For the benefit of others who may have something
For the benefit of others who may have something
similar to meet, I will say that I have overcome almost
constant attacks of sick headaches, extending back
to my earliest recollection. – L. C. S., Salt Lake City,

I wish to add my testimony to those of others, and
I wish to add my testimony to those of others, and
hope that it may be the means of bringing some poor
sufferer to health, to happiness, and to God. I was
healed through simply reading this wonderful book,
Science and Health. I had been troubled periodically
for many years with sore eyes, and had been to many
doctors, who called the disease iritis and cataract. They
told me that my eyes would always give me trouble, and
that I would eventually lose my sight if I remained in
an office, and advised me to go under an operation. Later
on I had to wear glasses at my work, also out of doors
as I could not bear the winds, and my eyes were gradually
becoming worse. I could not read for longer than a few
minutes at a time, otherwise they would smart severely.
I had to rest my eyes each evening to enable me to use
them the next day; in fact gas-light was getting unbearable
because of the pain, and I made home miserable. A
dear brother told me about Christian Science, and said
that if I would read Science and Health it would help
me. He procured for me the loan of the book. The
first night I read it, it so interested me I quite forgot
all about my eyes until my wife remarked that it was
eleven o'clock. I found that I had been reading this
book for nearly four hours, and I remarked immediately
after, "I believe my eyes are cured," which was really

the case. The next day, on looking at my eyes, my wife
the case. The next day, on looking at my eyes, my wife
noticed that the cataract had disappeared. I put away
my outdoor glasses, which I have not required since, and
through the understanding gained by studying Christian
Science I have been able to do away with my indoor
glasses also, and have had no return of pain in my eyes
since. This is now a year and a half ago. – G. F. S.,
Liverpool, England.

VALVULAR HEART DISEASE HEALED

Fourteen years ago my heart awoke to gratitude to
Fourteen years ago my heart awoke to gratitude to
God and the dear Leader at the same time. After a
patient and persistent effort of three months' duration, to
procure a copy of Science and Health (during which time
I had visited every bookstore, and many of the second-
hand bookstores in the city of St. Paul), and had failed
to find it, I at last remembered that the stranger who told
me I might be healed, had mentioned a name, and
McVicker's Theatre Building in Chicago as being in
some way connected with the work. I sent there for
information regarding a book called Health and Science,
and the return mail brought me the book, Science and
Health, and in it I at once found sure promise of deliver-
ance from valvular heart disease, with all the accompani-
ments, such as extreme nervousness, weakness, dyspepsia,
and insomnia. I had suffered from these all my life,
finding no permanent relief, even, in material remedies,
and no hope of cure at any time. Only those who have
been held in such bondage and have been liberated by
the same means, can know the eager joy of the first perusal
of that wonderful book.
