Charles L. Razoux

In July, 1908, I was pronounced by some of the best surgeons in Boston to be beyond aid. From being a strong, healthy man, and only having been laid up a month before the operation, I had come out of the hospital greatly reduced. My leg had to be kept in a cast for six months, and I used crutches for a year. The trouble had come from a fall; I had been thrown heavily from a bicycle, the knee being seriously injured. The accident did not trouble me much at the time, but three years later my leg got very bad, and I went to a doctor. After a month's treatment, it became worse. He said that there was a tubercular condition of the bone, and advised an operation. I was in the hospital a month, and came out not only a wreck of my former self but afflicted with rectal and bladder trouble, and as weak as a child. After leaving the hospital I gained a little in weight, but was unable to do any work, and after two years my trouble came back and was much worse than the first time; the bone became porous, and the leg was greatly swollen. I again went to the hospital and had an X-ray examination. It was then the surgeons told me there was no hope; that my leg must be amputated above the knee, or my life would be forfeited.

I was very despondent and suffered terribly; I slept very little, and could hardly walk, my knee paining me so that I expressed the wish to a friend that I might die. My friend asked me why I did not try Christian Science; but I scorned the advice because of what I had read of it in the papers. He then asked me what I knew about it, and I was forced to admit that I knew nothing. My friend then told me that about a year before, after he had been given up by the doctors, as a last resort he had tried Christian Science, and in a short time was well. This interested me, and that afternoon I went to see the practitioner who had helped my friend.

I was relieved of the extreme suffering almost at once, and within four months the pain had almost all gone. The bone at my knee soon commenced to get back into place, and when, after less than a year's treatment, I was examined by one of the surgeons who had told me at the hospital that nothing more could be done for me, he said, "Your knee is all right; the trouble has entirely disappeared." Since then my other ailments have almost wholly been healed. Friends who had seen me, and had felt that I had not long to live, asked me what I had done to make such a change for the better. I told them, and many of them felt inclined to try it for some ills of their own. Of some thirty who have become interested in Science through my healing, almost all have been wonderfully helped at once, and many have been almost instantly healed of troubles of long standing.
