Wonderfully Restored to Health and Hope

Alice Smith

I feel it my duty to acknowledge through the Sentinel the great benefit I have received through Christian Science, and to express, though feebly, my gratitude to Mrs. Eddy, and my appreciation of her unselfish efforts to benefit the world and comfort humanity. Fearing lest my experience written in detail, would occupy too much space, I will briefly say that from a broken-down woman, mentally and physically, I have been wonderfully restored to health and hope, after all material means had failed me. In miserable bondage to sickness, sorrow, and grief, in my despair. I sought relief of the best physicians in this and other cities, many of them professors in the leading universities, but continued to grow worse. Finally I resolved upon travel and study, hoping, by diverting myself, to gain health.

I crossed the ocean and went from country to country. I traveled in Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Belgium, France, and England; but I did not find what I so much desired, and returned to America hopeless.

At last, I placed myself in a sanitarium near Boston, where at enormous expense I remained under strict regime for nearly a year. I graduated from this resort, only to become worse. After months of desperate struggle I was taken with typhoid fever, which raged fifty-and-six days.
