Healed after Operations Failed

V. M.

An old farmer in Scotland had been laid up during the winter, with blood-poisoning in his leg. This was a great trouble and loss to him, as he was unable to do any work. When the Christian Scientist first went to him, he could not believe it possible for him to be healed, as the doctor had failed. However, after four days' treatment, all the swelling and discoloration had completely disappeared, and to his intense joy he was able to put his boot on and get to work once more. The doctor was much astonished to meet him walking to market, perfectly well.

Another case was that of a young man who had been in the infirmary in Glasgow, to undergo two operations at different times, and was finally sent home incurable. He had been laid up three years when he began to take Christian Science treatment. He was crutches, and quite unable to go outside his cottage door. At night he was unable to sleep for the pain in his leg. He had two running sores which had baffled all medical skill, but after one week's treatment they were quite healed, and he was able to away one crutch, and slept well all night.

After continuing treatment for four weeks, he was able to walk without any crutch, but with two sticks, which he has since put away. His leg has now grown as long as the other one, and all the stiffness and swelling are completely gone. It is some months since he was healed, and he writes that he is able to work now and to walk any distance, and that he weighs fourteen stone (196 pounds).
