Christian Science was presented to me by a sister after she had an instantaneous healing of tuberculosis. I had been quite ill with typhoid fever, and the doctor informed me that if I did not take exceptionally good care of myself I would have consumption. I doctored with many of the leading physicians in this city, and took serum treatments for two years; but in spite of this I would catch cold from the least exposure, even in the summer. I had lost so much time from work that I found it difficult to get a job. Besides this, the worry over my sister had made me a nervous wreck. Because of the wonderful change in her after her healing I decided to try Christian Science. I had just opened up a soft drink place and was going to do some bootlegging, but as I began to read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, I decided to dispose of the place and get a job. I did not know where to find it, but for the first time in my life I did not seem to fear the future. A few days later I secured a job as night watchman for a large corporation. That was over fifteen years ago, in November 1919, and in all this time I have lost less than one week's work on account of sickness; also, during the entire time I have worked twelve and fifteen hours a night, I have received several promotions and increases in salary, and at the present time I have the night supervision of the entire plant, where I have many opportunities of seeing the truth as taught in Christian Science demonstrated.

I had been interested in this Science for a number of years when all the symptoms of tuberculosis appeared. I did not consult a physician, but had Christian Science treatment. The healing was slow, and many times I became discouraged, mortal mind even suggesting that I give up the study of Science. Other symptoms developed, such as heart trouble, rheumatism, constipation, and sick headaches; but each one of these erroneous conditions was overcome through the help of a Christian Science practitioner. Eventually I was entirely healed.
