which would frequently throw her into

DR.. Flower. He described her troubles for
the past twenty-five years without asking
q question. He did not promise to cure,
but said he could help her. After taking
his treatment for some months, her dis
ease was SO thoroughly removed that she
assumed her household duties and went
about like anybody else. She can now
eat anything and Is In excellent health.

years ago; that she WAS In . very critical

Mrs. j. F. Downs, residence cor. En-
voy and Beaumont Sts.t Dallas, Tex,
tells . most marvellous story Of DR..
Flowers treatment, Of her case. She says
she had been In bed most OF the time q

years; that she has been treated by all
the leading physicians of the city and
state withSno benefit whatever; that she

that her difficulties were nervoue, muscu-

s16erings were nothing less than agony !;
that her husband prevailed upon DR..
Flower to come to the house and see her,
as she was unable to get to the hotel to
see him (this WAS during DR.. Flowers
visit to Dallas two years ago. /;
that as soon as DR.. Flower approached

In Interviewing these patients of Doc
tor Ft0Nsr, we had Ia double object in
view, hSv1pg member Of our family sick
with most dangerous disease, the case
having been pfaneunced incurable. We
were loath to abandon further effort, and
having heard frequeqtly Of DR.. Flowers
marvellous cures, we hoped, yet doubted,
for the country is fun Of unreliable
claims. Not to be deceived, we de-
termined to investigate sss

and talk face to face with those who knew
him IS patients, and knew him best. We
have done so, and have accumulated evil
dence enough Of his seemingly miracu-
lous work to make book of 1000 psges
as interesting as the ARABIAN Nights"
2. We felt 1t our duty to cur readers
and to the Texas public to ascertain If
the claims made for DR.. Flower by his
friends were true or false and publish to
the world the exact facts as gathered.
This we have done. Our feelings orig
inally against the doctor, Che lived in an
other state), are now most favorable.
Such an array of testimony WAS never
gathered, to our knowledge, in any one
case on any one question in this great
commonwealth of Texas. Especially did
we feel that it was our duty to gather the
facts shout DR.. Flower and his claims,
| because he occasionally visits Texas
professionally; because he is now

Boston, said to be most magnificent in
the world, where he will gather, through
his practice. the sick from all parts of the
earth. II the claims made for him were
true, we feel that the sick of the world
should know It; il false, they should be
exposed. This publication may cause
many of the Doctors patients to get let
ters Of inquiry, and we trust that for the
interest OF the sick they will answer them
Is cheerfully as we publish these state
ments, for life and health are sweet to
the dying everywhere.
We might give the testimony of nearly
two hundred others, but space forbids.
The statements OF o thousand others
could not strengthen this array of the

To AVm up the whole matter in few
words, the following are the facts: 1st

cures diseases In short and seemingly
miraculous way, and that his creates,
