Several years ago I experienced mental trouble

Albert Michel

Several years ago I experienced mental trouble. This induced me to look for something to free me. At that time my attention was drawn to the Coué method of suggestion. I applied its formulas daily in the morning and evening. At times I gained relief, but instead of getting better, as a formula concluded, I got worse and worse. Increasing melancholy made my life unbearable.

In this great mental distress I was led to Christian Science. I shall never forget the day I called upon a practitioner. Her great, sympathetic patience and her assurance that I could be free again gave me new courage and strength. I procured the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and studied it thoroughly. A mental struggle began in me that often brought me almost to despair. But through the help of the practitioner and through my own study I gradually became free from the melancholy.
