Letters to our Leader

with contributions from John E. Playter, Kate G. Baker, Theresa H. Garrison, Sarah E. Bradley

Aberdeen, Wash., August 30, 1905.

Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy, Author of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures."

My Dear Mrs. Eddy:— Seven years ago I was healed through the reading of Science and Health. Since then I have longed to tell you how much gratitude I have that there is in the world a volume the reading of which dispels and destroys disease. Such a restoration to health has been my experience, and I am glad to bear testimony to the fact, not alone of the healing but of the permanency of it, as I have since enjoyed robust health. For several years I had suffered with many diseases and complications, chronic, acute, functional, organic, and hereditary, and during the last five years of this period I was slipping away quite rapidly. While some of my troubles were pronounced incurable, and it was generally understood that I would never be well again, I tried to keep hopeful, pinning my faith to drugs, hygiene, diet, air, and exercise, but there came a time when despair was in the ascendancy and the end appeared not far off.
