Christian Science was first brought to my attention by the healing of my wife of appendicitis. While she was having treatment, my fear was so great, that the practitioner suggested my taking a treatment, saying it would help my wife as well as myself. I consented, and after having the treatment, what was my surprise to find that all sense of fear had left me. This so impressed me, that the following day I began a course of treatments for myself. I also bought a copy of Science and Health, and began studying it.

For thirty years I had been a slave of the tobacco habit, both smoking and chewing, but in three days the desire to smoke was destroyed, in two weeks I did not care to chew, and I have never had the slightest desire to use tobacco since. For twenty-eight years I had the social drink habit, but in one month I lost my taste for liquor, and am positively healed, and free. I had also used distance glasses for over five years, but soon discovered that I could see all right without them, so I never put them on again. I had my near-sighted glasses made stronger twice, but in three months after treatment I found I could read without them, so have not used them for reading to this day. My hearing had been very poor for four or five years, and was rapidly growing worse. One day I found I was healed, and my hearing is perfect to-day.

For over a year I had a chronic case of nasal catarrh, which, according to materia medica, was incurable, but in three months after taking treatment it left me, and has never returned. I also used profanity, but that went with my other bad habits. Christian Science has changed my home from one of discord, to one of harmony, happiness, and love.
