With a heart full of gratitude to God I testify to the wonderful healing power of Christian Science. Nearly seven years ago, when suffering from a nervous breakdown in its worst form, I began the study of Christian Science. I had been told by my physician and nurse that these breakdowns would occur every few years, and realized that I must try something different. On the advice of my mother, who had been healed of neuritis through Christian Science a few years previous, I discharged the doctor and nurse and called for help in Science. My healing was very slow, as there were many wrong thoughts to be overcome; but my condition improved from the first, and through the loving help of practitioners and friends I was entirely healed.

An organic trouble which physicians said only an operation could relieve disappeared, also severe headaches, a continuous pain in my right side, and many minor ailments; but I am most grateful for the spiritual uplift, which has changed my entire viewpoint of life. Where once material pleasures constituted my chief delight, I find now that I am happiest when trying to conform my actions and thinking to the teachings of our text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy. I feel I can show my gratitude only by putting this truth into daily practice.
