Although I am a beginner in Christian Science, nevertheless I have had three healings which have been accomplished through the help of a practitioner. The first was one of tonsillitis, which attacked me in the early hours of the morning, and which soon became almost unbearable, both my tonsils being so swollen I could hardly swallow. Through the help of a practitioner the pain soon disappeared and I could enjoy solid food.

The second healing was that of an abscess in the nose. This condition started on a Friday, and with the week end close at hand I tried to heal the condition myself, but without success. By Monday morning my nose was so inflamed that I called a practitioner and asked her to help me, telling her that everyone with whom I came in contact passed some remark about it. She said she would work for my protection, and, although I went about my business as usual, no one remarked about it. By Tuesday night no trace of the trouble was apparent. It did not disappear as a result of discharge but just went into its native nothingness.

My third healing was that of the smoking, drinking, and swearing habits, to which I had been a slave for over twenty years. The drinking habit was not hard to overcome, as I drank only to be sociable; but with smoking it was different, because I thought I enjoyed this, as was apparent from my smoking thirty to forty cigarettes a day, with about four or five before breakfast.
