I am very thankful for the healings we have had through Christian Science. When I first heard of it I was certainly in need of help, for I seemed to have many diseases. Stomach trouble, liver complaint, nervousness, constipation, and headache, which I had most of the time, have been healed. I had to take medicine every night, and if I failed I would get up the next morning with a headache. We had several different doctors prescribe for me and I had taken all kinds of patent medicine without much help, and I had given up all hope of ever being any better by taking medicine. I could not eat anything without distress, not even bread and milk.

A friend sent my sister some Sentinels as she had been ill for several years. She wanted to try Christian Science and began to read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and also had a few treatments. In a short time she was feeling so well she wanted me to try it. I also bought Science and Health and began reading. I had a heavy cold on my lungs and coughed excessively. I had Christian Science treatment and in six weeks I was feeling well, was able to eat anything, and could do more work than I had for ten years. In a few treatments my baby was healed of croup. Many ills have been overcome for our five children, one of which I would like to mention.

Our young son began complaining one Sunday about stiffness in his back. I did not write for treatments for a day or so, thinking that through my understanding it would be overcome. In two days he could not walk or move himself on account of swelling and inflammation in his knees and ankles. He cried and fretted and would not allow them to be touched. On Thursday I sent a note to my sister, which she said expressed fear. She came over that evening and wanted me to go and see the Scientists who was treating him. I went the next morning and she helped me to overcome fear. That evening when I got home the boy was much better. The next morning he waled with the aid of two sticks, into the front room, and before night was walking all around the place. He has had no trouble since. The disease was supposed to be inflammatory rheumatism. I am very grateful for the literature. I am grateful to God, the giver of all good, and to Mrs. Eddy, for the truth that makes us free, and also to the practitioner who has helped us so lovingly.—(Mrs.) Rebecca Elliott, White Salmon, Wash.
