For these I had been treated by some of the best specialists in my native land, and after coming to the United States I had been doctored 6 much and had worn glasses for four years. I also had catarrh, for which I had taken much medicine without being relieved. In addition to this I was an excessive 9 smoker, using tobacco in some form almost constantly. I had contracted a smoker's heart, and used liquors freely. 12 The one who brought to me that which I now prize so highly, was a book agent. I told him that I should be forced to leave my trade on account of my eyes. 15 He then told me of having been healed of a cancer, through Christian Science treatment. He showed me a copy of Science and Health, which had the signs of 18 much use, and after being assured that if I did my part I would be healed of all my diseases, I sent for a copy of the book. 21 My recovery was very rapid, for after reading the book only three weeks I was completely healed of the tobacco habit. I will say, in regard to this healing, 24 that it did not require even as much as a resolution on my p...art. I was smoking a cigar, while reading Science and Health, when all the desire to continue 27 smoking left me, and I have never had a desire to use tobacco in any form since then. My eyes were the next to manifest the influence of the new knowledge 30 gained, and had soon so far recovered that I could go about my work with ease, and I have had no more use for glasses. To-day my heart is normal, the catarrh 1 has totally disappeared, and I am not addicted to the use of liquor. 3 Christian Science has proved to be an ever-present help, not only in overcoming physical ailments, but in business and daily life. It has also overcome a great 6 sense of fear. The Bible, which I regarded with suspicion, has become my guide, and Christianity has become a sweet reality, because the Christian Science 9 textbook has indeed been a "Key to the Scriptures" and has breathed through the Gospel pages a sweet sense of harmony. — A.
