Debility and disease: their cause and cure

CAROLYN B. SWAN

The Discoverer of Christian Science, Mrs. Eddy, made use of illustrations from various aspects of human experience in order to help people grasp the influence of thought on the body. In Science and Health she relates an experience that was published in a medical magazine, about a young woman disappointed in love.

Years passed, but time was frozen for this woman as she stood watching for her lover's return. Although she was well past seventy, people supposed from her appearance that she was still young. Mrs. Eddy concluded, "She could not age while believing herself young, for the mental state governed the physical." Science and Health, p. 245.
