With overflowing gratitude I wish to relate a healing which led me to Christian Science a few years ago, thereby giving me the best and highest that could ever be granted to any person. If my words should aid in strengthening others, who are weary and heavy-laden, on the way to Truth, it would, indeed, make me very happy.

Almost twenty years of my life were ruined by sickness, which brought with it a chain of troubles, despair, and eventually resignation. It was especially on account of so-called Basedow's disease that I sought healing in various hospitals, sanitariums, and health resorts, was treated by a great many physicians, and operated on twice—all, however, without lasting effect. It is true that in the meantime I was able to work for a few years; but I was never really well.

During the last five years that I was ill I had hardly been able to walk, and had to be taken out in an invalid's chair. I spent over two years of this time in a sanitarium, where I was almost entirely confined to my bed. When all the methods of treatment which medical science applies to this disease had been tried in vain, I came across a few Christian Science pamphlets. They did not make much impression on me. I was skeptical, and could not understand how the healings were brought about. But in order to try everything, I wrote to a Christian Science practitioner and asked her if treatment could be considered at all for me, for I lived a long way in the country.
