  	                           LIVER COMPLAINT HEALED 

 9	    As my thoughts go back to the time when I believed
  	I had nothing to live for, and when each morning's awak-
  	ing from sleep brought a sense of disappointment to find
12	myself still among the living (for I had hoped each night
  	that I closed my eyes in sleep that it would be the last
  	time), my heart overflows with love and gratitude to
15	God for our dear Leader who discovered this blessed
  	truth and to the dear ones who have helped me so lov-
  	ingly and patiently over many rough places. 
18	    Twelve years ago, I consulted a physician because I
  	had noticed some odd-looking spots on one of my arms. 
  	He said they were liver spots, but that it was not worth
21	while prescribing for those few, that I should wait until
  	I was covered with them. About three months later,
  	with the exception of my face and hands, I was covered
24	with them. Then I became alarmed and called on
  	another physician who prescribed for me, but he finally
  	said he could do no more for me. Other physicians
27	were consulted with no better results. Six years ago,
  	friends advised me to see their family physician, and
  	when I called on him he said he was positive he could
30	cure me, so I asked him to prescribe for me. At the
 1	end of two years, after prescribing steadily, he said I
  	was so full of medicine that he was afraid to have me
 3	take any more, and advised a rest. After having... paid
  	out a small fortune, I was no better, and very much
  	discouraged. 
 6	    Two years ago, having failed in business, I applied to
  	one of my patrons for a furnished room where I could
  	meet the few I still had left. This lady, who is a Christian
 9	Scientist, loaned me Science and Health, and because
  	she asked me so often how I was getting on with the
  	book, I began reading it. I also attended the Wednes-
12	day evening meetings which I found very interesting. 
  	After hearing the testimonies at the meetings, I decided
  	to speak to some practitioner about these spots, but
15	not until I had at least a hundred dollars on hand, be-
  	cause I thought I would require that amount for treat-
  	ments, as I had been accustomed to paying high prices. 
18	I had not inquired about prices, and in fact did not speak
  	to any one about my intentions, because I felt sensitive
  	on this subject. When I had read about half of Science
21	and Health, I missed the spots, and upon searching
  	could find no trace of them. They had entirely dis-
  	appeared without treatment. In a few weeks the read-
24	ing of that book had accomplished what materia medica
  	had failed to accomplish in ten years. It is impossible
  	to express the feeling of relief and happiness which came
   27    over me then. — C. K., Astoria, N. Y.
