The following demonstration, has been of such help to me through the lesson it has taught, that I feel it may be of equal help to some one else, so I send it out to the Field.

When eighteen years of age, I had the measles, and in due time recovered from them, with apparently no bad effects. About a year later, I became conscious of the fact that I was perfectly deaf in one ear, and immediately attributed it to the measles, as I had been told that they usually left an unpleasant after effect, especially in the case of adults. I did not try to do anything for the trouble through materia medica, for I supposed it was incurable, and my other ear being very good, it was not a great inconvenience. In a few years, however, I began to be troubled with my good ear whenever I bathed. At first the deafness would only last about fifteen minutes, but gradually the time increased, until I took up the study of Christian Science, when it grew much worse.

I treated myself earnestly and faithfully, but apparently to no purpose. Right here let me say that I always did the treating after I had bathed and when the deafness was present. This went on for a number of months, and the trouble had reached the point where the deafness would last until ten and eleven o'clock the following day, causing me much fear, inconvenience, and mortification.
