I wish to express gratitude for Christian Science and for the many healings I have received. Cross-eye and astigmatism were healed just by my reading Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. These conditions were diagnosed some years ago, and I was told by an eye specialist that my right eye was so weak that I was not using it. About four years ago I had to have an eye examination, and the doctor asked me if I had had an operation for straightening my eye. I said that I had not. I was happy to hear him say, "Your eyes are perfectly straight, and you see equally well with both eyes." I then told him that Christian Science had healed me. He said: "You do not have to feel reluctant about telling me of your religion. My mother and my wife are both students of Christian Science."

I also wish to tell of an instance of mental surgery. One evening I suffered severe pain in the back and abdomen. I tried to declare the truth for myself, but I became alarmed; so a practitioner was called. After speaking with her on the telephone, I lay down and went to sleep. When I awakened, the pain was much less severe. I had further treatment from the practitioner for three days, and then I was able to work prayerfully for myself.

I studied diligently for days. The pain lessened, but it still persisted. It had localized in the region near my appendix. Previous to my coming into Christian Science, I had been a medical nurse for over twenty-five years, and suggestions of diseases I had seen now crowded my consciousness. I knew that I had to eradicate all sense of fear.
