What Christian Science has done in Our Home

BY CARRIE BARSTOW PHELPS.

From my earliest recollection the dark, sad shadows of sickness and suffering had been over our home most of the time, until September, 1898, when Christian Science came to us; now we have health and happiness where care and sorrow had seemed to reign for many years.

My case was one of weak constitution, inherited from my mother, whose life seemed largely made up of suffering. I do not remember an afternoon in school that I did not have a headache, and many times mother would have to help me to bed as soon as I reached home so that I might sleep away the pain and nausea. I always had to be careful about my food, and as I grew older had more and more trouble from dyspepsia and sick headaches, until I was obliged to be put under a regular course of medical treatment.

After months of treatment, and with only partial relief at times, another physician was called and he tried faithfully to build me up, but I only seemed to add more ills. Then followed more examinations, and one of the physicians said I was suffering from diabetes. The other examining physician advised an operation for a serious eye trouble for which I had been under treatment by an oculist for some months.
