I beg to enclose a testimony from a lady residing in this Field, whose healing has occurred recently. The writer of it will be very grateful for its publication in our periodicals. I myself am writing to you because I can vouch for its truth.—W. W. Wilding, M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P.

The writer of this letter, which refers to the following testimony, was a practising physician for twelve years and is now a Christian Scientist.—[Ed.]

I feel very grateful for the help Christian Science has been to me, as I was under the doctor's care for nearly twenty years. My trouble centered in the brain and spinal cord. I suffered great pain in my head and yet more dreadfully in my back, and began to have shaking attacks in one arm, which gradually reached all my body. At times my head, arms, and legs would all be shaking, and times my head, arms, and legs would all be shaking, and these the doctor called spasmodic attacks. The shaking was followed by the cramping of my limbs, and then loss of power. I tried going away for change of air, and all the other means that doctors could suggest, but with very little benefit. If I did gain a little, I always soon lost it. Music had a strange effect upon me,—I lost consciousness if a band was allowed to play in passing my home, which was a great trial as I was very fond of music. For six years I was not able to walk, or move my legs at all, and for the last three years, after an attack of influenza, I was in bed most of the time. My back was so stiff at times that it could not be bent, and for eight or ten days at a time it could not be bent, and for eight or ten days at a time my arms became like my legs,—perfectly powerless. I was not able to move even a finger, having to be both washed and fed. For ten years I was not able to move my back or even turn myself in bed. The doctor plainly saw that my body would be completely powerless, and at this time advised me to try Christian Science, since it had come to his knowledge that a case had been marvelously healed by it.
