It is with sincere gratitude I send this testimony, trusting it may help some one. A little more than five years ago, life promised me only suffering and poverty. I had been under the care of physicians intermittently for nine months, suffering from intercostal neuralgia as well as neuralgia of the stomach and bowels. The physicians, though most kind and patient, were not able to afford me any relief. My mental condition was even worse than the physical, for I was filled with fear and saw no hope for the future.

Some of my friends suggested that I try Christian Science. I knew little of it, except as I had heard it ridiculed by scoffers, and thought it a religion for fanatics. One night while suffering from an unusually acute attack, and knowing the physicians afforded no relief, I seemed to hear a voice repeate over and over again, "Try Christian Science," and I asked to have a practitioner called. The practitioner arrived in a short time, and in about an hour I was asleep.

I awakened next morning to what seemed a new world. The erroneous mental condition had been destroyed, and I was freed from pain. There were recurrences of the neuralgic condition, which yielded more slowly; but it was always met and destroyed, with a very few exceptions, by my own understanding. Since this time Christian Science has been our only physician, my husband, son, and myself relying wholly on the healing power of the ever present Christ.
