Christian
Science Testimony
MEASLES
MENINGITIS HEALED
Deep gratitude and the belief
that our experience will help some other parents who are in
despair, cause me to send this testimony. Our little girl,
aged seven, became entirely paralyzed with what the doctors
called measles meningitis, and although she was taken to a
local hospital and given the best care possible, she was
visibly fading away. After weeks and weeks of this state of
affairs we were finally told that the child could not live,
or at the best would remain paralyzed for years. We decided
to try Christian Science and took her to San Francisco,
where she was placed in the care of a practitioner. While in
the hospital she was nightly given material remedies which
the nurses informed me were absolutely necessary. The first
night under Christian Science treatment she obtained a fair
night's rest, and at the end of three days the bowels moved
naturally. When she had been in San Francisco less than a
week she recovered her speech and the third week she walked
about again. In exactly one month from the day Christian
Science treatment was begun we took her out to Golden Gate
Park, where she was able to run and play with all her usual
childish abandon.
We are more than grateful
for all that Christian Science has done for us, and feel
that there is no better way to express our gratitude than to
carry this healing truth to others. My sincere prayer is
that I may be able to get a thorough understanding of this
great work.
