I am very grateful for this opportunity of acknowledging even a small part of my indebtedness to Christian Science.

Until 1928 I had suffered for many years from a gastric ulcer, as well as from what not less than two score of doctors had diagnosed as a very serious disease of the heart. In 1927 the doctors came to the conclusion that owing to the condition of my heart, an otherwise necessary abdominal operation was inadvisable. They held out scant hope of my living much longer and prescribed a very attenuated diet and regular enemas containing a drug then procurable only in Germany.

In 1928 I was led to take up the study of Christian Science. I then began earnestly to study for the purpose of helping one very dear to me. The practitioner who was working for her asked me to read with her daily the Lesson-Sermon from the Christian Science Quarterly. From that time my own health began to mend, and after a few months I awoke to the fact that I no longer needed the prescribed medical treatment, although I had not thought of my study in connection with my own health. I was soon enjoying normal physical activities.
