After two weeks in a hospital, the result of appendicitis, I suffered greatly from having had the afflicted parts frozen, — a new and supposedly scientific form of treatment. I had continual pain in my right side, and the doctor told me all the organs had grown to that side as the result of my treatment in the hospital. I was treated for this condition, but did not grow much better. Later, the digestive organs became involved, and the duct leading from the stomach to the bowels became so inflamed that no solid food could pass through it. This caused me intense agony whenever any food, solid or liquid, was taken into the stomach. My only relief came from opiates, and a friend, who was not a Christian Scientist, urged me to try Christian Science, and, thank God, I was healed in the first treatment, eating a meal of solid food the same evening. The doctor had said I must not go out during the cold weather, but, although it was February when I took the Christian Science treatment, I went out every day and in all kinds of weather. I took about seven treatments at that time, as I wished to learn more of this wonderful truth and get rid of my fear, which was great. I was also cured of life-long constipation, and have enjoyed almost perfect health for the year I have been in this Science.

I cannot express my thankfulness for all Christian Science has done for me. It has been a great help and comfort to me in many ways, and I am truly grateful to God, and to Mrs. Eddy for this wonderful truth. I study the Lesson-Sermon almost every day and find this a great help.
