Many years ago I was a public...
Many years ago I was a public school teacher for several years, and during that time I was under a doctor's care for nervous and functional difficulties. Finally the doctor advised me to go to a sanatorium and take a water cure, which I did at the close of the school year. I was given the prescribed treatment—baths, massages, and electrical treatment.
I expected to return home in September and resume teaching. However, instead of being able to return I was much worse, so much so that in November I sent for my father to take me home. For about five years I continued to have medical treatment but with no results. Then my mother, while away from home, attended some Wednesday evening testimony meetings in a branch Church of Christ, Scientist. When she came home she told me there was no need for me to be in such a nervous and depressed condition and that Christian Science could help me.
We went to visit a Christian Science practitioner. I received treatment through prayer and also secured a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, which I began to study earnestly. My healing was slow, but I persevered. Christian Science was my only hope. When I began to see clearly that there is but one supreme and universal cause, God, entirely and completely good, and that therefore anything that is not good is not true, no matter how true and real it seems to the physical senses, I began to improve and continued to improve until I was restored to health and happiness.
