well as her physicians, regarded for some
time as incurable DIR. FLOWER with such
skill removed the three large cancers, as

tell you, sir, he is remarkable man. To
come into his presence is health to touch
his hand is cure DIR. Flowers patients
arc numbered by thousands. This may
sound loud, but it is true. He has thousands
Of patients all the time.
These, Mr.. Editor are facts given in an
unvarnished way; this is an exhibition Of
| his powers. Call it what you may, but when
it comes to man standing in the presence
| ofa dying patient, all eaten up and racked
| with pain, making prophecy as to the fu-
ture of the patient, and then go to work
and fulfill his own prophecy, which is ap.
| parently the changing of natural and in
| evitablo events, say when it comes to a
| man doing this constantly, it calls for the
honest investigation Of the public, rather
| than sneering criticisms from professional
rivals"

| vast and wonderful accumulation of facts
| pertaining to Dir. FLOWER and his cures.
They are facts, cold solid facts, and they
are as startling as q voice from death.
From the crowds which throng his spa.
cious offices, No. 1862 Washington street,
corner of Chester Park, you might infer
thar all the sick of tho world were seeking
| at his hands relief Whether the theory Of
many, that DIR. FLOWER holds the key of
| life,' is true or not,
This In True,
| that he changes In almost miraculous
| manner the sick k-bed into healthy couch,
| robs death of its spoil by saving annually
| thousands from premature grave. His
happy patients thus mysteriously cured
| live in every land, and upon these joyful
| homes the sun never sets.'
| The rest of the book is devoted to Dr.
Flowers methods of treatment; of his oc.
casiOnal journeys South and West for the
| purpose of seeing such patients as need a
| professional interview, yet are unable to
| make the journey to Boston; Also num-
bcr of testimonials, representing many of
tho prominent and leading characters in
| the different professions and business of tho
East. Among these testimonials we notice
the strong Endorsement of j. Willard Rice,
| OF Boston, eX-MayOr OF the city, and brother
of Governor Rice and head of tho great
manufacturing firm of Rice, Kendall & Co.
Mr.. Rice says 81 have known DR..

| MANY Remarkable Cures,
both of ladies and gentlemen, effected by
DIR. FLOWER, whom / unhestatingly de-
clare to be wonderful physician, an ele-
| CANT gentleman, and a valued friend"
From the careful reading of this book, it
| will seem that DIR. FLOWER held the key
| to life and DEATH, at least in many instances
when hope everywhere else had failed.
4 That his ability to detect disease, let it be
ever so subtle and hidden is more than tho
natural, and his power to cure the most
| hopeless cases, even in deaths shadows
smacks strongly Of the supernatural.
Though in justice to DIR. FLOWER, we
should say he does not claim there is any
thing supernatural about his work. Bear
| ing upon this subject, we will quote DIR.
| FLOWERS own words Supernatural
| No. sir; make no such claim. Such be-
longs to the readers of the divine" Then,
| Doctor how do you account for tho cures
you are performing daily ~ "Your ques-
tion is one ! would rather not answer.

make the blind see, the deaf hear and the
lame walk, and that rescue from DEATH
| jaws the sick and dying when abandoned
by all others, and the last vestigo of faith
has died upon the altar of blasted hone, is
fact known to tens of thousands who are
| living witnesses Of these cures"
