When Christian Science was first presented to me, nearly three years ago, I was suffering from a severe attack of a stomach trouble of many years' standing. There were many things which I could not eat, as they always seemed to cause suffering. I had been sick for nearly a month, and the physician who was treating me gave me very little encouragement. He said he was doing all he could for me, so I continued to take the medicines which he prescribed, and to eat the few things which he said I might eat. But instead of getting any better, I was continually growing worse.

One day a friend suggested Christian Science. She was not a Scientist herself, but she thought it could do no harm to try it, as medicine was not helping me. I said I had no faith in it, but that afternoon I was taken very sick, and after hesitating for some time, I finally decided to try Christian Science. I received my first treatment that evening, and slept all night, something very unusual at that time. The next morning I had very little pain, and ate everything that was placed before me that day, though half expecting to feel worse from it, because this was something I had not been able to do for years. I, however, felt better than I had for a long time, and two days later I was perfectly well. I now eat anything that I want and it does not hurt me at all.

I have had many demonstrations of Truth's power since that time, but that which means more to me than all the physical healing, is the spiritual help and the peace, contentment, and happiness that have come to me through the study of Christian Science. I am very grateful to God, also to Mrs. Eddy, who has given us this blessed truth.
