Several years ago, when I was a student in college, I experienced what is called a nervous breakdown. I had grown up in Christian Science, and turned to it for help. For about a week conditions grew worse. I became weaker, and bodily functions stopped almost entirely.

At this time the way was opened for me to be admitted to the Christian Science Benevolent Association Sanatorium in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, and treatment was taken up by a local practitioner. Although the aggravated physical symptoms did not yield at once, from the very moment I entered the building I felt an influx of spiritual light, and a measure of that "peace ... which passeth all understanding." I was carried in on a stretcher, too weak to walk. Four weeks later I was able to be up and about the buildings, going to the main dining room for my meals. General improvement was steady, and in all the years that have passed I have had no recurrence of this inharmonious condition.
