Early in October, 1919, I was taken with a dull, heavy pain in the upper portion of my bowels. I went home from my office and had my wife call a physician, who, after several days' treatment, without relief, called in another doctor for consultation, at the conclusion of which they decided that all that they knew of had been done for me and that I could not live. My wife telegraphed for our relatives, and among those who came was a Christian Scientist. I asked her to take my case, which she did, and I soon experienced relief and was finally healed; also in a week or so I perceived that I had lost the appetite for tobacco. Then again in a few days I noticed that a rupture I had been troubled with for seven years was healed, and that I had no further use for a truss. Other discordant conditions have been destroyed, and I am now feeling better than I have for twenty-five years, not only physically, but mentally and spiritually.
I bought a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and subscribed for The Christian Science Journal, and I am certainly having a time of rejoicing. I am grateful for this victory of truth over error. My recovery has served to awaken others to the truth, and my desire is to help some weary traveler who is looking for something better than he has, and while I rejoice because of the blessings I have received, I want others to rejoice with me.
