TONSILLITIS
HEALED
Christian
Science is daily gathering under its wings the sick, the
sinning, the sorrowing, and the unbelieving. I cite my own
experience as an illustration. I regarded Christian Science
with tolerant amusement until, about ten years ago, I
witnessed a wonderful healing. Our nearest neighbor was
healed in a few months by Christian Science treatment of a
long-standing habit of drunkenness, which had reduced him to
a physical wreck; and straightway he became a healthy,
independent, and useful member of the community. Out of
curiosity I began reading the textbook, "Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy; and a
short time later I asked for treatment for an attack of
tonsillitis from which I suffered frequently, and for which
an operation seemed inevitable. I was healed; and since that
time there has been no recurrence of the disease. Later I
was freed from chronic headaches, which I believed were
inherited from my father, who suffered from them all his
life. During these years every illness or problem of any
kind that has presented itself, in which I have been
faithful in applying Christian Science, has been solved in a
proportional degree.
