Few have more reason than I to thank God for Christian Science

Benjamin St. John

Few have more reason than I to thank God for Christian Science. I was treated for fatty degeneration of the heart nearly three years ago, and now, thanks to Christian Science, I have a healthy heart.

Many other illnesses have disappeared one by one. I am cured of the liquor and tobacco habits; I was so saturated with tobacco, after nearly fifty years of its use, that many physicians, though saying that I was suffering from its effects, assured me that I could not survive the stopping of its use. But, thanks be to God, Christian Science has proved their judgment to be wrong.

I had previously had slight attacks of apoplexy and vertigo, which sometimes lasted from five to seven hours, during which time I lay helpless.

I had double vision, seeing two of everything, but now my eyes are better and stronger than when I was a boy.

Nasal polypus and catarrh in its worst form developed, and my doctors said my liver and kidneys were diseased. Insomnia made the nights worse than the days and locomotor ataxia so fettered my limbs that I walked short distances with great difficulty.

To-day with a grateful heart I testify that I am a healthy, happy man, and have found a practical religion that meets all my needs. The Bible and Mrs. Eddy's writings are my constant study.—Benjamin St. John, Darien, Conn.
