  	     HEALED OF INFIDELITY AND MANY PHYSICAL ILLS 

 9	    I feel compelled to write my testimony and hope that
  	I may be accepted as one more witness to the Truth as con-
  	tained in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. 
12	    In the year 1883 I first heard of Christian Science. I
  	was sitting in a saloon in Leadville, Col., reading a daily
  	paper of that place. My eyes lighted upon an article
15	which spoke of some peculiar people in Boston who
  	claimed to have discovered how to heal as Jesus healed. 
  	I do not remember much of the article, but those words
18	stayed with me. 
  	    I had drifted out to Colorado from New York City (my
  	home), where I had been under the treatment of many
21	leading physicians. The last one, who was too honest
  	to take my money knowing that he could not cure me,
  	advised me to keep away from doctors and quit taking
24	medicine, as nothing but death could cure me. My
  	trouble was pronounced by some to be Bright's disease,
  	by others gravel on the kidneys with very acute inflam-
27	mation of the bladder and prostate gland. 
  	    In the spring of 1888 my wife and myself were spend-
  	ing the evening at the house of a gentleman whose wife
30	had been healed in the East by Christian Science. The
 1	gentleman took a book from its bookcase saying, "Here
  	is a work on Christian Science." It proved to be Science
 3	and Health. I knew as soon as I had read the title-page
  	that this was... the very book we wanted. We immediately
  	sent for the book, and when it arrived we obeyed the angel
 6	and feasted on it. I was very much prejudiced against
  	the Bible, and my first demonstration over self was to
  	consent to read the four Gospels. My wife bought me a
 9	New Testament and I began to read it. What a change
  	came over me! All my prejudice was gone in an instant! 
  	When I read the Master's words, I caught his meaning
12	and the lesson he tried to convey. It was not difficult for
  	me to accept the whole Bible, for I could not help myself,
  	I was just captured. The disease with which I had been
15	troubled for years tormented me worse than ever for
  	about six months, as if trying to turn me aside; but I lost
  	all fear of it. 
18	    I kept up my study of Science and Health and the dis-
  	ease disappeared. I can honestly say that Science and
  	Health was my only healer, and it has been my only
21	teacher. — R. A. C., Los Angeles, Cal.
