Before learning of Christian Science I had suffered from indigestion until I had become very weak and emaciated. It was so bad that the doctor said I would have to go to the hospital and be treated, and that it would take about two months to cure me. I was obliged to have my stomach pumped out every day, and any one can understand how I dreaded this ordeal.

A week before it was decided that I should go to the hospital my husband went east on business, and while waiting in Portland for his train he called on some friends who had been healed through Christian Science. They gave him such convincing accounts that he decided to write a letter to me telling me what it had done for his friends, and said that I could be healed too, if I could believe. He told me that I should have to take no medicine, and that it was the divine power of God that was to heal me. We had never heard of Christian Science before, and this was something very new to me.

I mentioned the fact to several of my acquaintances, but they said it was all a humbug, insisting that the times are different now, and that the people are different from what they were in the time of Jesus.
