At the end of December, 1930, I was suddenly taken ill

Ernst Ehemann with contributions from Mariechen Ehemann

At the end of December, 1930, I was suddenly taken ill. A doctor who was promptly called diagnosed a bleeding ulcer of the stomach. I was taken to a hospital at one and my whole body was packed in ice. It was hoped that the illness might be coped with through diet and starvation. After six weeks I was allowed to leave the hospital, but with the medical advice that I should diet for years. However, fear, the worst element of any illness, did not leave me, and a year and a half later the same troubles reappeared. I was greatly disheartened and discouraged at the prospect of going to the hospital again, perhaps this time for an operation. In this state of despair I found Christian Science. After the first treatment I felt more comfortable, and in a short time I was healed.

Then I bought the Christian Science textbook, in order to learn more of this great truth. The Wednesday evening testimony meetings give me much inspiration and joy; and I am grateful to have found Christian Science. I am grateful also to the practitioner who explained everything to me so lovingly, thus smoothing for me the way of Truth.

At the birth of our child, Christian Science was of assistance. Everything took place normally and harmoniously, without pain. For this I am sincerely grateful. When my wife later contracted a case of inflammation of the breast, healing took place after a single treatment. The doctor had already made incisions and desired to operate the following day without fail. He was very much surprised that he could find no further difficulty at that time.
