When my daughter was ten months old, she developed eczema over her entire body. Three times she was admitted to a hospital, and she continued under medical care for many months but without any relief. So we finally kept her at home.

I was in such despair that I thought I couldn't endure it any longer, and I feared for the child's life. This disturbed my husband a great deal, and he went to talk with his father, who lived nearby. When he returned he handed me, from his father, a thick book entitled Wissenschaft und Gesundheit mit Schlüssel zur Heiligen Schrift [Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures] by Mary Baker Eddy. He told me that I should read from it.

After I had made my daughter ready for the night, I began to read. I read with the desire and total effort that a drowning person would expend to save himself. I had never heard of Christian Science before, but it was as if I had already been waiting longingly for this book. I read until late in the night. When I woke in the morning and checked on our daughter, I rubbed my eyes, for I thought I wasn't seeing correctly. But it was true; she was healed. Her entire body was as smooth as that of a newborn child.
