From my childhood one severe illness had followed another, although my parents employed the best physicians of various schools and for many years made every effort in a medical way to bring me back to health. Covering a period of twelve years, and before I was thirty years of age, I had undergone five serious operations, each one said to be a last resort to save my life.

When Christian Science was brought to my attention I was in a serious condition and about to undergo another operation in a few days. My husband, who had been ill for seven years, was also told by his physicians that only an operation could restore him to health. We however both decided to try Christian Science and prove for ourselves what it would do for us. My husband commenced treatment about a week before I did and was so greatly benefited that I also began to take treatment. We were both restored to health and strength and are very grateful that we were saved from the operations said to be necessary.

I was cured in Christian Science of a severe chronic form of stomach and bowel trouble, painful and lasting headaches, trouble with my back and some minor ailments, besides an incapacitating and extreme nervousness. I had been under heroic medical treatment continually for over two years to bring relief; had taken medicine nearly every day of my life for bowel trouble; but since my first treatment I have never taken any (now over four years), and have eaten whatever I wished without the slightest trouble; in fact all my troubles have left me and I am free.
