  	    FREED FROM NEURASTHENIC AND OTHER TROUBLES 

21	    Christian Science found in me a minister's son who
  	had failed to profit by continuous teaching in the old
  	thought. Some years ago I was pronounced by a pro-
24	fessor of materia medica, whose works are in general use,
  	a neurasthenic. I had been in this condition more or less
  	for eight years, and up to two years ago, when Christian
27	Science was first brought to my attention (thanks to Al-
  	mighty God) through a kind friend, I was almost con-
  	stantly taking medicine and had in all eleven physicians
30	who undoubtedly did their best, but without avail, not-
 1	withstanding almost all known drugs were prescribed,
  	and further I had tried very many patent medicines. I
 3	was also put through forms of hygienic treatment and
  	other things that offered inducements. At the time of
  	coming into Science I was taking three times daily forty
 6	minims of cod-liver oil and three of creosote, also three
  	drops of Fowler's solution of arsenic, and on the month
  	or so previous had bought eighteen dollars' worth of
 9	patent medicine. I was restricted to the simplest means
  	of diet, — all stews, fries, sweets, berries, and tomatoes I
  	had not touched for two years. 
12	    I started to read Science and Health, and before I had
  	half finished the book once I was eating everything that
  	any one does. I read the book eleven times straight
15	ahead and many times skipping abo...ut. The book
  	has done the work and I am a well man. — C. E. M.,
