From childhood I never knew what perfect health was...
From childhood I never knew what perfect health was, and I was very irritable and nervous. I dearly loved the church and was a faithful worker in all its societies. I loved my Bible, and prayed fervently to overcome evil in every form; my prayers seemed, most of the time, to remain unanswered, and I would often blame God when I fell into sin, as I had prayed for His help, and He apparently failed me.
Twelve years ago, after the birth of my little girl, I was left with serious internal troubles, and was in such a nervous state from treatments given by several physicians that I would cry several times a day. In October, 1899, a dear friend advised me to try Christian Science, but I ridiculed it at first. I loved my own church and faith so much that I was afraid to try anything which might lead me from it; however, I consented to talk to a practitioner. I was so impressed with the truth of what she said to me, that I asked her for treatment. The second day I threw away a surgical appliance which the doctor said I would always have to wear, and I have never needed it since. I was also cured of dyspepsia and severe bronchial trouble.
