It is a little over five years since I became interested in Christian Science. A few months after my healing, which was the cause of my coming into Christian Science, my twelve-year-old daughter was taken to a dentist to have two teeth extracted. The work seemed to be quite difficult and she was restored to consciousness only after a hard struggle. After this she seemed to be greatly changed, and suffered at times with attacks of extreme nervousness. This soon developed into the disease known as St. Vitus' dance. For several months she was a great care, having to be watched constantly day and night, and to be led around and fed by some one. We consulted several physicians, who could do nothing for her and gave her only a few months to live. It had always been difficult for her to talk plainly, as she had stammered considerably from the time she learned to talk. After having been attacked by this nervous disease one could scarcely understand her at all, and at times she would be unable to speak. This was pronounced tongue paralysis. After learning that the physicians could do nothing for her, we decided to try Christian Science. The first few treatments she received at home, as she was unable to go to the practitioner's office, but after a few days she could walk quite a distance without falling. At the end of three weeks she was cured, not only of St. Vitus' dance, but also of stammering.

The case was, of course, watched closely by physicians and neighbors, who knew that the child was in a very critical condition. When they recognized the improvement they were very much astonished, but were unwilling to give Christian Science credit for the healing. I feel very grateful for what Christian Science has done and is still doing for me and my family. Language seems inadequate to express my gratitude for this wonderful truth which has been revealed to us by our dear Leader.

Mrs. Henry Kane, Toledo, O.
