MOTHER AND DAUGHTER HEALED
When Christian Science came to me, I had been tak-
15 ing medicine every day for twenty years, on account of
constipation. I had been treated by doctors and spe-
cialists; had taken magnetic treatments and osteopathy;
18 had tried change of climate; had an operation in a hospital,
and when I came out was worse than before. I was
so discouraged, after I had tried everything I ever heard
21 of, and was no better but rather grew worse, that it seemed
as though I must give up trying to get well, when a friend
suggested that I try Christian Science. I had heard
24 that Christian Scientists healed by prayer, and I thought
this must be the way Jesus had healed. I felt that this
was all there was left for me to try. I sent for the book,
27 Science and Health, and commenced to read it out of
curiosity, not thinking or knowing that I could be helped
by the reading, but thinking I must still take medicine
30 and that I must also have treatment by a Scientist. I,
1 however, dropped my medicine and read for three days;
then a light began to shine in the darkness. I was healed
3 of the trouble and have never had to take medicine since.
I have studied Science and Health faithfully ever since,
and other ailments have disappeared. My little daughter
6 has also been healed and has learned to use this knowledge
in her school work. — Mrs. O. R., Leadville, Col.
