It is with deep gratitude and joy that I tell of some of the numerous benefits I have received through Christian Science. Some years ago I was practically an invalid from inflammatory rheumatism. I was unable to walk at times, limped always, and my hands were swollen and useless. After I had tried all material methods of healing and visited places of health cure to no avail, a friend suggested that I try Christian Science. As I was in the deepest despair, seeing before me nothing but a life of invalidism, I decided to take her advice. Some benefit was received instantaneously. The rheumatism did not yield at once, but I became gradually better; and the disease finally disappeared as I became a better woman. Faults of character and ugly traits of disposition and temper gave place to gentleness and contentment; dissatisfaction, fits of depression, emotionalism dissolved before peace and humility; and I was made happy in the discovery of the God who is Love. Severe bilious headaches, which had prostrated me for days at a time, were dispelled; and a tendency to colds and sore throat was overcome completely.

Ever since that first treatment, given by a Christian Science practitioner, our family has depended on Christian Science in every emergency and for every need. My son was healed of a broken toe joint in two treatments, after a surgeon had prescribed splints and crutches for three weeks. He was able to walk at once, and the pain and inflammation were gone in a few hours. Through the comfort of Christian Science I was enabled to withstand and overcome a terrible shock, and the grief occasioned thereby, when a dearly loved one passed on in a very tragic manner.

In January, 1924, my son was knocked down by an automobile and rendered unconscious. The doctors at the hospital to which he was taken said he was internally injured and that there was probably concussion of the brain. When we were notified of his whereabouts we had him sent home in an ambulance, still unconscious, and work was taken up in Christian Science. In eight hours he became conscious and improvement was immediately discernible. Fever abated; swellings and discolorations disappeared; cuts healed; and his left eye, which had received a terrific blow, soon became normal. Our gratitude for this healing is beyond my ability to express.
