The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1886-03-06

! inclinations and tastes inclined him
toward New England, and especially
Boston; and he finally decided to
make this city his future home.
There were many limitations that
he would not succeed in Boston as he
had in New York; that, while New
York was a large city, it was cosmO-
/ politan; while Boston, the Athens of
the New World, was a staid, conserya-
tive city Of solid, conservative, curious
men and women, set in their methods,
and who seldom changed.
He bad scarcely settled in this city
when his Offices were crowded with
/ patients; in a few months he had more
| than he and a dozen assistants could
do. His patients filed New England,
his practice rolled westward and south
ward, his fame has spread throughout
the world, and his name has become
/ household word
The Chicago Times, one of the great
est daily journals in the world, in
speaking OF DR.. Flower, editorially, in
its issue Of February 10, 1884, said:
"No physician of modern times has
made so profound a sensation in his
century, or ever, in so short number
of years or at 50 early q period of his
life, encircled the world with his fame
or achieved by his actual works so
large measure OF professional renown
in his own country. Though not in
competition-m less in antagonism
with the legitimate and recognized
profession of medicine in the United
States, and Of other foreign and civil
lied nations where his treatment has
been applied by correspondence, and
where his name and almost preternat-
ural skill, though less familiar than in
America, are yet widely known, there
| is vet no question that the established
and authenticated cases OF his most
absolutely successful treatment OF
many thousands of invalids who had
been the despair OF all contemporary
skill-as in his well-known, rapid,
complete and final cure in numberless
instances Of seated nervous ailments,
heart disease, rheumatism, and con-
sumption of long standing, and in
all forms of chronic derange-
ment of the vital functions, where
the patients, many OF them
prominent members of society, had
been formally given over by the pro-
! fession as hopeless, beyond the reach
! of human remedies-there is little
question but that his happy prestige
OF 'life-saving' where the profession
have admitted failure, has made the
genius of Dr. Flower an objectof envy
with too many physicians, even of his
own school. But the recognition OF
his matchless skill, his wholly unpar-
allelled success, and of his eminent
services to humanity, have been too
universal TO admit of any professional
or non-professional disparagements of
his modes of treatment. Throughout
Massachusetts and New England there
is to-day no physician in general
practice more sought by the profession
for consultation in trying and extreme
cases than DIR. X. c. Flower"
From the Chicago Inter Ocean: "a
few months ago Il Western banker
called on Dr. Flower to see if he would
90 some 600 miles to see his daughter,
A YOUNG LADY WITH CONSUMPTION,
"What will you charge?" said the
banker. 1.-TWO thousand dollars" re-
piled DIR. Flower. TOO much, said
the old man. "My dear sir" said DR..
Flower, "my time will be worth much
more than that at my office. will
miss near hundred patients If | go
with you; and my expenses, which
are very great, go on here just the
same" "Well, l have come after you,
and cannot go home without you"
replied the gentleman. DIR. Flower
reached the bankers house the next
afternoon. After making careful ex-
animation, he stated that it was his
opinion that he could cure her, and, in
the language of the old banker, that
announcement was the first sound of a
ioy-bell heard in his house for many
day, for every physician whom he had
consulted had the opinion that there
was no help for her. DIR. Flower COM
menced treating her, and continued to
do so up TO about three weeks ago,
when he dismissed her cured woman.
"Dr. Flower is deeply engaged in
his work, and the interest he takes in
his patients is like unto that which a
father takes in his children. He is
especially noted for his candor in al
ways telling his patients just what he
thinks as regards their case.
His books show that at this time he
has the following number OF patients
in the different States;
