Healed by Reading Science and Health

I was in poor health for eight years, and grew worse all the time, until at last I went to a hospital in Montreal and submitted to an operation. This left me in a worse condition in some ways than I was before. That was in November, 1894. We lived in Canada at that time, but the next summer we came to Vermont to take care of an old gentleman whose daughter is a Christian Scientist and is away from home all the year, except during the month of August.

I did not know anything about Christian Science. I remember telling my husband that I supposed Miss C. would preach her Spiritualism all the time.

By this time I had ceased to use medicine of any kind, having lost all faith in it, and was convinced that nothing but God could heal me. I could not believe that God was the author of sickness, but I thought I ought to be reconciled to my lot as long as I did not have faith enough to be healed. I prayed all the time for health, and believed I could find it if I only knew how. I felt discouraged and worried all the time.
