I desire to tell how thankful I am to God for sending the light to me, through our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy; and to the dear practitioners who did so much for me.

About seventeen years ago, I was in a very critical condition, caused by constipation. I had tried everything that the doctors prescribed, but nothing did my any good. I learned that a Christian Science practitioner was in the city, and I thought I would send for her and see if there was any good in the treatments. Like many others, I doubted, but in a short time I was healed. I bought Science and Health, but laid it aside and paid little attention to it.

In a number of years I found myself once more an invalid, with a complication of diseases, — rheumatism, congestion of the blood, and stomach trouble. I was almost ready to pass out, and said to my family that I would not be with them long, as I found myself growing weaker each day. I then decided to try Christian Science, and my sister sent for a practitioner, who arrived at ten o'clock in the morning. After laving all my sorrows and troubles before her, she declared them to be unreal, and said I should eat my dinner. My sister looked at her in amazement, and exclaimed, "She can't eat that, she has been living on a milk diet." I said, "I shall eat my dinner, and it will not hurt me; God has provided this meal for me," and my demonstration was made. It did not hurt me, and I began to improve from that minute. My healing was slow, but I never was discouraged, for some of my ailments were healed instantaneously. I had suffered all my life from sick headache. My family would not leave me alone when I had a severe attack of it, as I would faint away. At times I would have two or three of these severe attacks in a week. I was also a great sufferer from neuralgia, — did not dare to go out on windy days, or sit in a draft. I am now healed of all my complaints through Christian Science and am perfectly well.
