A Speedy Recovery
I received a letter from a lady whom I had never seen (I mention this because many people think it is necessary for the healer to go to the patient) asking me to treat her. She had met with a severe accident, had slipped on a polished floor, falling heavily, wrenching her ankle, and receiving a serious shock. The servants were alarmed, and sent for a doctor, who came, and pronounced that the tendons of the ankle were torn and some broken. The foot meanwhile had swollen terribly, and become quite black. The doctor said that it would be a case of resting for weeks, and then she would most likely have to use crutches.
The lady knew enough of the Truth not to trust in materia medica, and refused to have any bandages or liniment applied. I received a very joyous letter from her five days afterwards, saying that she had suffered no pain in the ankle since treatment had begun, that she had just come in from a five mile walk, and that all traces of the injury had disappeared. The lady is studying Science and Health, and is deeply interested in Christian Science.
