A little over a year ago I was suffering greatly with an inherited trouble,—salt rheum,—and my hands were raw, itching, and bleeding. Medical treatment having no effect whatever, my husband, who had looked into Christian Science a little, asked me why I did not try it, consequently I called on a practitioner and commenced treatment. At the time I was wearing eyeglasses for farsightedness, as without them the pain was always intense. At my second call the practitioner suggested that I take them off, which I did, and have never needed glasses since.

A stomach trouble which had existed from birth also disappeared, and I ate whatever I wanted and all I wanted without thinking that it might distress me. The salt rheum hung on, however, and with my many doubts and fears it grew worse; but I had a strong feelings that God was able and willing to heal me, and the practitioner was very patient and kind. It took a year before the healing was done, but to—day my hands are clear and entirely healed, and I am most happy that I kept on in Science.

Christian Science has helped my husband and myself in many ways, and the beauty of Science is that it helps in the smallest needs of our every—day life. Only those who have tasted and seen the goodness of God as revealed in this teaching can appreciate the love and gratitude that Christian Scientists have for their beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and to all the kind friends who have helped them in the way to a realization of Immanuel,—God with us.
