When I first came to Christian Science I was in a hopeless condition, having almost every ill that flesh is heir to, including nervous prostration, stomach, and other internal trouble, and eye trouble, and was in such a weakened condition that my father would carry me around like a baby. I was then fifteen years old, was extremely thin, and was so nervous that I could only bear my mother and doctor in the room. The doctors had given me up, saying I would never be well again. I underwent an operation but to no avail. I would pray to God over and over again to make me well as other girls. I knew He could if He only would.

Then my sister told me about Christian Science. My parents said I might try it for three weeks, and if I was not well in three weeks we would not try it any longer. When the three weeks were up I was not any better, but the good seed was planted and I knew I could be healed by Christian Science. I began to have courage, but grew worse when the treatments were stopped, and drifted along for about three months; then I persuaded my parents to let me try Christian Science again. They agreed, but not until they thought I was going to die. I took treatments for one whole summer, and gradually grew strong and well and am now at normal weight. My healing has been slow, but I do not know what nervous prostration is any more.

My eldest child when two years old had a very bad spell of stomach trouble, while teething, and pronounced dying, but Christian Science treatmets were given and in half an hour she asked for food; in three hours every bit of the fever was gone and she was quietly sleeping.
