Mary C. Jerman

I wish to make an acknowledgment of my healing, now almost ten years ago, of chronic stomach and intestinal trouble followed by a nervous breakdown. This condition had been predicted by physicians as the consequence of literal starvation for many years.

When a physical and mental wreck, I turned to Christian Science and asked for help, which was graciously given me. I was completely cured, and can eat anything set before me. Since then I have witnessed and experienced many healings in Christian Science, the most remarkable being that of a fractured elbow, with no other help than the study of the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures."

One day in August, 1910, while stretching a rope over my head it broke, and I was thrown from a platform on which I was standing, falling on my arm. When I arose to my feet the arm hung from the shoulder, useless. The first day I put my arm in a sling, but I seemed to see what Paul describes as "another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind," so I took the bandage off, and by the night of the second day, which was Wednesday, I could raise it considerably. In two weeks I carried food to my mouth, and in three, when I testified for very joy and gratitude in our church, I raised the arm above my head in proof of my healing. The arm is now in every way as normal as the other.
