In deep gratitude I desire to give a testimony of my healing.

Over three years ago, I experienced gradually a stiffening and swelling of the joints which was also very painful, and finally I became so crippled that I was unable to walk without assistance and much pain. My husband was a druggist, and we had living quarters in the rear of the store building, which had a cement floor. A doctor and others said that the cement floor was the cause of my condition, and that I would have to get away from the store and off the cement floor. By some it was said to be inflammatory rheumatism, and it was also more specifically diagnosed as arthritis by a physician who had had much experience with such ailments. At last I was unable to do any work, and became very much depressed at my seeming inactivity and uselessness. At my husband's suggestion and with his help, we wrote to ask a Christian Science friend to accompany me to a southwestern city, where I immediately asked a practitioner for help.

Soon I was able to get around and walk, and also to climb stairs without aid. How happy I was to recover from arthritis! I am most grateful to say that I have fully recovered, and there is no trace of enlarged joints or pain. I did not take any medicine at any time. I knew there was a more efficient healing power than medicine and One who heals all diseases if we will but search and find Him.
