Citizens,
Who, After Being Given Up to Die.
Have Been Restored to Perfect

The. Work OF Leading Progressive

tention OF All Thinking People.
Nothing is more fascinating than the rec
ords Of human science and skill triumphing
over sickness and disease This is particu-
larly true when the maladies which have
been mastered belong TO the catalogue popu-
larly supposed TO be incurable; and, mas
much as nothing more profoundly interests
the people than a knowledge of the progress
and the triumphs being won by the mtelli-
gent and progressive physicians in the realms
Of medicine, we take pleasure in giving be-
low the result of recent thorough invcsti-
CATION into the alleged remarkable cures Of
Dr.. II. G. Flower, the well known Boston
physician, who stands in the front ranks Of
the radical or progressive wing of the pro-
/ fession. Our investigations have been cs-
4 sentially local, as We choose TO confne our
selves to that territory over which this jour.
A nal enjoys its widest circulation, in order TO
give any person doubling the accuracy Of
our statements the opportunity 20 readily
verify or refute them by personal investiga-
ton. The cases interviewed belong almost
entirely TO that class pronounced by the
regular profession hopelessly incunblc
while the cures performed will undoubtedly
impress every one, as they did us, as being
almost too wonderful TO be true Nothing
10 our mind, is so remarkable as the strange
occult power which, according TO the testi-
mony OF all persons interviewed, is possessed
by DIR. Flower, by which he is enabled 10 in
y stantly recognize the exact condition Of the
patient, and describe TO him the progress
and symptoms Of his disease more accurately
than could have been done by the sufferer
himself.
Beginning at Memphis, Tenn, we first in.
terviewed Mr.. W. w. Bicrcc, a prominent
merchant, who stated that DR.. Flower had
successfully treated his wife and daughter,
hon Of loo
gcrous and vicious troubles; that he regarded
DIR. Flower as the greatest physician living
that he possess ed the faculty Of reading the
physical or mental condition Of of a person
as one would an open book; that he was
skilled in his profession.
COL. J. A. LINDSAY,
n wealthy capitalist and cotton planter OF
HoXie, Ark, was seen; in reply % the qucs-
ton as 10 what he knew Of DIR. Flower rs a
physician, said: 'Some years ago | was q

decline for some months my stomach would
not perform its duty, the food would not as

prominent physicians, but grew worse under

that went to him and were examined and
treated in the same manner, and all received
the benefit they sought.
DIR. ". o. JONES,
Of Charleston, Miss. one Of the most prom
inent old,school physicians Of northern
Mississippi, stated that DR.. Flower was a
phenomenon TO him. That he was &C
quainted with large number Of men, wom-
en- and children who had been treated by
DR.. Flower, after their cases had been given
up rs incurblc 10y other physicians. That
he had performed upon these people the
most marvellous cures, and that DR.. Flower
had treated him for difficulties which he
could not control himself, and had cured
him In the same wonderful manner. That

Flower could tell a sick man or woman their
troubles without being told or asking u
question was true. lie could not explain
II, but he knew Il was true. He rccited n
number Of cures performed by the doctor

LARKIS NICHOLSON,
a wealthy and retired gentleman living at
Madison Tenn, eight miles north Of Nash

one DIR. Flower, and there will never be
