Last Fall I went from this place to ChicagoEditorial Note: Chicago, Illinois to be healed and if possible learn the "divine science of healing the sickEditorial Note: Christian Science. My disease was sciaticaAs Written:sciataca for which I took over forty treatments of one whom I finally found to be a metaphysical fraud. One of Dr. or Mr. Shermans students sent me to this healer and teacher, She did not know then however, that this lady and husband used magnetic treatment. They had 1st studied your Theories, but later taken up Evans methods.

My treatments helped me for a time, until I had read "Evans Mental MedicineAs Written:Medecine and Divine Law of Cure," Then your Science and HealthEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. and 2nd work were given me to read hurriedly. with the assurance that if I could endorse you, they would teach me for nothing. They know I was poor, but deliberately charged me $100.00Editorial Note: $100.00 in 1885 is the equivalent of $2,647.00 in 2019. for teaching me Evans. I read your booksEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. with great interest, and frankly told them I preferred you to Evans. but being in their power. I let them lead me farther until I had read Evans "Mental Cure" and they urged one to buy his last work, when I quit them in disgust. After reading your booksEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. I lost all interest in their treatment. Their manipulations hurt me. I had to tell them so. They were angry but I left before finishing my lessons. I sought out other Metaphysicians. and through their sympathies, by the aid of your booksEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy., did some good work before leaving the CityEditorial Note: Chicago, Illinois. but my money was exhausted. and I had to leave the CityEditorial Note: Chicago, Illinois. Among my relatives am having good success. Have tried only two cases outside of my relatives. The 1st a case of Asthma. Pronounced incurable by our PhysiciansAs Written:Phy's. with six treatments think I've cured her. The other one is a case of so much importance, that I must have advice from you if I can.

Those whom I met in Chicago have not had long reference as Healers. This young man has been deaf eleven years. The best medicalAs Written:med. skill of our university has failed with him. and by best PhysiciansAs Written:Phy's in city of BuffaloEditorial Note: Buffalo, New York he is pronounced past help. I’ve given him seven treatments. Each one giving him a stinging pulling sensation of the nerves about the ear and neck under the ear. Except this sensation I quiet him to sleep some times.

Is this sensation about the ear a good indication? I asked him to sit for the quiet effect when alone. which he does and falls into a troubled sleep from which he soon awakens with a thumping feeling back of his eyes. Need this give me anxiety? He is full of faith. I do so desire to cure him. Would you not treat him twice a day? Does frequent treatment result in any harm? if possible do give me advice and enclose your bill.
