Just when. the Colorado doctors had Vonounced the death sentence upon him his sisâ€" ter ap})emd, brfnzgnos‘ with her a copy of "Science and Health." She, & physician‘s wife, had been healed through Christian Science treatment of a chronic and severe case of rheuâ€" matism. She joyfully announced to her brother that "Science and Health" explained the spiritual law of God which Christ Jesus <understood and applied in his healing work, and that he could gain an understanding of this same, everâ€"présent, everâ€"operaâ€" tive spiritual law, and be healed thereby. Immediatehy he began to study to gain this understanding; and within a remarkably short space of time he was up, and resumed his busi= ness activities. Some time later this man applied for additional insurance, and was referred. to his old family | doctor for examination. Before makâ€" ing the examination this doctor and| another physician reviewed the charts which had been made before this man had been sent to Colorado and which indicated the bad condition of his lungs at that time, ‘The doctors then examined him, and <to their utter | amazement they could find no trace of the old trouble, nor even a scar to j indicate that it had ever been present.
