It is four years since I sought Christian Science for the healing. All my life I had had constipation, using almost every material remedy prescribed for that trouble. I had never known what it was to eat like other people, and the year before I took up Science I had indeed "suffered many things of many physicians." My stomach almost refused to act at all, and the little food I ate caused great distress for hours, even though I took medicine which was supposed to digest it. That winter I suffered so intensely from hemorrhoids that an operation was considered necessary, the result being that I was a complete nervous wreck. When in this miserable state of health, a friend who had been healed in Science advised my trying it. She loaned me a copy of Science and Health, and after reading it for some time, I bought a copy for myself. I could not at first grasp the meaning of very much of it, although the chapter on Christian Science Practice helped me. I then went to Denver for the purpose of taking treatment, and in four weeks I returned home a well woman.

I cannot be too grateful for the blessings this Science has brought to me, and for the spiritual uplifting that has come with it. My heart goes out in gratitude to Mrs. Eddy for bringing this wonderful saving truth to us.
