So much of real joy and perfect health have come to me since I have been depending entirely on Christian Science, that I send this testimony with deepest gratitude to God, to Mrs. Eddy, to the practitioners for all the loving help received, and for the literature, which is indeed food for the hungry, for which wise provision Christian Scientists can never be grateful enough to our Leader.

For many years I had suffered from anæmia with all the attendant miseries, such as headaches, depression, weakness, and constipation. For three years I was treated by specialists, and for months at a time I had injections of various medicines but without any lasting benefit. I had been, to a certain extent, interested in Christian Science for four years, but I was foolishly trying to serve both God and mammon and would not make a choice. The day came two years ago, however, when I was in bed and too ill to go to the specialist, so I made up my mind to put all my faith in Christian Science, and asked for help from a practitioner. I received two treatments and from that day I count myself free and healed from all the discordant conditions that seemed so real to me—free, both mentally and physically, but the spiritual uplift is by far the greater healing.

I would also like to tell how Christian Science helped in healing a favorite little dog. The animal was one day apparently in great pain, which the veterinary surgeon said was caused by an abscess, which would need to be lanced the next day. Suddenly I remembered that he could, of course, be helped at once in Christian Science. I was not advanced enough in understanding myself to treat him but telephoned for help from a practitioner, who immediately and lovingly gave the treatment. At once the dog was quiet, and in less than an hour I knew the demonstration was made. The veterinary surgeon came the next morning to take the dog away, but I told him there was nothing to do; the dog was well. He examined him and exclaimed, "What a remarkable thing! there is nothing to be seen; the place is quite healed." I mention this case, as it may interest and help others who own animals.
