In the spring of 1903, while playing with some schoolmates, my collar-bone was broken. I told my friends to go on playing, but that I wouldn't play any more. Then I went in the house and lay down.

After a little time, my sister told my mother that she thought the collar-bone was broken. My mother came in and told me to raise my arm, but I could not, for something hurt me. She then asked if I would like a doctor. I said, "No" ; so she took Science and Health and read to me until I fell asleep. I slept soundly all that night and every other night following, but one. My mother treated me for a few days and then requested another practitioner to continue the treatment. I got well quicker than I expected, for I was out of school just one week. There was a lump on my collar-bone all summer, but it is gone now. I am very thankful to God, and to Mrs. Eddy, for the help in time of trouble. I am a little girl eleven years old.—Ruby I. White, Anita, Ia.
