For many years before coming West, I was actively engaged in the practice of medicine,—being a graduate from a leading medical university of the regular school, having also taken two post-graduate courses in New York City. My wife had an affection of the bronchial tubes, which had resisted the treatment of the best physicians both East and West, and the change of climate which we made for her health, availed nothing. Thoroughly discouraged, she went to a Christian Science practitioner for treatment, and in a remarkably short time was entirely well and has remained so. Formerly she took cold on exposure to the slightest drafts; now she never does. Seeing that Christian Science had done for her what I, and the most eminent men in the medical profession, had failed to accomplish, I went myself to the practitioner for treatment for chronic malaria. I had taken nearly every known and accepted remedy for this trouble during the past twenty years, and had been in the hospital unable to arise from my bed for weeks at a time. After a short course of treatment, my old trouble disappeared; it has failed to return at its accustomed season, and I am cured. I also had had frequent attacks of acute laryngitis, and at the time I began treatment could not speak above a whisper. It yielded almost in a day, and has never returned.

Both my wife and myself have since had the benefit of class instruction, and have so grasped this wonderful Science that we have both been able to make some most remarkable demonstrations. The medicine chest, which had so long been one of the necessary fixtures of our home, and from which we regularly took our doses, has been emptied of its former contents and put to a more acceptable use.

I am sure that Christian Science will meet every human need and every mortal ill. The aim of every honest physician is to prevent and cure disease. If he will only investigate Christian Science, he will find a way to accomplish this noble purpose far superior to anything he now has. I was strongly prejudiced against Christian Science and a firm believer in medical pratice, but I am glad I investigated, for it has revealed an ever-present power, which is able to cope with every unhappy condition and every disease.
