Many years ago, while I was still a young bride, my husband and I were on a business trip. We were staying at a guest house in a small town in Ohio. I awoke one morning with a severe case of tonsillitis. As I was unable to rise and dress myself, I remained in bed all day. It was difficult to swallow, and I had a high fever.

In the early evening I felt impelled to sit up in bed and make an effort to help myself with the little understanding I had of Christian Science. I had become interested in Science through relatives. I declared "the scientific statement of being," as given by Mrs. Eddy in Science and Health. One line especially helped me (p. 468): "All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all." I was instantly healed, and that same evening I ate a hearty meal, including tart plum sauce.

I have also experienced healings of other illnesses through prayer in Christian Science, such as an extreme nervous ailment, gallbladder and stomach trouble, influenza, neuralgia, eczema, and jaundice. When our son was a baby, he was quickly healed of croup, and later on of mumps, measles, and influenza.
