I wish to give something in return for the good that Christian Science has brought me. I am a physician, a graduate of class of 1881, from Jefferson College of Philadelphia, Pa. My health broke down in 1895, and I went West and lived in the mountains in idleness for six years, seeking health. I came back in 1901, and received my first lessons in Christian Science. I was then an inveterate chewer of tobacco. I was prevailed on by friends to try Christian Science, but I had no faith in it. In a week's treatment, however, I was cured, and I have never had any desire for the weed since. I went to studying Science and Health, and was cured of another habit, that of the practice of medicine. I gave this up, and as I knew nothing else, at forty—eight years of age I turned carpenter. I am expecting soon to take class instruction. In the days when I practised medicine I belonged to an orthodox church, and used to attend from a sense of duty, when I had time. Now I go to our little Christian Science church from a sense of love and a desire for the truth.
