Through reading the testimonies in the Christian Science periodicals I have many times found help and encouragement, so I am giving my experience in the hope that it may encourage others.

For some years a copy of Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy had occupied space on our book shelves while I endeavored to find health through material means—allopathy, osteopathy, home remedies, and rest cure. During this time I opened the textbook of Christian Science once, but laid it away again while I continued the search for health.

When I had exhausted all available means and like the woman in the Bible "was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse," I was ready to receive the truth; and beginning with the Preface to Science and Health I read every spare minute. As I read I knew beyond a doubt that this was what I had been searching for; and as I continued to read the healing began to be manifested. Within a short time a brace which had been worn for three years was laid off and was never needed again. In the next few months colds and sore throat, which had been chronic since childhood, were overcome through my reading of the textbook.
