stated that he had known the doctor for
years past, and that a truer gentleman
ADLER physician, or greater philanthropist
never existed. In explanation of the
above enconium, he said that ne was in
timately acq TAINTED with Doctor Flower
and his work, and had been in position
to observe closely the doctor undel
every phase of his career; from a com
paratlve poor man he had, in the past
eight years, by his unparalleled success
as physician, built for himself as il
were, living and breathing monument
in the shape of thousands who blessed
him and reverenced him as their pre-
server, a
BULWARK AGAINST WHICH EVEN THE WAVES
OF DEATH BEAT IN VAIN,
quell' by the mighty power of his scien
tltio knowledge and control of disease
Now" said Mr.. Hubbard, "the majority
of physicians will tell you that Docto
Flower is a quaok. This is all boIh. Tit
whole secret is they are jealous of him anC
his success, and while never having had oc
casion to require his services myself, yet
have had numerous friends treated by the
doctor, several of whom were considered
past all earshly telp, and in every instan, u
he wrought cure. Talk to me of quack
eryi Why, how could he obtain and re-
tain the unlimited confidence OF hi:
patients unless they derived positive
benefit from his treatment?
DO YOU SUPPOSE TEE THOUSANDS he HAS
TREATED WOULD sTULTIFY THEMSELVES
AND BEAR FALSE WITNESS?
The idea is preposterous. Why" said
Mr.. Hubbard, you should visit his offices
in Boston, crowded all the time with rich
and poor. Unless you come early and stay
late you will have little opportunity OF
seeing the doctor, as first come first
served with him; he treats his patients all
alike"
@. Maru .hean, prominent merchant
of San Antonio, said 1t was a pleasure for
him to speak of Doctor Flower. That the
doctor has treated his daughter with re-
markable success-her difficulty beng
throat and bronchial troubles, including a
numerous growth in the throat. That other
physicians advised an operation, that
Doctor Flower advised against it; and
that without an operation Doctor Flower
had entirely cured her; and that at this
time she was one of the healthiest women
in the state. That the doctor had also
cured him of a complication of diseases.
That he was known to great number of
men and women being treated by Doctor
Flo 8er, and cured 10 seemingly miracu-
lous way, when by other physicians they
had been given up to die. That hs re-
garded Doctor Flower as the most won
derful man and wonderful doctor of this
state.
JOEL HUEY, OF oORs1oANA, TEXAS, A WEALTHY
BANKER
and president of the Texas Loan and
Trust company, stated that Doctor Flower
had performed wonders in his case. That
upwards of two years ago he consulted
Doctor Flower, his trouble Being consti-
tutional debility, produced largely by the
breaking down of the stomach, and its
failure TO digest or as5imulate the food.
That he had been and was, when he Wis
tied DR.. Flower, great sufferer; that life
was an actual burden and misery. That
Doctor Flower described his troubles bet
ter than he could have told him. That he
placed himself Immediately under the
doctors care, and that Doctor Flower had
performed in his case q most marvellous
cure. He considered himself in eveyr
way well man. He says he has visited
Doctor Flower at his home in Boston,
which is one of the most beautiful homes
in the world, and that his offices were al.
ways crowded with PATIENTS; and that,
without doubt, Doctor Flower is the great
est living physician to-day in the world.
GsN. j. W. BARNES, OF ANDERSON, TEX,
stated that some years ago, while in Wash
ington on some state business, his at
tention was called to DR. r. @. Flowers
miraculous cures, and being a confirmed
invalid and great sufferer from kidney
disease, chronic rheumatism and nervous
pros ration, he determined to consult the
doctor, and accordingly visited him. He
tells the same wonderful story about the
examination they all tell. Says he placed
himself under Doctor Flowers care, and
in few months was entirely cured; that
he had enjoyed since most perfect health;
that many physicians had pronounced his
disease incurable before he consulted
Doctor Flower; that he had sent many of
his friends to Doctor Flower, whom he
had treated with the same success; that he
regarded the doctor as the most wonder
full and skilled ply stefan on the earth.
The general looks the picture of health.
Though 20 years of age, he superntends
his vast estate. He is one of the few who
made Texas a state, and has frequently
represented the state and nation in filling
the most responsible positions of trust.
GEN. j. s. MDoNALD, OF ANDERSON, TEX.
a lawyer of extensive practice, and promi-
nent in political and professional circles,
stated that two years ago he was at deaths
door with whsS his physicians called tuber-
culosis of the bowels, associated with ner-
vous prostration and great depression;
that they had given his case up as incur
able, and allotted to him but few weeks
of life; that, upon the urgent solicitation
of General Barnes, he went to Houston to
consult Doctor Flower, upon his visit to
that city. He described with great accu-
racy Doctor Flowers marvellous examina-
ton, which he believed was nothing less
than divine. 81 placed myself" said the
general, Immediately under the doctors
care, and when 1 went out of his p resence
l did SO with my head up and confidence
in my soul which had not known for
years. Doctor Flower doctored me for
some months, and wrought in me a per-
feet cure. He put me back to youth,
vitality and vigor, raising my weight
from one hundred and thirty-tive to one
hundred and seventy pounds. 1 do not
believe there is another such a physician
on the earth. There is but one Doctor
Flower; it is not likely there will ever be
another
