ERNEST J. BLOUNT

I wish to testify to my healing of blood-poisoning, also of pleurisy, through Christian Science. The first trouble made its appearance on the back of my neck, and gradually got worse, until I was obliged to take to my bed. A serious condition rapidly manifested itself, and my head became very much discolored and was swollen to a great extent. In addition to this I suffered great pain from a large carbuncle on my body, and also had a very severe attack of lung trouble. I was made to understand that the condition was serious, and was told that something had to be done. I was asked if I would prefer a doctor or Christian Science. I chose the latter, and am very thankful that I did.

I received absent treatment for several days, but did not seem to get any better, in fact the change seemed to be for the worse, as part of the time I was delirious. On Sunday, five days after I took to my bed, the practitioner came out to see me, and gave me a treatment. In less than one hour after the practitioner had gone there was a discharge from the boils, and after this had taken place I suddenly became aware of the fact that I was able to rest and to breathe easily. On the fourth day after these happenings I was downstairs, and on the following day I went into the city on an electric car. From the time I took to my bed, until the time I went into the city again, was ten days. After my recovery the back of my head became entirely bald. I took treatments for this also, and in a short time I had a heavier and thicker growth of hair, and I am in far better health than ever before.

I cannot find words to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me, not only in the healings mentioned in this testimony, but for the innumerable benefits that I have received through obedience to its teachings. I have written this in the hope that it will lead some one to share the joys and benefits that I have received in Christian Science.—ERNEST J. BLOUNT, Duluth, Minn.
