That the practice of Christian Science is not dangerous to human life and that it can be relied upon in cases of acute inflammatory diseases I learned by experience.

In August, 1896, I suffered with what the doctors pronounced a dangerous attack of appendicitis. The first doctor told me that I must be careful and eat nothing which contained seeds, but a second doctor assured me that I might with safety eat as many seeds as I liked as they were never the cause of appendicitis. He added that, in his opinion, every child as soon as he was old enough should be operated upon to prevent the development of this disease at some future time. A third doctor declared there was no such disease.

I recovered from this attack, but after hearing constantly for several months, from many people, that I might expect at any time a return of the disease which would probably prove fatal, I decided to consult the doctors again.
