Sciatic Rheumatism and Other Ills

Arthur A. Webber

In September, 1893, I began to suffer from sciatic rheumatism. Shortly after the first attack I was carried home one night from my engine-room after having a hypodermic injection of morphine administered. I remained in bed for two or three weeks and then returned to work, using a cane, as I was very lame. I remained in this condition until December of the same year, when I suffered an aggravated attack of spinal trouble and severe nervousness. My stomach and bowels became so diseased that I could not eat anything without the greatest suffering, and sleep was almost unknown to me. Medicine had no effect on me except to make me worse. I could only lie and think over the past, and became almost a fit subject for the asylum. The last disease confined me to my home for three years.

During this time I was constantly under the care of a physician. I had exhausted the skill of five of the best of our city, and my case was pronounced incurable.

Many kind friends visited me but none of them brought me any light. One or two suggested Christian Science, not being interested themselves at that time. But being surrounded by seeming opposition the subject was dropped for a short time. Again hearing of the many cures wrought by Christian Science in our city and vicinity, and especially that of our county clerk, who was almost raised from the dead, I became more and more eager to meet the Scientist who was having such success.
