From Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy
AFTER TWENTY YEARS' SUFFERING
... When Christian Science found me I was under the doctor's sentence that if I lived the week through I would become entirely helpless, not able to move hand or foot. ... [T]he first day I read from [Science and Health] ... I was convinced its teachings were the same truths as Jesus Christ had taught centuries ago. When I had read a few pages, I reached out and threw my medicine from the open window at the head of my bed. I then turned back to the book and began reading again, when, lo, the Christ-idea dawned upon me, and I was healed instantaneously. ... [Y]ear after year has gone by, till twenty years have passed and the healing has remained perfect ....—Mrs. P.L.H., Fairmont, Minn.
