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. Read more
