Grateful for Many Blessings

F. M. Ownbey

For fifteen years I suffered (periodically) untold agonies with female difficulties, which became chronic. I tried all kinds of doctors, all kinds of treatment, all kind of patent medicines, but every year grew worse. The pain became more acute, until I had to resort to morphine. I used that for about two years,—the last year the habit became chronic.

In July, 1897, I discovered a hard lump about the size of a coffee cup. The first thing I thought of was a tumor, as I had always been afraid of having a tumor. I nursed that thought, being helped on by my husband's fear, until I was almost constantly confined to my bed. The tumor grew until it became as large as a cocoanut. My husband took me to a noted doctor to see what could be done. He said I would have to have a surgical operation performed, and advised us to go to San Francisco to the hospital, as an operation of that nature would be a very serious one, and might result fatally.

When we were about ready to start, I was again confined to my bed, not able to move without help. This was the first of November, 1897, and I suffered terribly for two months. The only medicine I was taking at the time was morphine in regular doses. Hot applications were also resorted to. December 30, 1897, a friend called, and told us of the wonderful cures of Christian Science. I consented to be treated. I wrote to a healer. She gave me two absent treatments, and then came to see me. She arrived at 10 A.M., New Year's day, 1898. She had only been in the house about ten minutes when I was resting easily. When I went to show her the tumor, I found, to my utmost astonishment, there was nothing there, where at six o'clock that same morning a hard, sore lump, nearly as large as a person's head, had been. At noon no appearance of the trouble was to be seen, and has not been since.
