Some years ago I was seriously ill, and suffering from what appeared to be a general breaking down of the system. I coughed constantly, and from the strain of the coughing was ruptured seriously. I was told by the physician whom I consulted that I must wear a truss constantly, or submit to a surgical operation. I was then over seventy years of age, so did not look with favor upon a surgical operation, but used the truss instead. As my condition grew gradually worse, I consulted a Christian Science practitioner, and after a time placed myself under her treatment. This was in 1902. The effect of the treatment seemed to be marvelous; in a few days I dispensed with the truss and experienced no inconvenience from its non-use. I also recovered from the cough, and have been substantially a well man ever since.

I am now more than eighty years of age, and I attribute my good health and the strength I have to pursue and perform the labors of my profession, that of the law, during the last six or seven years, to the benefits received in Christian Science. I am more than grateful for the spiritual understanding that has come to me through the study of this Science.—R. P. CLEMENT, Piedmont, Cal.

It affords me great pleasure to give my testimony to one particular healing which I received through Christian Science. This healing was instantaneous, and impressed me as a very great demonstration. I had for years been an occasional great sufferer from the effects of poison oak, as the attacks were very persistent and did not yield to materia medica. I had been suffering intensely the most of the former season, and could hardly tell when one attack ended and the other began. I tried everything known in medicine, and became nearly desperate from the intolerable irritation and loss of sleep. As a last resort I went to a Christian Science practitioner, hardly hoping for relief, but knowing not what else to do. After studying the Lesson-Sermon and while the Scientist was treating me, I was, much to my surprise, suddenly relieved from the torment. This was succeeded by peace and comfort, and I went to bed and to sleep, for the first time in many days. This I consider a very remarkable cure. I could tell of relief given many times, but this was instantaneous.
