Testimonies of Healing
As an item of experience in support of Science and Health, and its ever-glorious theories, the following testimony is respectfully submitted. A lady in one of the suburbs of Boston, through treatment by Christian Science, became deeply interested therein.
My very dear Teacher : At one time I had a great feeling of reticence in respect to reporting cases of healing; but as the Truth grows upon my apprehension, I feel it to be a duty to magnify God's holy name, and to declare His wonderful works,— lest, shamed by our silence, the stones cry out. About the time our last class closed, one of the students, passing a house on her way home, heard, on more than one occasion, cries of pain, which attracted the attention of others as well as herself.
Mrs. M.
I must tell you about my first case in obstetrics. A lady at Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory, sent me a despatch, asking me to treat her daughter.
My dear Teacher : I must tell you of some demonstrations I have had lately, which I know you will be glad to hear. A lady from Philadelphia, who has been blind and deaf for thirty years, can now thread a needle, and is improving in many ways.
My first case in the obstetric line came along last week. I was not able to carry the belief entirely painless, but nearly so.
Dear Journal : I wish to write a few lines for the benefit of the sick and suffering, and to let all know what Christian Science has done for me. I have been an invalid for eight years, and have suffered untold misery.
For the public good I give this instance of cure of the eye: The white had been pierced with a bean-blower, but was successfully treated in Christian Science, and no trace of injury left: and this was done, despite the protest of a physician, who declared the result would be disastrous if the eye was not submitted to surgical treatment.

My dear Teacher : Thinking it may be of interest to you to know something of my first work in Christian Science, I describe one or two demonstrations. A little child of one of our neighbors was taken strangely ill, a few mornings since.
Dear Mrs. Ingalls : I take pleasure in acknowledging myself cured of Bright's Disease.
