Testimonies of Healing

About seven years ago I became ill, and as was usual with me I called in a doctor, who treated me for some time and then advised me to go to the seashore for a change of scene and climate. I went, but returned in a worse condition than before going.

Christian Science was first recommended to me in 1897. for my daughter, who was bed fast with lung trouble.

It was about seven years ago that I first heard of Christian Science, and it appealed to me, as I had often wondered why there was no church that recognized all of the teachings of Christ Jesus.

I desire to relate what Christian Science has done for me. I became interested some four months ago, when I heard of its many healings.

Out on the Oklahoma prairie is where Christian Science found us, about ten years ago. I had been a sufferer most of my life, and through many years had received the careful attention of kind physicians.

With loving gratitude do I testify to what Christian Science has done for me. It has healed me of severe nervous trouble and blood-poisoning.
