I came to Christian Science for something with which to sustain my life. I had spent twelve years in seeking help from climate, travel, and mineral springs, on account of throat and lung trouble. My voice was so impaired at times that I had no means of communication except by signs or writing. While these conditions grew somewhat better at times, other complications set in, until at length the physician pronounced my case paralysis of stomach and bowels.

Having spent most of the time at Colorado Springs, the physician thought that I had better go to a lower altitude, which I did. In a few months, however, I grew worse, and the physician there said the altitude was too low and the sun too hot. It being the first of June, I went to noted mineral springs in the mountains and stayed two months; then I returned to Colorado Springs greatly discouraged. My former physician said I need not expect to live much longer, as every kind of medicine had been used for me that was known to medical history; that the only thing I could do was to stay in the mountains during the summer, and perhaps I might live six months.
