It is twelve years since I was healed through Christian Science of catarrh, asthma, female trouble, and hemorrhoids. For seventeen years I had suffered, oftentimes day and night. At such times, the only sleep I would get, was such as I could take while sitting in my chair. I tried many different doctors, as well as eclectic and magnetic treatment. I also tried the climate of Colorado, and came back from there but little benefited. We then moved to Western Kansas, and for five years I had relief from the asthma, but the other troubles were no better. The physician said my case was hopeless, and then I decided to try Christian Science. I sent for a practitioner and asked her to take my case. She gave me a present treatment, and for two weeks, she alternated with absent and present treatments. By that time, I was able to go to her house, which was twelve blocks away. Much of the time, I had to go through the snow. When I began my treatments, I was unable even to get across the street, but in six weeks I was entirely healed of all my diseases. I sent for Science and Health and began its study, at the same time doing all my work, including washing and ironing and all my sewing, even to running the sewing machine.

I have always been very thankful that I turned to Christian Science, although I had no faith in it when I began my treatments.—Mrs. Mary L. Root, Topeka, Kan.
