Internet Archive  a"The Religio-Medical Masquerade: A Complete Exposure of Christian Science" by Frederick W. Peabody is a critical examination of the Christian Science movement, likely written in the early 20th century. This work serves as an exposé, detailing the alleged fraudulent practices and teachings of Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science. Peabody’s primary aim appears to be to unveil what he perceives as a deceptive system masquerading as religion and healing, which he claims has led to significant societal harm, particularly to children.  The opening of the book sets a provocative tone, with Peabody expressing strong disdain for Christian Science and its founder. He argues that the movement is built on falsehoods and aims to profit from vulnerable individuals seeking solace through religious and medical healing. He recounts his encounters and experiences with Christian Science, including testimonies from supporters and opponents of the movement, emphasizing the detrimental effects on families and the neglect of child welfare due to the doctrine that denies the reality of physical illness. Overall, he positions himself as a witness and critic, determined to present the truth about what he refers to as a "masquerade," calling for greater awareness and accountability.
