end of two years, after prescribing steadily, he said I
was so full of medicine that he was afraid to have me
take any more, and advised a rest. After having paid

discouraged.

Two years ago, having failed in business, I applied to
one of my patrons for a furnished room where I could
meet the few I still had left. This lady, who is a Christian
Scientist, loaned me Science and Health, and because
she asked me so often how I was getting on with the
book, I began reading it. I also attended the Wednes-
day evening meetings which I found very interesting.
After hearing the testimonies at the meetings, I decided
to speak to some practitioner about these spots, but
not until I had at least a hundred dollars on hand, be-
cause I thought I would require that amount for treat-
ments, as I had been accustomed to paying high prices.
I had not inquired about prices, and in fact did not speak
to any one about my intentions, because I felt sensitive
on this subject. When I had read about half of Science
and Health, I missed the spots, and upon searching
could find no trace of them. They had entirely dis-
appeared without treatment. In a few weeks the read-
ing of that book had accomplished what materia medica
had failed to accomplish in ten years. It is impossible
to express the feeling of relief and happiness which came
over me then. – C. K., Astoria, N. Y.
