Some years ago I had an attack of measles, followed immediately by another and what is considered a very dangerous form of this disease. After a long illness, during which life was despaired of, a recovery was apparently effected through the loving and faithful service of physicians and nurses. This illness, however, according to the medical belief in aftereffects, left a terrible skin disease. Physicians in various parts of this state and one from the East expressed their inability to aid me. Many remedies were tried, but they were without avail.

Christian Science was then resorted to, and before the end of three weeks' treatment, perfect healing was realized, after seventeen months of torment and experimentation with material agencies. The condition of the feet became so malignant at one time, while under medical treatment, that amputation was proposed as the means of preserving life; yet under Christian Science treatment the recovery was so complete that not an hour has been spent in bed owing to pain and swelling in these members, whereas from two to five days at one time would be necessary under former treatment.

Not only has Christian Science been a physical benefactor, but a spiritual regenerator as well, revealing God, the Principle of the universe, as infinite Love. Having been a member of an orthodox church (during which time much good was assimilated), the demonstrable knowledge of a divine Principle that is wholly good, and of man as God's image and likeness, is worth far more than the physical healing, the latter being merely the proof of the former.
