I was healed of chronic peritonitis through reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures"...

I was healed of chronic peritonitis through reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy. The Science literature was brought to me when there was no hope of recovery. I had undergone three major operations with only temporary relief. The last operation failed to give even that, and the attending physician said he could do no more. My diet at that time was rice water, and for seven years I had been able to eat very few things. There was no action of the bowels, and the only relief obtained was by washing them out. In three weeks I had proved the truths of Christian Science so that I ate anything the rest of the family had, and walked up-town a long distance to the Christian Science service. Inside of six months I did the housework for a family of four. I had never been able to do this, as my sickness dated back to the time I was fourteen years old. It is now eight years since my healing, and all conditions of inharmony have been overcome very quickly. I have not been confined to my bed more than a day; whereas before my healing in Christian Science I would be seriously ill for months every year.

My prayer is that I may strive to follow our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, in every way. I am very grateful for the spiritual uplift her teachings have brought into my life.
