Sincerest gratitude impels me to testify to the rich blessings which have come to me through Christian Science. In 1906 I was taken ill with a severe lung trouble. Although I consulted various physicians, the affliction steadily grew worse, so that it became impossible for me to attend to my household duties. Besides having a terrible cough, I was afflicted with asthma.

When this ailment was at its height and I had given up all hope of ever improving, a friend called my attention to Christian Science, and I immediately went to see a practitioner in Hannover. After the first treatment I felt so much better that I was able to sleep quietly, and in the measure of the growth of my trust in God, my cough disappeared, until I acquired the unshaken certainty that our only help is in God, who heals all our diseases, for the psalmist assures us that he who dwells in the secret place of the most High, abides under the shadow of the Almighty—sin and disease cannot touch him. After four weeks treatment I was able to resume my work, and in three months' time I was completely healed of the lung trouble. The physicians had also told me that I would have to submit to an operation after childbirth, but in this experience, too, Christian Science has been my help.

After I had received such quick help, my husband applied to the practitioner who had shown so much loving-kindness in my case. He had been suffering for ten years with a very painful stomach and bowel trouble, accompanied by great loss of blood. Many were the physicians whom he had consulted without success. Although he had not been allowed to eat other than soft food for five years, his condition was such that at times he would be laid up for weeks. We now knew that with God all things are possible, and my husband set his hope on the great Physician. The disease gradually disappeared through treatment, and my husband now is not only able to eat any kind of food, but is also completely healed of this disease of years' standing.
