Give God the Praise

BY MRS. IRENE FULLER DAWSON.

In reviewing the past sixteen months I feel that I have been slowly but surely passing through a change: from darkness to light, as it were. Materially speaking, I had been my own doctor for years. I learned something about medicine from reading, and later had some experience as a nurse. There I learned that doctors prescribed patent medicine very often in their practice. Consequently, when my health failed I took charge of my own case, with an occasional consultation with a physician who tried to help me, but his remedies did not agree with me, so I applied such remedies as I thought my system would bear.

As a result of the grip the whole of my left side was almost paralyzed. I bought porous plasters by the dozen. They did not cure me, but I thought I could not live without them. I was plastered from head to foot, causing my daughters no little amusement.

It was at this point that a music teacher came to the village and introduced Christian Science. My daughter often urged me to try it. I was willing to try almost anything, but felt that I must know and investigate first. I was afraid of being experimented on. After some little time the music teacher kindly called and gave me the address of a practitioner and loaned me some reading matter. After looking it over carefully I came to the conclusion that it would not kill if it did not cure, so decided to try it at once.
