Testimony of Healing November 8, 1941 Issue

Christian Science came to me over twenty-five years ago...

Izeyl M. Pettibone with contributions from Chauncey D. Pettibone

Christian Science came to me over twenty-five years ago through the healing of my mother, who at that time was given up by physicians. Her family doctor told her that the only thing left for him to recommend was Christian Science. Through this Science she was healed of many ills within six months.

At the same time I accepted and began to study Christian Science. Since my early childhood I had been troubled by severe sore throats. When I was ten my tonsils were entirely removed, but after that the attacks were much more serious. When I was eighteen, I was told that I should also have adenoids removed, but I refused, because since the first operation had been unsuccessful I had no faith in another. I suffered from two or three attacks of quinsy each year. After I had studied Christian Science for two years, I had the worst attack of all. Both sides of my throat were affected, and my jaws were locked for three days, but at the end of the fifth day I was healed through absent treatment. Since then I have had only one slight attack, which was healed in one day.

About twelve years ago, while we were coming home from a northern city, a car with a drunken driver ran into our automobiel head-on. I was thrown against the windshield, which cut my eyelid and split the bone over my eye. One knee was also badly cut. It was necessary to have seven stitches taken in my eyelid, but in ten days I was driving a car again, having no fear, and feeling no resentment toward the driver who had caused the accident. I have no perceptible scars, the eyebrow has grown together, and there is only a tiny dent in the bone, and that is gradually disappearing.
