Morphine Habit Destroyed

Fred H. Wilber

I have been so wonderfully saved through Christian Science, that I want the world to know what Christian Science will do for poor suffering humanity. Ever since I was eighteen years of age (and I am now forty) I was a slave to the liquor habit, and by reason of that habit, was led to taking morphine. Any one who knows anything of that habit, knows how it holds and degrades a man, and how it is almost impossible to free oneself from it. I tried in many ways to overcome it. I tried the gold cure for the morphine and liquor habits, but without avail. I believe I was the most wretched and unhappy mortal in existence. I had lost all hope for this world or the next. I was taking thirty grains of morphine in a day, and of course was a physical wreck.

I now look back at my past life with grief and horror. Christian Science has saved me from all the shame and suffering through which I have passed. I feel that I am free, and am very thankful to the kind friends who induced me to seek help in this glorious way. I now feel that life is worth living and shall pass the remainder of my days in trying to bring other earth-bound hearts to the knowledge of this blessed Truth, which delivers and saves.
