Gratitude to Christian Science prompts me to relate the following in regard to blessings I have received. A serious attack of inflammation of the kidneys held me in bondage from the autumn of 1926 until the late autumn of 1927. According to the doctor's opinion I was healed of this complaint in November, 1926; but the severe pains returned in a few weeks, and manifested themselves again and again at shorter intervals.

This condition continued until September, 1927, when, in order to rid myself of it, I again resorted to medical treatment. After ten days of observation and examinations the doctor told me that one kidney was very much diseased. He said that I might be healed by going to a health resort in the mountains for several months or by having the diseased kidney removed through an operation; however, he could not not guarantee that the former method would prove successful. Since I had already undergone three operations and had been obliged to spend about eight months in a hospital, I had not the slightest desire to undergo another operation.
