[Original testimony in German]

With a heart filled with gratitude I wish to testify to a wonderful healing received through Christian Science.

In May, 1928, I was taken suddenly ill. I was attacked with fever and severe pains in my body. The doctor who was called immediately diagnosed spasms of the stomach. The next time he called he said that it was inflammation of the appendix, or appendicitis. I could not be operated upon, as I was also suffering from a complete nervous breakdown. When I left my bed a few weeks later I had lost thirty pounds. My condition was desperate. I could not work and could hardly walk because of weakness. The doctor sent me to a hospital in another town. There I was X-rayed and the usual examinations were made. A few days later the doctor said I could go home at once and my family doctor would tell me the details. He further told me that I had only short time to live. To calm me temporarily he sent me to a watering place. There, too, the doctors replied to my questions merely with a shrug of the shoulders. I was again attacked with appendicitis while there and asked to be operated on, but was told that I could not live through an operation. When the pain had somewhat abated, I went home with less hope than ever.
