 young father had been told by many physicians that his beloved only child was suffeiing with chronic croup for which they knew no cure.

FoI years he had had faltering trust Cn i1Nr ,,3t when he found the child with ali the dreaded symptoms, instead Of calling physlcian-or n" "mbcr oi thenl-he took Science and Health into another room and read for a few minutes before calling ( Chris tian Science practitioner of his ac- quaintance.

 Much comforted, the you,.g man returned to his work and continued 10 think along these lines Things began to happen almost lmmedi- ately.
