For fifteen years I had been a sufferer from indigestion, to such an extent that it often interfered with my attending to business, and from a constant fear of a complete breakdown, I limited my ability and my efforts in every way. Seven years ago, while in New York in business, I placed myself under treatment which did not prove successful; yet the seed was sown, and two years and a half ago, when my suffering was such that I was almost desperate,—ready to give up my business, and resign myself to being an invalid,—I remembered the ideas I had formed of Christian Science, and believed that I could be healed. I did not know of a practitioner in my home town, or even if there was one, and only knew of one person who was interested in Christian Science. I hunted him up and was directed to a practitioner, and in three days' treatment I was enabled to eat anything I wanted. In three weeks I was a well man and have had no return of this trouble. It is needless to say that I am happy in having found God to be what Mrs. Eddy pictures Him.

I have interested many in Christian Science, and have seen them cured of intemperance, rheumatism, lumbago, curvature of the spine which had been treated for sixteen years under a specialist, heart trouble, nervous prostration, indigestion, and many other troubles. I am indeed thankful to God for leading me to this blessed truth, which Mrs. Eddy teaches in her book, Science and Health, and which reveals the true idea of God.
