I was advised by a friend to try Christian Science, and I sent for a practitioner, who came to me, and I was healed in less than one week. From childhood I had never known a well day. I was healed of lung trouble of long standing,—consumption was hereditary in our family, my mother and other relatives having passed on with it, and the law of materia medica was that in a short time I must follow them. I had severe stomach trouble of ten years' standing, during which time I always retired without supper, as the fear of suffering from my food was so great that I denied myself even when hungry.

For over twenty years I had ovarian trouble, which was almost unbearable at times. It dated from the birth of my first child, and at one time the doctors advised an operation. I suffered from nearly all the ills that flesh is heir to, but, thanks be to God who so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,—that blessed Christ who was sent to us to open the eyes of the blind and set the captive free,—the truth reached me through my study of our textbook, which gives us an understanding of the Christ.

Words fail me to express what Christian Science has done for me in every way, for my children, and my home. The physical healing is but a small part of the blessing, the spiritual unfolding and uplifting is the pearl of great price. The half has never yet been told.
