Healed of Many Diseases

Claire Fairbanks

It is with heartfelt gratitude that I desire to make known what Christian Science has done for me. In July, 1900, I went east with my family to a quiet resort in Massachusetts, where I hoped to regain health of body and mind. After two years of terrible affliction, the passing away of father, brother, and two children, and numerous other troubles, the condition of my mind was almost beyond description. I had been East but two weeks when I became a very great sufferer from pains in my head and spine.

The best physicians were consulted and their medicines taken, but with no relief. In fact, my suffering increased until it seemed as though I would go mad. Surely such agony could not continue long. My nights were sleepless, and after a night of terrible suffering, I decided then and there that what little faith I had left in medicine had gone forever, and at sunrise I quietly stole out of the cottage and threw all the medicine I had into the lake, declaring that if I were ever cured it would be by some other power.

I had heard of Christian Science through a very dear friend, but had but little knowledge of it. However, I was determined to try it for myself as soon as possible.
