One rainy morning I slipped on a winding marble stairway, striking and cutting my head on the sharp edge of the bottom step. This angel thought from Science and Health came to my rescue (p. 393): "Your body would suffer no more from tension or wounds than the trunk of a tree which you gash or the electric wire which you stretch, were it not for mortal mind." In a few minutes faintness and bleeding stopped, and I was able to do the work awaiting me. Afterwards I called on a friend to wash the matted hair, and she said that the cut had closed up perfectly.
