Nine years ago I did not know anything of the power of Truth. At this time I was suffering from terrible pain in the eyes. I had been wearing glasses for more than seven years, but could not seem to get lenses to fit me and many changes had to be made. I was advised that an operation was the only thing that would give me relief, but to that I refused to consent. I knew a man who had the book "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy and asked him to let me take it. I started to read with my glasses on, but could not see, so took them off and tried without them. To my surprise I was able to read for an hour without glasses, and I have not had to wear them since.

I was also suffering from a serious growth of fifteen years' standing. I got no better under medical treatment, and the doctors all said I must have an operation, otherwise I would never get well; but to this I would not consent. A lady who came to live with me then asked me why I did not try Christian Science, and her question brought to my mind the healing of my eyes, to which I had not given much thought. I immediately bought Science and Health and began to study it in earnest, and during my study this ailment disappeared. Bowel trouble, from which I had suffered for more than twenty years, was also overcome during this study, and headache and a wart on my finger disappeared.
