Christian Science
Testimony
CATARACT QUICKLY
CURED
I wish to add my testimony to
those of others, and hope that it may be the means of
bringing some poor sufferer to health, to happiness, and to
God. I was healed through simply reading this wonderful
book, Science and Health. I had been troubled periodically
for many years with sore eyes, and had been to many doctors,
who called the disease iritis and cataract. They told me
that my eyes would always give me trouble, and that I would
eventually lose my sight if I remained in an office, and
advised me to go under an operation. Later on I had to wear
glasses at my work, also out of doors as I could not bear
the winds, and my eyes were gradually becoming worse. I
could not read for longer than a few minutes at a time,
otherwise they would smart severely. I had to rest my eyes
each evening to enable me to use them the next day; in fact
gas-light was getting unbearable because of the pain, and I
made home miserable. A dear brother told me about Christian
Science, and said that if I would read Science and Health it
would help me. He procured for me the loan of the book. The
first night I read it, it so interested me I quite forgot
all about my eyes until my wife remarked that it was eleven
o'clock. I found that I had been reading this book for
nearly four hours, and I remarked immediately after, "I
believe my eyes are cured," which was really the case. The
next day, on looking at my eyes, my wife noticed that the
cataract had disappeared. I put away my outdoor glasses,
which I have not required since, and through the
understanding gained by studying Christian Science I have
been able to do away with my indoor glasses also, and have
had no return of pain in my eyes since. This is now a year
and a half ago.
