In a recent number of the Sentinel, in one of the editorials, we are told to "declare the exact opposite of what the deceitful material senses testify." I would like to tell of a demonstration which was made almost instantaneously by putting this rule into practice.

My little son, five years of age, was taken with the measles. He started out to have them more severely than any child I had ever seen, and was put into the hands of a practitioner. His eyes especially were very much affected, being so swollen and inflamed that he could hardly see.

On the third day the health officer came to put up a sign and saw the child running around as usual. He called my attention to his eyes, and said if I did not keep him in a dark room he would always suffer with them, and cautioned me over and over again to keep the room darkened. I denied this silently as he was talking, but said nothing about Christian Science to him, and simply answered, "He will have the best of care."
