In October, 1919, while at my work in the Pennsylvania Railroad repair shops, my partner accidentally struck me a severe blow on the base of the skull with a heavy sledge, weighing about ten pounds, which knocked me a distance of six feet. I was picked up unconscious and taken to the company's doctor. When I regained consciousness I asked to be taken home to my mother. She was away at the time and did not know I was home for more than an hour. When she found me she immediately started to know the truth for me, while she washed my head, and when she finished I got up and walked to my room. Then mother thought best to call a practitioner. This dear friend came and lovingly worked for me, staying in our home for about an hour. When she left I got up, dressed, and was about the house all the afternoon and evening. I slept well all night, and next morning took my wheel and attended to some business in the city. The specialists from the hospital and the company's doctor called to see me while I was away and were very much surprised not to find me at home and prostrated. When mother told them I was on my wheel they said, "Well, we have made a mistake, because the man we are looking for had a most severely fractured skull." Mother told them I was that man and worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad, but that I was all right now. That did not satisfy them, so they sent another physician; but as I had not returned when he arrived, mother told him the same thing. I went to the shops the next morning, but they would not let me work. This was Saturday, and Monday I went to work with no trace of the accident, nor have I ever felt any further effect from it. It will soon be a year since it happened. I am therefore most grateful for Christian Science and for all it has done for me. I am also very grateful to the practitioner for her loving work and kindness.
