This testimony is given in deep gratitude for the proof of the power of Truth as revealed in Christian Science. I was born with a peculiar repulsion to food; it would be impossible to describe what I suffered in this way. I was ravenously hungry, yet the odor of food only added to the suffering, as an attempt to eat would produce a feeling of nausea which would prevent my doing so. I gave up my position in the middle of December, 1914, owing to a physical breakdown, and asked for help in Christian Science. Thirteen days later I suddenly realized that I was free, and from that hour I have been able to eat heartily of everything set before me without experiencing any trouble, and that after practically a lifetime of fasting.

I took up the study of Christian Science in August, 1906, and since then have experienced the instantaneous healing of a sprained wrist and a badly scalded leg. Besides this, glasses have been laid aside. All these proofs encouraged me to hold on. Before my healing I could hardly walk, but now I can skate, as well as play baseball and tennis. Can any one wonder that I am thankful to God, and grateful to Mrs. Eddy for her discovery, which has made the healing power of divine Love, as taught by Christ Jesus, available now as it was when that other boy who was lame from his birth was released over nineteen hundred years ago? I can recommend Christian Science as a cure for every human ill.
