 9	                       CONSUMPTION QUICKLY CURED 

  	    I became interested in Christian Science nearly five
  	years ago through the healing of my wife of what the
12	doctors called consumption in its last stages. I had tried
  	everything that I could get in the way of materia medica,
  	and every doctor would tell me nearly the same story
15	about the case. At last they recommended for her only
  	a higher, drier climate, and when she would be at her
  	worst to give her something to quiet her. 
18	    I tried different climates, but she was no better,
  	indeed worse. At last she struggled along until the
  	first of March, 1899. She had taken to her bed again. 
21	For two days and nights she suffered, and I called a
  	physician. He came and diagnosed the case, and said
  	that he could do nothing for her but give her some
24	morphine tablets to make her rest. I gave her two
  	of them according to direction, and just before the
  	time to give her the third, she called me to her bed-
27	side, and said, "Don't give me any more of that stuff,
  	for it does me more harm than good," so I turned and
  	placed them in the fire, though I did not then know any-
30	thing about Christian Science. We had heard of it, but
 1	that was all. I gave her the last tablet at eight o'clock
  	that night, and about nine o'clock the next day a lady
 3	who had been healed in Christian Science visited her,
  	and introduced her to this great truth. She accepted ...it
  	and thought she would try it. The lady loaned her Sci-
 6	ence and Health. She got the book about ten o'clock
  	that day and read it until dinner was called. She ate a
  	hearty dinner, the first in about three days, and that same
 9	evening she dressed herself, walked into the dining-room,
  	ate a hearty supper and enjoyed it. She slept well that
  	night. She borrowed this lady's copy of Science and
12	Health two hours each day for eight days, and was
  	healed. The first day that she read Science and Health
  	she weighed about ninety-five pounds. Three months
15	later she weighed one hundred and thirty-five pounds.
