DIR. Flower dismissed his patient AS cured
and ten months have elapsed since the
treatment ceased. A letter from Mr.. Ca
nought, dated Geneva, Switzerland, Aug.
"a, 1881, states: | have been spending
the summer upon the continent, riding,
yachting, hunting, and fishing. l have
boon, and am now, enj ying most excellent
health; am far from pain, with tho excep-
tion of occasional pains in my feet. |

ten months since ceased your treatment,
and, take it all in all, hardly ever felt
better than now do.
l shall mako no comment upon the fol-
lowing wonderful cures; they are few of
tho many, and only illustrate what DIR.
Flower is doing for suffering humanity.
WAS IT A MIRACLE?
| Mrs. @. Martyr, Hotel Putnam, Boston,
says: At z years of age my son Edward
was attacked with what tho physicians
termed meningitis and shortly after
ward he was taken with spasms of tho
glottis, said to be caused by inhamma alton.
This went to the brain, and for months
the boy was apparently possessed with
| seven devils"
Physician after physician was called in,
but no one Of them was able to afford my
boy any relief
Finally one of Bostons most celebrated
experts, specialist in diseases of the
|
teau case has made his name prominent
before the world examined the boy. He
said that his brain was completely honey
combed with Inflammation, but could
promise no relief. He advised his re-
inoval to an asylum. To this could not
give my consent. as long as | had strength
left me to care for him, and thoroughly
disheartened and almost helpless, con-
tinued my weary vigils.
At this juncture l consulted DR.. II. c.
Flower. A very few minutes in his ex-
amining room soon convinced me that at
last l was in the presence of one who
could be justly named "a master of his
art"
My boys whole physical life seemed to
him an open book He recalled to me an
attack of scarlet fever which had occurred
when the child was but years of age,
and told me that then were planted the
germs which had since developed and
caused all his trouble that tho imtlamma-
tion was due to the presence of a myriad
of parasites, and assured me that he could
cure him. His knowledge of the case, and
his confident assurances SO encouraged me
that l arranged with him for course of
treatment which l began Immediately.
That very night was a turning point in
my existence, for from that time until
the present Eddie has continued to i'm
prove.
Before the course of treatment was out
ho told me that his work was accom-
plished, and that all my boy needed now
to take bis place among other boys, to
go to school, run, play, and develop
naturally. ] left DIR. Flowers office after
the most pleasant half hour in my life,
with the great tears Of joy chasing each
other down my checks. and heart over
flowing with gratitude to tho "Giver of
good gifts" who had endowed this man
with a knowledge and power that seems
almost divine in its magnitude and
strength. My son is now attending school
regularly, and holds his own, either
mentally or physically. with others of his
age.
WONDERFUL CASE.
I interviewed Mrs. Ellen d. Flanders,
of III Gorham street, Lowell, Mass. She
said:
have been examined by eighteen
physicians, representing all the different
schools, and have boen under treatment
by half Of them.
