seemed surely going to the grave, the victim of consumption. I had received her attention but a short time when my bad symptoms disappeared, and I regained health. During this time I rode out in storms to visit her, and found the damp weather had no unpleasant effect on me. From my personal experience I am led to believe that the Science by which she not only heals sickness, but explains the way to keep well, is deserving the earnest attention of the community. Her cures are not the result of medicine, spiritualism, or mesmerism, but the application of a Principle that she understands.

Miss Ellen C. Pillsbury, of Tilton, N. H., was suffering
from what her physicians called enteritis, in the
Enteritis.
severest form, following typhoid fever. Her case
was given up by her regular physician, and she was lying at
the point of death, when Mrs. Glover (afterwards Mrs. Eddy)
visited her. In a few moments after Mrs. Glover entered the
room and stood by the bedside, Miss Pillsbury recognized her
aunt, and said, “I am glad to see you, aunty.” In about ten
minutes more Mrs. Glover told her to rise from her bed and
walk. Miss Pillsbury rose, walked seven times across her
room, and then sat down in a chair. For two weeks before
this we had not entered her room without feeling obliged to
step lightly. Her bowels were so tender that she felt the jar,
and it increased her sufferings. She could only be moved
on a sheet from bed to bed. When she walked across the
room, at Mrs. Glover's bidding, Mrs. Glover told Miss Pillsbury
to stamp her foot strongly upon the floor, and she did
so without suffering from it. The next day she was dressed,
and went down to the table; and on the fourth day she made
a journey of about a hundred miles in the cars.
Mrs. Elizabeth P. Baker.
