cured me entirely; this was about four years
ago. | have been in excellent health ever
since. | do not think there was ever such a
doctor in the world as he is. Many of his
cures are like miracles; he shows his great
est power when all others fail"
ALoNzo NEwcoMB,
of Newcomb's Landing, Glenburn Me-, says
DR.. Flower IS the most wonderful physician
he ever knew. That he treated and cured
his wife of most serious cancer in the
breast, also cancer trouble in the bowels; ;
that the cure was thorough. That he was
satisfied that if she had not seen Dr. Flower
when she did she would have been in her
grave today; that DR.. Flower removed those
troubles without the use of the knife and
without pain. A neighbor stated that a
friend of Mrs. Newcomb had a similar
trouble, and started with Mrs. Newcomb to
see Dr. Flower, but was persuaded on the
way to go to a physician in Bangor and
have an operation performed - which she
did, and she grew rapidly worse and soon
died.
These kind OF testimonials might be con-
cinued until hundreds had been interviewed
and all given the same testimony of the
marvellous treatment aid cures. and the
pecuharities of DIR. Flower taking patient

their troubles without asking them ques-
ton. One thing is sure, that by his success

yond doubt his ability to cure the most
malignant diseases without the use of the
knife and without pain.
