Is Christian Science Practical?

Eminently so. Since the writer has been interested in Christian Science he has not been sick a day; he has not tasted medicine of any description; he has entirely abandoned the liquor habit; he has entirely abandoned the smoking habit of fifteen years' standing; he has entirely abandoned the swearing habit; he has gained in fifteen months thirty-three pounds in weight, having all his previous life been unable to attain to the normal weight of a man of average height; he has gained peace of mind and courage to work out the problems of life, which at one time he felt were too difficult to warrant further effort.

The writer knows other trustworthy people in Denver who have been healed of such diseases as consumption, various bad forms of stomach trouble, sciatic rheumatism, rupture, contagious blood poisoning, defective vision, and other ailments equally serious. He personally knows hundreds of people who were constantly dosing themselves with drugs before coming into Christian Science who will solemnly declare that they have not swallowed a grain of medicine since adopting this religion, varying in their several cases from one to fifteen years; and furthermore, a large percentage of them have not been confined to bed with sickness since they became Christian Scientists.
