It is with a heart full of gratitude that I send this testimony of God's loving-kindness to me. A Christian Science practitioner was asked to treat me only when other means had failed to relieve my mental distress in the darkest hour of my life. Discord, turmoil, and limitation seemed to rule in my home, and I had become so wearied with it all that finally self-destruction was contemplated; but what I had read in some Christian Science literature seemed to hold me back from such a fate, and I finally asked for help.

After three or four treatments there came into our home boundless peace, joy, and love. No book ever made such an impression upon me spiritually as did Science and Health, which the practitioner told me to get at my earliest opportunity. Through the reading of it my eyes were healed, although they were in such a condition that an oculist had advised treatment for my nerves before he would fit my eyes with glasses.

I began early to apply my understanding of God in numerous ways, with gratifying results, and sometimes the healing was instantaneous. Croup, fevers, stomach troubles, cuts, bruises, and other ills have been overcome. My year old baby fell on a hot stove and was severely burned on the face and one hand, but the pain ceased in half an hour after treatment was asked for, and the burns healed without leaving a scar. An attack of ptomaine poisoning was overcome even when death was thought to be near, and I was enabled to do all my work the next day. At the time my last child was born there were sores on my legs that the physician said were liable to infection, but they caused no trouble and were healed with Christian Science treatment.
