It has occurred to me that a testimony about my experience might be of help to someone seeking aid for a similar malady through Christian Science. I had witnessed many healings of my wife and two children through the study of this truth but had not accepted it myself. At one time I had asked help from a Christian Science practitioner for a severe cold and had had an instantaneous healing. I had tried to read Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, but with a closed mind. I did not accept Science until about twenty-five years later.

Then one day in the office I had a severe epileptic attack and had to be driven home. My wife then told me that I had been having these attacks for some months, mostly at night, but that she had prayed about it, denying the condition power or reality, and so had not told me. Now, however, this condition necessitated my being removed from the work I was doing, and though I retained my office, I had nothing to do. I was sent to the medical department and thence to many specialists, who advised me they could not heal me.

I began to do much reading. I did not intend to take up Christian Science, but I asked my wife for a copy of Science and Health to read. This time the pages were clear, concise, and enlightened for me, and so I started to study it.
