grand book I was completely healed of all my physical
ailments in two weeks' time. I have used no medi-
cine from that day to this, and with God's help, and
the wonderful light revealed to me through the reading
of Mrs. Eddy's book, I never expect to again. I used
to smoke eight or ten cigars a day, and also took an
occasional drink, but the desire for these has gone, – I
feel forever. I travel on the road, and am constantly
being invited to indulge, but it is no effort to abstain,
and in many instances I find that my refusal helps
others.

While I fully appreciate the release from my physical
While I fully appreciate the release from my physical
troubles, this pales into insignificance in comparison with
the spiritual uplifting Christian Science has brought me.
I had not been inside a church for more than ten years,
to attend regular services, until I entered a Christian
Science church. What I saw and realized there, seemed
so genuine that I loved Christian Science from the very
start. I have never taken a treatment, – every inch
of the way has been through study and practical demon-
stration, and I know that all can do the same thing if they
will try.

Since I have been in Science I have overcome a case of
ulcerated tooth in one night through the reading of Science
and Health; also a severe attack of grip in thirty-six hours
by obeying the Scripture saying, "Physician, heal thy-
self." – B. H. N., New York, N. Y.

I was a great sufferer for many years from internal
cancer and consumption. I was treated by the best of
611:1
physicians in New York, Minneapolis, and Duluth, and
physicians in New York, Minneapolis, and Duluth, and
was finally given up as incurable, when I heard of Chris-
tian Science. A neighbor who had been healed of con-
sumption, kindly loaned me Science and Health by Mrs.
Eddy, which I read and became interested in. In three
months' time, I was healed, the truth conveyed to me by
this book being the healer, and not only of these diseases,
but I was made whole mentally as well. I have not been
in bed one day since, or rather in eleven years. I have
had many good demonstrations during this time, have
passed through many a "fiery trial," but this blessed truth
has caused me to stand, at times seemingly alone, and
God was with me.
611:14
I will mention a demonstration of painless childbirth
I will mention a demonstration of painless childbirth
which I have had since coming to Idaho. Perhaps it may
help some sister who is looking through the Journal for
a demonstration of this kind, as I was before my baby
came. Good help being scarce here, I did my housework
up to the time I was confined, and was in perfect health.
I awoke my husband one morning at five o'clock, and at
half past five baby was born, no one being present but
my husband and myself. It was quite a surprise to the
rest of the family to see me sitting by the fire with a new
baby on my lap. My son got the breakfast, of which I
ate heartily; at noon I joined the family in the dining-
room. I was out on the porch the second day, around
the yard the third day, and have been perfectly well
ever since, which has been now over three years. To
one who had previously passed through agony untold,
with a physician in attendance, this seemed wonderful.
I hope this will interest some one who is seeking the truth,
and I wish to express my sincere love for our beloved
