was thereby healed. In looking back I found I had not
suffered in the least from the time I began reading this
book. It has been nearly seventeen years since this won-
derful healing, and I have had no return of the disease.
My gratitude is endless and can be best expressed by
striving mightily to walk in the path our Leader has so
lovingly shown us in Science and Health. – Mrs.

After doctoring about a year, I was obliged to give
up school and was under medical care for two years;
but grew worse instead of better. I was then taken to
specialists, who pronounced my case incurable, saying
I was in the last stages of kidney disease and could
live only a short time. Shortly afterward my uncle
gave me a copy of "Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures," and asked me to study it. After study-
ing a short time I was able to walk a distance of several
miles, which I had not been able to do for three years.
I also laid aside glasses which I had worn seven years,
having been told I would become blind if my eyes did
not receive proper care. It is over a year since I re-
ceived God's blessing, and I am now enjoying perfect
health and happiness. I have never had my glasses on
since I first began reading Science and Health, and I have
not used any medicine. – L. R., Spring Valley, Minn.

I came to Christian Science purely for physical healing.
I came to Christian Science purely for physical healing.
I was very ill and unhappy; very cynical and disbeliev-
ing in regard to what I heard of God and religion.

I tried to live my life in my own way and put religion
aside. I was a great believer in fate and in will-power,
and thought to put them in the place of God, with
the consequence that I was led to do many rash and
foolish things. I am now thankful to say that my out-
look on life is entirely changed; I have proved God's
wisdom and goodness so often that I am willing and
thankful to know my future is in His hands and that
all things must work out for the best. I have found a
God whom I can love and worship with my whole
heart, and I now read my Bible with interest and
understanding.

I was healed of very bad rheumatism simply by read-
ing Science and Health. I had tried many medicines,
also massage, with no result, and the doctors told me
that I would always suffer from this disease, as it
was inherited, and also because I had rheumatic fever
when a child. I suffered day and night, and nothing
relieved me until Science proved to me the falseness
of this belief by removing it. I gave up all the medi-
cines I was taking and have never touched any since,
and that is more than two years ago. Before this I
had often tried to do without a medicine that I had
taken every day for ten years, but was always ill and had
to return to it, until I found out that one Mind is the only
medicine, and then I was freed from the suffering.
663:27
I had also suffered constantly from bilious attacks,
I had also suffered constantly from bilious attacks,
colds, and a weak chest, and had been warned not to
be out in wet weather, etc., but now, I am glad to say,
I am quite free from all those material laws and go
out in all sorts of weather. – R. D. F., Edinburgh,
Scotland.
