I am a willing witness to the healing power of Christian Science, having had a lifetime's battle with disease and medical experiments. Various doctors finally admitted that they had exhausted their resources, and could only offer me palliatives, saying that a cure was impossible. I had paralysis of the bowels, an almost continuous condition of low fever, frequent sick-headaches with unutterable agony, and my mortal career was nearly brought to an end by a malignant type of yellow fever. Many were the attending evils of this physical disharmony, but God confuses the wisdom of men, for while studying Science and Health two years ago, the veil of ignorance was lifted and perfect health was shown to me to be my real condition, and to such there is no relapse. The constant use of glasses, which were apparently a necessity to me for years, was proven needless, and they were laid aside. Mrs. Eddy has made Scripture reading a never-failing well of comfort to me. By her interpretation "the way of the Lord" is made straight to me and mind. It aids us in our daily overcoming of the tyranny of the flesh and its rebellion against the blessed leading of Christ, Truth. The daily study of the Bible and our text-book is bringing more and more into our consciousness the power of God unto salvation.

Out of the joy of my heart comes the story of my healing. Two years ago I was a very unhappy woman, sick in body and mind. For a long time I had been troubled several months of each year with nervous exhaustion, during which period I was so weak and miserable that life seemed indeed a burden. My work was at a standstill—I only existed. Two years ago I went through the unhappiest winter of my life. A heavy sorrow was laid upon me that seemed to crush out all joy and hope. I longed to forget it all in change of scene and climate, but circumstances forbade. My mental unrest produced such a weak and exhausted physical condition that as soon as I could summon strength or interest to plan at all, I decided I must go West for a long vacation.
