  	                HEALED PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY 

  	    I had been taking medicine continually for many
12	years. Finally I was taken suddenly ill and could not
  	leave my room for about two months, then I went away
  	for three months, thinking that I should come back
15	and be able to continue my work. I improved very much,
  	but the fear of quick consumption was with my doctor
  	and my family and friends, and I was warned about the
18	coming winter. Only too soon the fear manifested
  	itself. I had worked just three weeks when all the pains
  	and aches returned, and I had to go to bed as soon as I
21	got home, so there was no pleasure in living. My em-
  	ployer advised me to see my physician, and said perhaps
  	I should not work that winter. I then and there turned
24	to Christian Science. I could not afford to give up work
  	and live away from home, neither did I want to depend
  	on doctors and medicine any longer. I took the book
27	and read it on my way to work, and at noon I lay down
  	on a couch instead of going out for luncheon and fell
  	asleep. When I awoke I was a different person, all
30	pains and aches had gone, and I was free. I was so
 1	happy I could hardly contain myself; to material
  	sense it was wonderful. As I walked I kept saying,
 3	"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful," and tried to un-
  	derstand "the scientific statement of being" by repeat-
  	ing portions at a time, then pondering over them. I
 6	read the ...book four times in succession, and every
  	time I found more and more to aid in the under-
  	standing. 
 9	    This healing was in October, 1901, with no other
  	help than Science and Health, and soon I was relieved
  	of other chronic ailments. In February I was able to
12	put away eyeglasses, which I had worn ten years and
  	a half for astigmatism. Oculists told me I would always
  	have to wear them. A month later my father asked
15	me to help him, as he was suffering so much from con-
  	stipation, dyspepsia, and neuralgia. He had been sub-
  	sisting on bran, nearly starving himself until he was most
18	miserable, and his limbs seemed so cold that they were
  	kept wrapped in blankets. I felt very humble as he
  	asked me, and told him I would have a practitioner help
21	him, as I had never treated any one; but he would not
  	consent to have any one but myself, and I finally told
  	him I would try, but that he must not hold Science respon-
24	sible if he were not benefited, for my lack of understand-
  	ing, and not Science, would be at fault. At my request
  	he read Science and Health, ate whatever he wanted,
27	and used no medicine in any form. After two treat-
  	ments I received word from him that he was healed
  	of that bondage of thirty years' standing. In view of
30	all these signs which followed my acceptance of Chris-
  	tian Science, I knew it must be true. — R. L. A.,
