Nearly thirty years ago, when theologians could not give me peace and physicians could give neither hope nor relief, Christian Science was brought to my notice. Although I was then a very young woman, life was such a heavy burden that I daily prayed to die. I had become morbid from much suffering. Physicians said I could never do much work, either mental or physical, and could live only by very tender care, and it would be years before I would be even comfortable.

Just through reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy I was cured of intestinal indigestion, dyspepsia, rheumatism, a nervous trouble of seven years' standing, and the need of glasses which I had worn for eight years. I also experienced painless childbirth. A case of pleurisy was overcome in twenty minutes. Once I had double pneumonia and a weak heart. Three weeks from the day I was taken ill, I traveled one hundred miles to my home and began light housekeeping. I felt so happy and rested that it seemed as if I had not been ill, but had just had a vacation.

A case of influenza was healed in three days. On the fourth day I did housework, comfortably and happily, till midnight. When my daughter was an infant she was healed of whooping cough in two weeks. She coughed only a little and that at night. A case of uremic poisoning was healed in three days. These are only a few of our many blessings. There have been other demonstrations that have taken time, study, and growth before completion.
