For some years I was subject to the disease called quinsy

Lucy Genevieve Onderdonk

For some years I was subject to the disease called quinsy. It grew to be a positive dread in our household, because of the intense suffering it entailed, the careful, constant nursing, and the long period of convalescence. Often it was necessary that the swelling be lanced; and for several hours before this was done, the discomfort would seem almost unbearable. It was necessary that I be held an upright position, because I could not breathe while reclining and was too weak to sit alone. Then came the depleted, rebuilding period—sometimes running into months.

In February of this year I suffered a return of this trouble. Immediately a Christian Science practitioner was called (this was on Sunday); and although the symptoms took the usual course they did so painlessly, except when I would speak or swallow. There was practically no temperature; and I required no nursing. The following Sunday morning the swelling broke, naturally and without pain. At ten o'clock I arose, dressed, took dinner at one o'clock, and received friends in the afternoon and evening. Monday, I walked some blocks; Tuesday, I returned to the office (having been absent only since the previous Wednesday); and on Wednesday was working in the fields. There was no period of convalescence; and I am deeply grateful for this demonstration.—(Miss) Lucy Genevieve Onderdonk, Binghamton, N. Y.
