I should like to express my gratitude through our periodicals for all that Christian Science has done for me.

Previous to 1920 I had suffered from infancy with anæmia and a weak throat, which finally developed into tubercular glands. After undergoing every known treatment for that disease, I found Christian Science when I was facing my seventh operation. I knew nothing about this Science until "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy was put into my hand with the request that I read it. I did so, and at the end of two weeks, although I had not finished the book, I suddenly found that I was healed of a very painful eruption on my limbs which I had had for two years continually, due to anæmia, and which the doctors had been unable to relieve. Indigestion, also, had vanished, and I ate everything set before me. I had forgotten to put on my glasses during these two weeks and I have never worn them since, although an oculist had told me five years previously that I should always have to wear them for close work; and the swelling in the neck was greatly reduced. All this seemed so wonderful to me that I decided to give up medical treatment and rely entirely on Christian Science. I went to a practitioner for help and in six weeks I was working, although I had been unable to work for more than a year. Eventually the throat condition was completely healed.

About a year later I was instantaneously healed of severe seasickness in midocean. I was traveling alone, so was forced to do my own mental work and was greatly encouraged at this healing, for it was so complete. Since then I have been healed of kidney trouble. This was a very slow healing, taking eight or nine years for its completion. Some years ago, while I was curling my hair, the electric tongs went into my left eye. Pain and fear were intense until a practitioner began to work for me, and in three absent treatments the eye was entirely healed.
