BLOOD POISONING
HEALED
. .
. About three years ago I had blood poisoning in the middle
finger of my right hand; but, while the appearance of it
became very alarming, I was able, through the knowledge I
had gained of Truth, to be on duty at my place of business
every day, suffering very little pain and inconvenience.
However, we had received a rush order for some of our
merchandise, which required me to do a lot of climbing in
our warehouse, and to assist in lifting and loading heavy
articles. In doing this I lost my footing; and when I threw
out my right arm in an effort to check my fall, the hand
struck a projection, tearing off the bandages. Immediately I
declared the truth and went on with my work. After
completing this work I went into a drugstore to have my
friend the druggist assist me in putting on another bandage,
since it was very awkward for me to do this myself. The
druggist became very much alarmed at the black appearance of
my hand and arm, and was very much surprised that I would
not allow him to apply any remedies. Right at this time a
physician happened to come in; and, seeing the condition, he
declared that the hand — and probably the whole arm
— would have to come off in order to save my life, and
suggested that I go immediately to the hospital. Neither the
physician nor my friend the druggist could understand my
cheerful answer that I was not suffering any pain. The
physician went out saying: "Well, Christian Science will
never save that hand." Thanks be to God, and to the loving
work of a Christian Science practitioner, I was using that
hand within two days, operating my typewriter as usual, with
very little inconvenience, and suffering no pain.
I
am truly grateful for the knowledge I have of Christian
Science, and for the loving thoughts of all those who have
helped and are helping me on my journey out of materiality;
and especially am I grateful for our literature, and for
Mrs. Eddy's wonderful book "Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures."
