As a young child I was very delicate and suffered from almost every illness possible, particularly from a weak throat and chest, which in later years turned to bronchial asthma. The doctor gave me no hope and stated that this condition would never leave me.
When I was about fourteen, and very thin and miserable looking, my mother took up the study of Christian Science and I was given treatment. Although I began at once to get relief when the attacks came, the complete healing did not occur for several years, by which time I had gained some understanding of Truth and was able to help myself a little. Even then the appearance of delicacy still remained; but with continued study and the help of practitioners all signs of ill health left me, and I now look so different that many people do not recognize me, and are amazed at the change in my appearance. Although I had this healing I was so afraid that I could not bear to hear the word "asthma" mentioned, and I never spoke of it myself; but I am glad to say that now I have no fear of it, having proved its nothingness.
I am grateful to have learned in Christian Science that, no matter what the problem, it can be met if we rely entirely on God, the Giver of all good. I have proved this truth so often, and have had so many healings of different complaints, that I can never cease to be grateful to Mrs. Eddy for giving us this wonderful teaching for our everyday lives.
