The Mind-Healer Failed

Julius Stein

About three years ago I first heard of Christian Science. Having at that time an attack of chills and fever, I asked a healer who called himself a Christian Scientist for treatment. He gave me a week's treatment. I followed his directions not to use any medicine, but grew daily worse, until at the end of the week, unable to endure the pain any longer, I fell back on the old remedies which gave me temporary relief. I also tried to overcome the habit of smoking, but the same healer told me that there was no harm in it. I afterwards learned, that he was not a Christian Scientist, but a mind healer. Almost a year after this experience, I was taken sick again with the same malady; this time I asked treatment from a loyal student of the Rev. Mary B. Eddy, and in two treatments was entirely healed. I then bought a copy of Science and Health and by simply reading it lost all desire for both smoking and drinking.

In every number of the Journal and the Sentinel I find some testimony that is just what I need to help me along in my work, and I am very thankful to the one who through demonstration has shown us the way to health and harmony.—Julius Stein, Peoria, Ill.
