Testimony of Dr. George H. Jackson

Dayton (Ohio) Weekly Herald

At a recent Wednesday evening meeting of this church, Dr. George H. Jackson, of Marion, Ind., worshiped with us. He stated to the congregation why he was a Christian Scientist. "I suffered for more than thirty years with those dreadful diseases known to the medical fraternity as chronic diarrhœa and hemorrhoids or piles. Having studied and practised medicine, every remedy known to me was given a trial, but without any lasting benefit. Other diseases made their appearance, among them kidney, stomach, and liver trouble, closely followed by heart disease. The most of these diseases lasted fifteen to twenty years. Getting no benefit from drugs I tried what was known as the magnetic mud baths, but this did not prove satisfactory. I then resorted to electricity with the same result. Later I tried dynamization, but this was a failure. Discouraged and disgusted with material means. I no longer sought the physicians, but my God. At this period I heard of Christian Science, and decided to investigate it. I secured a copy of the text-book, 'Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,' by Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy, and began to read. The first sentence in the preface, 'Leaning on the sustaining Infinite, to-day is big with blessings,' gave me encouragement, and by reading and studying this book I was healed of all the diseases named. In addition to the physical healing it has made me a better man morally and spiritually. If there are those who have any ailment, bodily or mental, 'Go thou and do likewise.' "
