Thinking it my duty to make public my cure through Christian Science, I herein relate the facts as they transpired.

In the month of March, 1903, I felt a slight pain in my head, which went on increasing. Alarmed by this, I consulted a physician, who prescribed for me. As I saw myself no better, but on the contrary quite weak, I consulted another doctor. This gentlemen followed the same lines as the first, and his treatment, as may be imagined, brought even worse results. As my debility continued, I then consulted a very famous pharmaceutist in the quarter where I live. With this gentleman I had better results. He said I was suffering from a severe general debility which had affected my lungs; this I believed, as I felt pain in my lungs and passed most miserable nights. I was convulsed with coughing, and thus day by day I was growing worse and worse, until I found myself completely prostrated, without energy for the slightest task.

Finally I consulted another doctor. At this time my health was very bad. I suffered from great pain in my lungs, expectoration of blood, fatigue, copious perspiration, and in short, all the symptoms of pulmonary disease, as the doctor declared it to be. With his remedies I felt some relief, above all with the one of which I took fifty grammes a day. By the aid of this medicine my cough was reduced, the pain in my lungs lessened, also the expectoration of blood, and I even began to sleep better. But this improved condition lasted only so long as the effect of the drugs lasted. Then my cough would return with renewed force, the pain would be sharper, and the expectoration of blood more abundant. Thus it was after every use of the drugs; first a calm, then worse pain than before.
