Carbuncle removed by mental surgery. Infection healed

Grace M. Betrix

I have waited too long to express my gratitude for Christian Science and to our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for giving the world the blessing we have in Christian Science.

There are two outstanding healings in my thought. One, the healing of a carbuncle on the back of my neck, which would have undoubtedly necessitated an operation if the medical profession had taken care of it. A medical doctor, who knew I had turned to Christian Science, noticed the scar a few years later and remarked, "I could not have made a neater incision myself." I feel that the healing made me take a definite stand for Christian Science. Prior to that time I had read the periodicals and attended services, but I was still a member of an orthodox church. After this healing I attended a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, regularly and in a short time became a member; in due course I also became a member of The Mother Church.

The other healing was of an infected thumb. The nail and skin had become discolored, and the hand was swollen well above the wrist. I can truly say that I experienced no severe pain and went about my household duties as usual. One morning the old skin and nail fell off, and there was normal white skin and in time a new nail.
