Testimony of Healing March 22, 1900 Issue

Healed by Reading Science and Health

J. F. Stockdorf with contributions from Anon

Although Christian Science had been known in our home for five years, I did not feel inclined to study into it until I thought i was my duty to do so, on account of the statement frequently made to my daughter by a member of the Baptist Church, that the devil was in Mrs. Eddy's book, and that the devil was doing the healing. I told my daughter that I should study the text-book, and if I found anything wrong in it she would have to give it up.

It was a little over one year ago that I began the diligent study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," but instead of finding something of the devil in it, I found Jesus and religion again,—that which I had neglected for many years. That alone was a great gain for me; but soon I found my old ailments were leaving me. First, asthma of twenty-five years' standing, then a rupture of ten years' standing. What seemed most wonderful of all was, that my left arm, which was dislocated forty-two years ago and never set in place, commenced to pain me in the shoulder-joint one night, and next morning I could move my arm any way I wanted to. Previous to this I could hardly raise my hand higher than my ear.

Afterward my eyesight improved, constipation and indigestion left me entirely. Although I had been a moderate drinker and smoker, I lost all desire for both drinking and smoking; and minor ailments left me.
