Christian Science
Testimony
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.
