Prayer cures two severe cases of mastoiditis

Virginia Roddy

When my twin sons were about two years old, they both became quite fretful and ill. I was praying steadfastly, and had called a Christian Science practitioner to treat them through prayer, as well. After about a week, the boys were no better, and the physical condition had become quite alarming. One of the boys had a lump under his ear, and one side of the other boy's head was swollen.

My husband was not a Christian Scientist, and a doctor was called.

He came to the home to see the boys. After examining them he made the following diagnosis: one twin's condition was serious, while the other's was a matter of life or death. He said it was the worst case of mastoiditis he had ever seen, and the boys should be operated on immediately. But he said that at this stage there was only a fifty-fifty chance that the more seriously ill child would survive the operation.
