In 1893 I first noticed a very serious affection in my child's right eye, and in talking with an eminent specialist about her, he gave me glasses, without seeing her. These glasses were not suited to her and in a short time I called in a noted oculist, who told me that a serious nerve trouble was the occasion of the crossed eyes, and said she had the eyes of a person sixty-five years old, though she was then but four. He said that glasses would have to be procured immediately and worn during her school life. The spectacles were made, and she wore them for two or three days, when I decided that I would call upon another specialist of the same place. He told me that she was too young to wear glasses, and he gave me something to use in her eyes which he thought would eventually straighten them. The drops were used for two years, when he told me he thought it was time to put the glasses on as the drops had failed in what he thought they would do. He also said that at the age of eight an operation would have to be performed. I was in the depths of despair then, for I had seen children whose eyes had been operated upon, and in every instance the eyes had been ruined.

At that time I knew of no other alternative, but when she was eight years old I heard about Christian Science through the healing of a near relative in New York. I went to that city, and remained three weeks, during which time my daughter was treated, and when we returned home she was perfectly healed. She has had no trouble with her eyes since; there is no trace of the crossed condition, and to those who did not know of her former trouble, it seems a little hard to believe that such a condition ever existed.

It is needless for me to say that I feel very grateful for Christian Science, through which my child has been healed.
