Having derived much benefit from reading the testimonies in the Sentinel and Journal, I am moved to add my own in the hope that it will help some one who may perhaps be in a similar condition to that in which I was eight years ago. Five years previous to that time I had enteric fever, which so reduced my strength that for a long time I could not turn myself in bed. My convalescence was so very slow that I finally became a chronic invalid, having neurasthenia with all its accompanying troubles. I lay for weeks in a perfectly dark room, not being able to bear a ray of light, and could take nothing but liquid food for long spells at a time. I tried many of the best physicians, but without success. I finally went to a sanatorium, where I remained six months in bed. Here my mind became badly affected, and I asked to be taken away where I could be alone and quiet. I was taken away on a stretcher.

It now seemed as if there were nothing further that could be done, as I had hoped I might get help at the sanatorium. About this time I heard of Christian Science, and like a drowning man I grasped at a straw, as I then thought, but I soon found I was being drawn into a very secure boat wherein lay my rescue. I began taking treatment, and in the short space of two weeks I returned to my home, ready to take my place in the world again, to do as other men. I had found that for which I had been looking for five years,—health and, best of all, God. Since this time I have had some troubles to meet, but with the help of Christian Science they have always been overcome promptly, and to-day I am well and able to do work I never dreamed possible. I sincerely hope any reading this may be prompted to investigate Christian Science and find Truth for themselves.—E. G. R., New York, N. Y.
