INTENSE SUFFERING OVERCOME
21 For about five years I was afflicted with sciatic rheu-
matism, in such a severe form that my body was drawn
out of shape. When able to be around, I walked with
24 the assistance of a cane. The attacks were periodical,
recurring every few months; any exposure to rain or
dampness would bring one. At one time I was in bed
27 eleven weeks, suffering intensely all the time except when
relieved by hypodermic injections. When I had these
attacks, my regular physician was always in attendance.
30 My daughter consulted another physician, who said there
1 would have to be an operation which would include
the exposing and scraping of the sciatic nerve. There
3 was also another physician who, knowing of the case,
examined my heart and claimed that it was weak and
that I was liable to pass on at any time from heart
6 trouble.
After suffering three years I heard of Christian Science,
but did not avail myself of it for two years, when I de-
9 cided to give up all other means and rely wholly upon
it. It was not convenient to call a practitioner, so I took
Science and Health and applied its teachings as best
12 I could. In three days the trouble completely left
me and there has never been the slightest return. My
health has been good ever since, and I am at present
15 in perfect physical health. I have been benefited in
every way by Christian Sc...ience, physically, mentally, and
spiritually, and would not be without my understand-
18 ing of it for anything. — Mrs. E. A. K., Billings,
