I received letters from a Texas lady who had herself been
healed, and who wrote urging me to try Christian
Science.

Changing my boarding-place, I met a lady who owned
a copy of Science and Health, and in speaking to her of
having seen the book, she informed me she had one, and
she got it and told me I could read it. The revelation
was marvelous and brought a great spiritual awakening.
This awakened sense never left me, and one day when
walking alone it came to me very suddenly that I was
healed, and I walked the faster declaring every step that
I was healed. When I reached my boarding-place, I
found my hostess and told her I was healed. She looked
the picture of amazement. The tumor began to disap-
pear at once, the hemorrhage ceased, and perfect strength
was manifest.
604:17
There was no joy ever greater than mine for this Christ‑
There was no joy ever greater than mine for this Christ‑
cure, for I was very weary and heavy laden. I thought
very little of either sleeping or eating, and my heart was
filled with gratitude, since I knew I had touched the hem
of his garment.
604:22
I must add that the reading of Science and Health, and
I must add that the reading of Science and Health, and
that alone, healed me, and it was the second copy I ever
saw. – S. L., Fort Worth, Tex.

While an inmate of the State asylum for the insane at
Middletown, Conn., an epileptic, and at times confined to
my bed with bilious attacks, pronounced incurable by the
doctors (at least six in number), the book, Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mrs. Eddy was
605:1
placed in my hands. After reading a few pages, I be-
placed in my hands. After reading a few pages, I be-
came very much impressed with the truth therein stated,
and although I was surrounded with opposition, I knew
that "underneath are the everlasting arms." Since that
time – past the middle of the year 1899 – I have kept
pressing on, until I have been healed by reading Science
and Health. At times I was beset by what seemed un-
conquerable opposition, until the first week in October,
1904, when, upon going to my home in Darien for a visit,
I was given my liberty, and I am now earning my living
in this city. After having been subject to epileptic at-
tacks since 1892, and at one time pronounced dying
by the doctor in charge, I am now well. I have had no
fit, or symptoms of any, since the first week in May,
1904.
605:16
I trust that this testimony to the healing power of Truth,
I trust that this testimony to the healing power of Truth,
realized by reading Science and Health (for I had no treat-
ment), may reach the eye of some to whom the battle
seems long, and inspire them with fresh courage and a
realization of the worth of the victory. I am filled with
inexpressible gratitude and love to God, and to Mrs.
Eddy. – Mrs. B. B. C., Stamford, Conn.

I have felt for some time I should give my experience
in mental surgery. In May, 1902, going home for
lunch, on a bicycle, and while riding down a hill at a
rapid gait, I was thrown from the wheel, and falling
on my left side with my arm under my head, the bone
was broken about half-way between the shoulder and
elbow. While the pain was intense, I lay still in the dust,
