The chapter following, entitled
A MEDICAL WONDER,
leads you still farther into fascinating realms
of what seems to be miracles. Among these
startling accounts and miraculous cures is
recorded a case of a gentleman for many
years sufferer, visiting DIR. Flow

in the army, during which time he frequent

POOLS IN THE FLORIDA SWANIPS,
and shortly after leaving there he felt the
creature, as the doctor described it, in his
stomach, and that every minute of his life for
the last fifteen years she had been in perfect
dread, and pretty much all the time in great
agony. DIR. FLOWER took charge of the
case. 1t was soon apparent that the first
remedy was death-blow to the creature, and
soon there began to pass away scales and
bones and pieces of feet. The man received
almost immediate relief, and is today COM
paratlyely well and happy man.

Professionally, DR.. Flower stands very

physicians, Is pre-eminently leader. His

final distinguished Boston physician Of
forty years practice said to your CORE
slondent: I regard DR.. Flower the most
wonderful OF living physicians, and one of
the most wonderful of men. Why, sir,
have called him at different times to see
tWenty-one OF my patients after / had re-
garded them as incurable and, furthermore,
after had submitted the cases to the best
medical talent in the city, only to have
Them confirm my opinion, adding that life
could last but a short time at longest. Well,
out OF the twenty-one cases, DR.. Flower,
after his examinations, pronounced four as
lncurable. Reporter: And did they dep
yes, SIR; the longest only lived one hour and
fifty minutes. Of the other seventeen. he
said IN his Judgment they would recover if
certain treatment was observed. He sug-
gested treatment had never used, and in
some instances never heard of. l followed
the directions to the letter, and, to my sur
prise, every one of the seventeen patients
got well. | tell you, sir, there is destiny in
Dr- Flowers diagnosis of disease; he reads
the internal condition of patient the same
as you would an open book
Personally. DR.. FLOWER is exceedingly
popular, and his friends being largely of the
old, leading. and representative families of
the East, gives him great strength at his
nome. lie Is young man, having just
passed his thirtyfourth birthday, though to
look INTO his clean-shaved, smiling face you
would not judge him over Twenty-Five
He then gives a number of cures per-
formed by DR.. FLOWER, which would seem
TO vie with the miracles of Olden times: and
were 1t not for the corroborating proofs and
the parties themselves still living testify to
their truth, these seemingly extraordinary
claims would not be admissible in living
print.
He closes his thorough and critical investi-
cation of DIR. FLOWER and his practice as
follows:
4 HAVE HERE GIVEN A

pertaining to DIR. FLOWER and his cures.
They are facts, cold, solid facts. and thew

The rest of the book is devoted TO DR..
FLOWERS method of treatment; of his oeca-
slonal Journeys South and West for the pur-
pose OF seeing such patients as need a pro-
tesslonal Interview, yet are unable to make
the Journey to Boston; also, a number of tes-
tlmonlals, representing many of the promin--
ent and leading characters in the different
professions and business of the East. Among
these testimonials we notice the strong in

Mayor OF the city and brother Of Governor

MANY REMARKABLE CURES,
both of ladies and gentlemen, effected by DIR.
FLOWER, whom | unhesitatingly declare to
be wonderful physician, an elegant gentle
man and 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 every
where else had failed. That his ability to
detect disease, let it be ever so subtle and
hidden, is more than the natural, and his
power to cure the most hopeless cases, even
supernatural. Though in justice to DIR.
FLOWER, we should say he does not claim
there is anything supernatural about his
work. Bearing upon this subject, we win
tural? No. sir; make no such claim. Such
belongs to the readers of the divine" s'Then,
doctor, how do you account for the cures you
are performing daily?" 'sYour question is
one would rather not answer That | cure
where others fail, that make the blind see,
the deaf hear and the lame walk, and that /
rescue from deaths jaws the sick and dying
when abandoned by all others and the last
yestige of faith has died upon the altar of
blasted hope, is a fact known to tens of
thousands who are living witnesses of these
cures"
