declaring the truth and denying that there could
be a break or accident in the realm of divine Love,
until a gentleman came to assist me, saying, he
thought I had been stunned. I was only two and a
half blocks from home, so I mounted my wheel again
and managed to reach it. On arriving there I lay
down and asked my little boy to bring me our text-
book. He immediately brought Science and Health,
which I read for about ten minutes, when all pain
left.

I said nothing to my family of the accident, but at-
tended to some duties and was about half an hour late
in returning to the office, this being my only loss of time
from work. My friends claimed that the arm had not
been broken, as it would have been impossible for me to
continue my work without having it set, and carrying it
in a sling until the bone knit together. Their insistence
almost persuaded me that I might have been mistaken,
until one of my friends invited me to visit a physician's
office where they were experimenting with an X-ray ma-
chine. The physician was asked to examine my left
arm to see if it differed from the ordinary. On look-
ing through it, he said, "Yes, it has been broken, but
whoever set it made a perfect job of it, and you will
never have any further trouble from that break." My
friend then asked the doctor to show how he could
tell where the break had been. The doctor pointed
out the place as being slightly thicker at that part,
like a piece of steel that had been welded. This
was the first of several cases of mental surgery that
have come under my notice, and it made a deep
impression on me.

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
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
