With the hope of giving encouragement to some despairing one, I will state a little of what Christian Science has done for me, although the half cannot be told in one testimony. Always of a nervous temperament. I received, when yet a schoolgirl, an injury to the spine which caused constant and untold suffering for ten years. Doctors could give no relief, and I became a nervous wreck. I then tried osteopahty for two years or more, which did relieve me somewhat but my system was so weakened that I could not take the necessary treatment.

After another five years of semiinvalidism, I hopelessly turned to Christian Science through the advice of a friend who had been healed by it. I commenced to read Science and Health, also the Lesson-Sermons and the Sentinel, While my healing has been slow, it has been sure. I am not now conscious that I have a back, so far as pain is concerned, and the bowel trouble which I had endured since infancy has been wholly removed. I now can do without fatigue work which once would have been impossible, and am better physically, mentally, and spiritually, than at any time during my past life. Is it any wonder that I praise God, "that girdeth me with strength," or honor that noble woman, Mrs. Eddy, who has made it possible for suffering humanity to find heaven upon earth—now and here?

I will gladly answer any question in regard to my case.
