Etha A. Townsend

For many years Christian Science has been my only physician, and I have found it sufficient to meet my every need when I have turned to it wholeheartedly for help.

I came into this Science for physical healing after my case had been pronounced incurable and my parents had been told that I had a very short time to live. My healing was not instantaneous, but from the first there was never a doubt in my mind that it would be complete and permanent. I have been healed of so many discords that it would be impossible to enumerate them all. Among the physical healings were influenza, double pneumonia, and chronic sick headaches. The healing of influenza was accomplished in a reasonably short time, and I experienced none of the aftereffects, that are so commonly associated with that trouble. I was absent from my work but one day because of pneumonia.

For years I suffered from chronic sick headaches. I had Christian Science help, but for a time I got only temporary relief. Finally one of these attacks came upon me when I was taking a trip through a western state. I called a Christian Science practitioner and told her my difficulty. She listened patiently and then told me that so long as I believed that God's perfect image and likeness could suffer from attacks of headache, I would he liable to a return of this difficulty. Needless to say, when this error in my thinking was revealed to me, I received m healing, which has been permanent.
