Christian Science came to my rescue when I had almost given up hope that I should ever be able to overcome the excessive use of intoxicating liquors. For over fifteen years I had been a slave to the drink habit, the last five years of which were spent in frequently getting drunk; and after these sprees I would often have delirium tremens. I always had a great sense of remorse after each spree. In 1917, while in a state of intoxication, I fell and hurt myself, and suffered from the heavy loss of blood. At this time, Christian Science treatment was asked for; and I was healed of the drink habit in one treatment. This healing was permanent and complete; and while I have been unavoidably thrown where liquors were being used quite freely, I have had no desire to return to the habit.

Since then I have been healed of poisoned eye, acute indigestion, the use of tobacco in all forms, Spanish influenza, barbers' itch, bleeding piles, and a number of other ailments. While I am very grateful for these healings, I am much more grateful for the spiritual regeneration and the mental uplift that has come and is continually coming to me through reading the Bible in the light thrown upon it by our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. I am also grateful for all the channels that Mrs. Eddy has so wisely provided for all who wish to avail themselves of permanent good. I have had the privilege of class instruction, and have a demonstrable understanding of what God is, what man is, and their relationship to each other. I am giving this testimony in the hope that it may help others.—Clyde Pruitt, Indianapolis, Ind.
