Dear MadameMrs Eddy -

Having taken a few treatmentsEditorial Note: This is a reference to Christian Science treatment through prayer. under your wonderful 'discovery'Editorial Note: Christian Science I became at once assured that it was just what would be the life of my diseased frame, but many things conspired to compel me to leave the city and as I thought a sure cure behind me, I was mistaken, Mrs Reed, who got her knowledge from Dr Sherman, asked me to correspond with you and mayhap you would take my case in hand or tell me of someoneAs Written:some one in New Haven who could help me. Since my childhood I have been the victim of numerous chronic troubles which finally terminated in heart disease banishing me utterly from my home in Denver City Colorado where my father fled to be delivered from Asthma. My heart trouble finally culminated in partial paralysis of my whole left side brain – vocal organs upper & lower limbs. I am very gradually coming out of that, but it takes much prayer & faith in Divine love to be patient and wait

My spine is diseased I inherit catarrh from my Asthmatic father. all the organs connected with my spine are out of order and my eyes are almost useless

Can you help me? you can't think how I shall watch for your answer. and pray for a propitious answer. direct to
