In your issue of recent date, under the heading, "Are Faith Cures Supernatural?" your contributor classifies under one head "miraculous cures, the comprehensive therapeutic claims of Christian Science, and M. Coué." The article states that these have all been investigated by physicians, and infers that they all work by suggestion and are helpful only in cases of an hysterical nature. May I be allowed to state on behalf of Christian Science that an impartial investigation of its healing work would convince any one that it does not heal by suggestion, that its healing is not limited to hysterical cases, and also that it is incorrect to classify it with the method of M. Coué or the "healing miracles" of blind faith. Christ Jesus and his followers healed "all manner of disease." This healing work was continued by the early Christians until about the third century; but after that, healing seems practically to have disappeared from the history of the early church. It is this same healing which has been rediscovered by Christian Science; and, as of yore, it does not depend upon suggestion, but follows a correct and scientific understanding of God, who, according to the Scriptures, "healeth all thy diseases."
