HEALING
OF GRANULATED EYELIDS
I live in Chowen,
Minnesota. I was troubled for ten years with granulated
eyelids, and weakness of the optic nerve. I tried both
allopathic and homoeopathic treatment, but was not helped by
either. I finally heard of Mrs. Thompson, through a neighbor
who had been healed, and concluded, as a last resort, to
have her treat my eyes. When I went to her my eyes were so
weak that I had been unable to open them for three months.
They were inflamed, swollen, and covered with a bandage. She
had me remove the bandage as soon as I entered her presence.
After she gave me a treatment she requested me to open my
eyes. I did, and was astonished to find the weakness gone.
The light had no disagreeable effect upon them. Two days
after this I wrote a letter, apprizing my friends of the
wonderful cure. I then commenced using my eyes freely,
something I had not done for many years. I felt that I had
indeed experienced one of the miracles the Scriptures speak
of.
It is over a year since I
was healed; as my eyes have remained well, and my body has
continually grown stronger.
