I am very happy to tell what Christian Science has done for me. I had almost complete inaction of the bowels, and the best doctors here and in the East told me it would be impossible to relieve this dreadful condition. I had had seven operations, but instead of getting better I grew worse after each one. Another one was absolutely necessary, the doctors said, but this would be only a venture and no hope was given me for the results. I would not listen to this at all, as I knew from former experiences, even when I had had encouragement from my doctors, how fruitless this operation would be.

For three years and a half I had been in a most serious condition, but a Christian Science practitioner began to work for me, and for fifteen days I adhered strictly to the truth, although no outward result appeared in that time. I must say that fears and doubts overtook me many times, and it was only due to the assurances given me of the wondrous workings of divine Love that the mortal fear which seemed to hold me in its grasp was allayed. I cannot express my gratitude when on the sixteenth day the results of the treatment were demonstrated. Since then I have never had cause to complain, as I have been perfectly normal.

I could enumerate many other demonstrations of the power of Truth which have taken place in our home, such as the remarkable cure of a fever which attacked my young son and which was dispelled in three days, but I consider the benefit which I have received personally one of the most beautiful demonstrations I have ever heard of, as from a material point of view my case was hopeless.
