It has long been in my thought to say a word of loving gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me. I was afflicted for twenty years with what doctors called chronic liver complaint, nervous dyspepsia, and female trouble. I was treated by several eminent physicians, without receiving any permanent relief; I also wore a galvanic-electric belt and used different kinds of medicine, which were of no lasting benefit. I was so nervous much of the time that I could not sleep. In 1895 a lady friend of mine, who had not walked for seven years, was being treated by Christian Science, and she improved so fast that I was induced to try it myself. I learned through her that the healing was from God, and that made me more anxious for it, as I had much faith in God; but I did not know how to exercise this faith until I came into Christian Science, and I had lost all faith in material remedies. Although my healing was not instantaneous, my health gradually grew better, through Christian Science treatment. I have had to ask for help on different occasions since I was first healed through the truth, but since coming into a better understanding of Christian Science I am able to help myself and others. I have not taken a dose of medicine in nine years. I used to make a god of medicine, and the Scripture says, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." In this Science I have learned that God is an ever-present physician, the truth an ever-present remedy.

My heart goes out in gratitude to Mrs. Eddy for the work that she has done, and is still doing for the world, and I am more than grateful to God, who has guided me to this truth. I hope that these few words may help to lift some one out of the bondage of sickness and sin "into the glorious liberty of the children of God."
