer for twenty years.
Early last May I received a letter from Bradford, N. H.
I HAVE had many reasons for rejoicing and deep-felt I thankfulness, since I have learned to know the truth that makes free—the blessed truth, revealed by Christ Jesus and explained to us through Christian Science. Divine Love has so wonderfully met my deepest need, that I feel impelled to speak about it.
