I have been in Christian Science since August, 1902

C.M. McC.

I have been in Christian Science since August, 1902. The first of May, 1902, to please my wife I changed my doctor. He immediately pronounced my trouble locomotor-ataxia. I would not believe this, so I took him over to see a doctor that I had been with ever since I was seventeen years of age, and he said that the other doctor wrong.

I was extremely nervous and I made up my mind that I would have to go away for a little rest. I left Chicago the last part of June and went to Hyannisport, Mass. When I got there I was a physical wreck. It was very hard for me to walk in the daytime and I had to have somebody's arm and always had to carry a lantern at night. I was obliged to pull myself upstairs by the banisters and had to support myself when I went down. I kept taking my medicine, but I found that it did me no good.

When we left Chicago a friend gave my wife Mrs. Eddy's book, Science and Health, and I finally threw my medicine away, knowing that it did not help me. One day I was very sick and a Christian Scientist with whom we were staying came to see me. She talked to me for an hour and a half, and after that I could eat anything I wanted. Both of my feet and my legs to my knees would go to sleep, and it was very hard for me to wake them up.
