Eighteen years ago the physicians thought it necessary to give me morphie most of the time, which resulted in my becoming a slave to the drug. My husband had patiently borne with me, till to save my life it became necessary to send me to a sanitarium to be treated. I took the cure six different times, at an expense of about eighteen hundred dollars, but the desire for the drug seemed to be more intense than before. After trying all the cures I could hear of, and being in constant fear of the most dreaded of all experiences, convulsions, which I had been having for some time, I was given up to die in a short time. At this darkest hour of my need, when all material means had failed, I was told of divine Love as being an ever-present help. My husband and myself had no confidence in Christian Science, but we decided that it could make me no worse, and it was the last chance. We turned to the things spoken of in the Scriptures,—the things of the Spirit,—and found hope.

I very tremblingly placed myself in the hands of God for relief from this awful dungeon of darkness and despair into which myself and my family had been plunged. I was relieved with the first treatment, and after some weeks of patient trying I was free from the desire for the drug. The way has been rugged many times, but my husband and I thank God for His protecting care over us, and we are thankful for the truth as given in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, which has shown us the way to eternal life.

Mrs. W. D. Albright, Sumner, Okla.
