Two years ago I was suffering from a disease known as eczema of the scalp, and I thought that it was making me irritable. I visited a Christian Science practitioner and asked for treatment. When I realized that it was not the disease that was causing the irritability of temper, but that it was the irritable thinking that was causing the disease, I was healed. In a little over a week a growth on my head the size of a pigeon's egg had completely disappeared.

I had had this disease—eczema—before, over thirty years ago, and at that time used a remedy prescribed for me by a physician. It took six months to get rid of the trouble then. I had often wondered what I would do if ever it came back and I did not have this remedy at hand. Well, it did come back; but no material remedy was used. The healing was rapid. The symptoms lasted only three weeks, as against six months under materia medica. Now I am very happy to relate that not only is the disease cured, but that the irritability of thought has vanished also.

This is proof to me, and one for which I am very grateful, that as our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, has written in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 169): "All disease is cured by divine Mind. There can be no healing except by this Mind, however much we trust a drug or any other means towards which human faith or endeavor is directed."
