Cured of Drink by Christian Science

The New York Evening Journal

Newark, February 25.—While Lizzie Arlington professes to have been reformed, the police and physicians are watching her case with much interest, but Lizzie has faith in herself this time, and greater faith in George M. McClintock and the teachings of Christian Science. After twelve years of habitual drunkenness she is on the right road, and she says she intends to stay there. Lizzie was cured of the curse which had held her so long, while a prisoner in the Newark jail. Now she is free, and has a position with a good family.

Mr. McClintock declares that nothing cured Lizzie but the teachings and methods of Christian Science. He showed her the way and she proved a willing patient. The story of her cure is remarkable.

"I first heard of Lizzie," said Mr. McClintock, who is a well-known business man of Newark, "on December 3 last. I was sitting in the parlor of my home at No. 1116A Broad Street, reading a newspaper. I noticed an account of the poor woman. The story told about Judge Sweeney sending her to jail with the intention of having her committed to the Morris Plains Asylum later as a dipsomaniac. Judge Sweeney had been appointed and still is her guardian.
