For fifteen years I was a constant sufferer, until I was almost a mental, physical, and financial wreck. I had employed as many as fourteen different physicians, but all in vain, and finally my health failed so that I had to sacrifice a profitable business. I underwent a surgical operation, and for five months I was not able to pursue the practice of my profession, dentistry, although I did finally get somewhat better. After traveling for some time in the mountains, I returned to my practice, when again the old trouble,—piles, with neuralgia of the stomach, constipation, dyspepsia, and nervousness,—caused me to give up work, and with my family I went to the mountains for several months.

Three physicians told me I could not live long if I did not soon get relief, and advised a sea voyage as being my only hope, since medicine could do nothing for the neuralgia of the stomach; so I spent a winter in Central America, and while on the water I was more comfortable. On my return, I was advised by my numerous physicians to reopen an office, and did so, but after less, than two weeks of work I collapsed. I was nearly helpless for some time, but the determination to care for my family impelled me to struggle on, although there was no time that I was free from pain, and I could not work more than one hour a day.

About this time, June, 1902, I removed with my family to Oakland, Cal., and I here met with Christian Science. We were told that it would heal all manner of disease. I said I did not believe it could do anything for me, but if it could, I wanted it. My wife was also a sufferer, and we called a practitioner, who was very sympathetic and seemed to understand just what we were passing through. We each took treatment. I was suffering extremely at this time with piles, but all pain ceased within an hour, and in three days' time the constipation was healed and all trace of the piles had disappeared. The night after our first treatment we retired early, and for the first time in years I slept all night, and awoke the next morning at eight o'clock, as it were in a new world. Neither of us had any pain, and for a time I was afraid to move for fear the pain would return; but no, it was gone, and I was free.
