When I began to read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures"...

When I began to read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, I was an invalid and had been for several years, with a diseased condition of the bowels and stomach which had followed an attack of fever. I had physicians of all the different schools, including specialists and sanitarium treatment, but nothing seemed to check the disease, which was slowly affecting all the organs of my body. I had reached the point where dying seemed easier than living, as there appeared to be no hope of relief from my sufferings in any other way. One day a lady whom I knew but slightly asked about my health, and after telling her that I despaired of getting well, she asked me to read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" and presented me with the book. I took it, and promised to read it, though I wondered what it could do for a person in my condition. I read the book, and in a few months was absolutely cured of that disease.

I was also cured of a severe case of rheumatic trouble, from which I had suffered for over seven years. I had tried everything in materia medica, as well as electricity, massage, etc., but had never received any permanent help therefrom. I had one week of treatment from a Christian Science practitioner for this complaint, and was healed, and I have never had any return of the disease. I also received a new understanding of God as ever-present, unchangeable, "the same Life, Love, and wisdom 'yesterday, and today, and forever'" (Science and Health, p. 283). I am indeed grateful to Mrs. Eddy for bringing us this truth which heals the sick, an understanding of God as the Life and Mind of all real being.

Mrs. G. L. Foex, Denver, Col.
