 1	                    CURING BETTER THAN ENDURING 

  	    For eight years I was a great sufferer from weak
 3	lungs and after being treated by ten different physi-
  	cians, in the States of Illinois, Missouri, and Colo-
  	rado, I was told there was no hope of my recovery
 6	from what they pronounced tuberculosis, which was
  	hereditary, my father having been afflicted with it. I
  	was greatly emaciated and hardly able to be about. 
 9	My general condition was aggravated by what the doc-
  	tors said was paralysis of the bowels. Three physi-
  	cians so diagnosed it at different times, and assured
12	my husband that I could never get more than tem-
  	porary relief. This indeed I found difficult to obtain,
  	in spite of my almost frantic efforts. At times I was
15	nearly insane from suffering, and after eight years of
  	doctoring I found myself steadily growing worse. For
  	four years I did not have a normal action of the bowels,
18	and it was only by extreme effort and by resort to pow-
  	erful drugs or mechanical means, with resultant suffering,
  	that any action whatever could be brought about. 
21	    I had heard nothing of the curative power of Chris-
  	tian Science, and only to oblige a friend I went one
  	night, about three years ago, to one of their mid-week
24	testimonial meetings, in Boulder, Colorado. I was much
  	impressed by what I heard there, and determined at once
  	to investigate this strange religion, in the hope that ...it
27	might have something good for me. I bought the text-
  	book, Science and Health, and from the first I found
  	myself growing stronger and better, both physically and
30	mentally, as I acquired a better understanding and en-
  	deavored to put into practice what I learned. In one week
 1	I was able to get along better without drugs than I had for
  	years with them, and before three months had passed I
 3	was better than I had been any time in my life, for I
  	had always suffered more or less from bowel trouble. 
  	Since that time I have taken no medicine whatever, and
 6	rely wholly upon Christian Science. My lungs are now
  	sound, my bowels normally active, my general health
  	excellent, and I am able to endure without fatigue
 9	tasks that before would have prostrated me. The
  	study of our textbook was the sole means of my healing.
