I came into Christian Science about September, 1903

John Tiffin

I came into Christian Science about September, 1903. I had been examined, ten months previous, by an able physician, who discovered a floating kidney. He said that if allowed to remain in this condition it would affect my nerves. This it did, and from that time until I came into Christian Science my suffering was intense. The doctor said the kidney must be stitched to the muscles of my back, and then he was not positive of favorable results. This kidney has not troubled me in the least since I have been studying Christian Science, and I think nobody can understand my gratitude but those who have been affected with nervous trouble in a similar manner.

Another benefit which I have had in Science, was in the cure of consumption. I came West for this trouble, a brother and sister having died with it. When I took up the study of Christian Science I had tried medicine and climate for two and a half years, with little improvement. However, at this point I would like to state, in justice to a noble doctor of medicine, that he once saved my life by an operation. This trouble has attracted my attention but very little since studying Science and Health, and I feel that it never will if I remain true to this teaching. Another demonstration was over chronic constipation, for which I have had only Science treatment. This was over a year and a half ago. I would like to add that I became an invalid during a nine-years study of medicine. Then medicine brought no relief for two years and a half, when I took up the study of Christian Science. Six months from the day I first opened Mrs. Eddy's book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," I considered myself well.

Will also add that I could never have practised my chosen profession, dentistry, had it not been for Christian Science. In the last year and seven months I have been but one day out of the office on account of my health, and this was when I first commenced the study of Christian Science.
