Dyspepsia Healed

John C. Higdon

Mr. John C. Higdon, a prominent lawyer of St. Louis, Mo., in an article recently published in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, thus testifies of his own healing through Christian Science.

For twenty-three years I was an inveterate user of tobacco, smoking some days fifteen cigars and chewing between times. For fourteen years I suffered with dyspepsia or indigestion, accompanied finally by ulceration of the stomach, causing untold agony. I exhausted every approved remedy that physicians prescribed or friends suggested. I purchased medicines at wholesale rates. Finally one physician frankly told me he could not cure me. I tried the following remedies: Horseback and bicycle riding, walking, cold and hot baths, wood sawing, punching the bag, travel, sea baths, famous mineral waters, and mountain climbing. I steadily grew worse.

Four years ago, as a last resort, I tried Christian Science. In three days I was cured. The tobacco habit left me. Afterward I tried to smoke, but the cigar was distasteful. I have taken no remedies whatever, yet I have gained forty-five pounds in weight and the healing is permanent.

From February, 1895, to September, 1896, I studied the Bible and the text-book of Christian Science, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, the Founder of Christian Science, and then took a certified course of training at the Kansas Christian Science Institute at Kansas City, Mo.

I now have to my credit the healing of a case of Bright's disease, after the patient had been given up to die, within three days; another of organic heart disease, and another very aggravated case of a different nature. I am willing to give the name and address in each case.

My healing was brought about by my healer declaring the Truth about me and to me.
