At the close of my college course in 1905, I was left in a miserable mental and physical state, having suffered for a number of years from frequent attacks of acute stomach trouble accompanied by severe pains in the heart, etc. I also suffered greatly from rheumatism, and at times during my school course it was necessary for me to lie in bed while studying my lessons. About this time a growth began to manifest itself on my neck, and I was considerably alarmed at its presence. I had also very troublesome eyes and had been wearing glasses for five years, an eye specialist having informed me that I would have to wear them the rest of my life, as my eyes could not be healed. I suffered greatly if I removed them even for a short period.

I tried different kinds of medicine, with exercise and baths, but received only temporary relief from my troubles until finally I turned to Christian Science through the healing of a sister. I began to take treatment, and at the first visit my eyes were healed. My glasses were laid aside, and I have not worn them since. I also experienced a wonderful moral and spiritual uplift from this treatment, and all desire for smoking, drinking, and profanity left me. The stomach trouble was relieved in a few weeks, as was also the heart trouble, and the growth was destroyed after one year's treatment. Since that time many discordant conditions have been overcome, and in the past three years I have depended wholly on Christian Science as my guide, not only to health and happiness but in business matters, to which it has been applied with marked results. I am filled with gratitude to God for the many blessings I have received, and also feel deeply grateful to Mrs. Eddy.
