In February, 1897, I turned to Christian Science for physical healing. I knew not what it was, nor did I care. My one thought was, "I wish I could die!" I had been in bed for four years with what was termed a nervous breakdown. My suffering was intense. When I took to my bed I weighed one hundred and forty-five pounds. At the end of four years my weight was less than eighty pounds. Many physicians had pronounced my case incurable.

At this time a dear friend brought the truth to my mother, saying: "I don't know much about it, but I have heard of its making wonderful cures. I wish you daughter could take it up." Mother begged me to do so. To please her I wrote to a practitioner. I received an immediate reply stating that she would begin treatment at once. She asked me to realize as best I could that God could and would heal me. Very soon my health began to improve, and the following September I was able to resume my duties as a teacher. The faithfull practitioner went on with her work until February, 1898, when I called myself well. I continued teaching for thirty-four years. In all those years I was away from duty only three days, at the passing of my father.

I am grateful not only for this wonderful healing, but for many other healings; for the loving practitioners; and especially grateful for beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, whose teachings brought the Bible into my life; for class instruction; and for membership in The Mother Church and a Christian Science Society. I am truly grateful that I can say, God has been my only physician, and Christian Science my only medicine, for thirty-nine years. I have proved both absolutely necessary to a harmonious existence. Words are inadequate to express my gratitude.
