From the opening sentences of n little
book published by Dcland IL Barta of
this city, and entitled DIR Il. c. Flower
of Boston, Mass Who is he. What is
he doing. His miraculous cures. His
work as a physician" we extract the
following;
For some years DR. II. C. Flower has
startled the eastern world, from time to
time, by performing what have seemed
miraculous or supernatural cures. One
writer in describing DIR. Flower 5
triumph in the sick room, says: "Sick
ness Is toy in his hands; in most
phenomenal way he sheds light into the
darkened eye, life into the dying form,
and robs the sick room of its sufferer and
coffin of its prey"
DIR. Flower has been called to consult
over important and bad cases from the
Rockies to the Chesapeake, from Canada
is seen in desperate cases, and his
mghtiest feats and most miraculous
cures at the dcath.bed itself.
DIR. FLOWER

size, very large head He is hard stu
dent, deepthinker, man of remarkably
quick perception and ntuitlonal faculty
which are said to be marvellous
DR. Flower by birth, is a Western man.
He transferred his practice to the east
some years ago, since when be has made
Il most remarkable record. To better
describe the rise of his eastern practice,
we quote from the combined History of
Edwards, Lawrence and Wabash coun-
ties, of Illinois," published by j. 5, Nc.
Donough d Co, of Philadelphia, which
is history of the English settlement of

England, (the grandfather of DR.. K. c.
Flower. We quote from pages 226 and
221, which is an extract from the Bio.
graphical history of the young doctor.
BIOGRAPHY
ellis practice drifted largely to the
eastward and the doctor finally deter
mined to move to the great cities OF the
east, where he could more successfully
operate his almost supernatural healing
powers. In accordance with these feel.
ings, he sold out his institute and trans.
ferrcd his practice to Philadelphia and
New York. From this on his practice
became very great. His cures were SO
numerous and so phenomenal, that he
became wonder in the east. Always
anxious to 1--we in Boston, and many at
fractions calling HIM to the Hub, he gave
up his beautiful residence on Fifth
avenue, New York, and transferred his
practice in May, 1892, to the Athens of
America.
I'm Boston he has built up practice
which is said by many to be the largest
in the world. His offices are some dis
tance from his residence, and under no
circumstances will he mingle business
with the pleasure of his home.
"A phenomenal feature in his practice
is his method of diagnosing diseases.
He never asks patient his trouble, but
the instant he takes the hand of a sick
person, he tells most accurately the dis
ease in all its ramifications. This phe
nomenal phase of his practice has brought
to him thousands upon thousands of
patients, and it is claimed that out of up
wards of one hundred thousand examlna-
tions he has never made "a mistake.
DR.. Flower attained such reputation
in his profession that his opinion is
sought in bad cases all over the world.
His advice has brought him thousands of
dollars in many instances. A big price,
some one will say. Yes, but 1t was the
pivot upon which turned life and death
to follow it was to get well.
When the Rev. +. Nj. McSimmons of
Ontario brought his wife to consult Dr.
Flower for lung and heart trouble,
nounced her incurable, he stated that he
was very uneasy about his wife, and
after the doctor had examined her he
would like him to see if he had any
troubles, us he so easily tired. II can
cure your wife," the doctor said, "but
unless you have the best of treatment
yourself, you will live but few months"
The Rev. McSinlmons neither believed
the statement that his wife could be
cured, nor that his own life was in dan
ger, but as n last chance he had his wife
take treatment, saying that when she
was cured he might attend TO himself
In few months she was well as she is
to-day, but alas, within the same short time
the husband was laid beneath the sod.
The leading journals of the country
have endorsed DR.. Flower as but few are
endorsed We make few quotations as
n sample of what hundreds of the daily
and weekly journals have said:
"Dr. Flower is deeply engaged in his
work, and the interest he takes in his
patients is like unto that which father
takes in his children. He is especially
noted for his candor in always telling
his patients just what he thinks as

the following number of patients in the
