Four years ago, when I came into Christian Science, I was a very delicate girl. At the time, I was visiting some friends in another town who were not Scientists. All through girlhood I had suffered from an ailment which resulted in spasms of the heart and serious throat trouble. While down town one day I stopped at the Christian Science reading-room. The librarian talked to me very kindly and loaned me a copy of Science and Health to take home, and told me not to hurry with it. When I had read about half way through the book I was able to lay aside my spectacles, although at that time I was doing some very fine needlework. I had worn spectacles a little over seven years for far-sightedness and terrible headaches. I have never used them since, and that was five years ago last spring. Within two years from that time I was healed of the heart and throat trouble. I have changed so much in appearance and weight that all my friends are greatly surprised.

I would also like to tell of an accident that occurred over a year ago while at a friend's house. There was a heavy swinging door which I was about to push when it was accidentally pushed from the other side with such force as to throw me against the opposite wall. For a few minutes my nose was quite flat. That evening I went to see a practitioner—not for treatment, but to ask her advice. She said I could have the nose examined and set by a surgeon, if I so desired, and leave the healing to Science. The nose was said to be quite badly broken, in fact, a bit of bone was protruding through the skin, but I did not go to a surgeon to have it set. In eight or ten days the bone which had protruded disappeared, and in a little over three weeks all sense of pain to the touch was gone.

I was also healed in less than a week by the help of a practitioner from a painful injury to the foot, which was considered a very quick healing. With the exception of some deafness, of which I am improving, all my ailments have been healed through Science, and words fail to express my deep gratitude to divine Love, and to Mrs. Eddy, who through her wonderful life has shown us our birthright.
