little investigation into the practice of
DR.. r. c. Flower of Boston will satisfy the
most sceptical that he enjoys the largest and
most successful medical practice in the world.
The following extracts from late article on
some recent remarkable cures must be of
special interest to the sick of Maine.
Not only has DR.. Flower this enormous
practice in Massachusetts, New York, the
north, west and south, but he has equally as
great practice in all the New England
States. In the State of Maine alone he has
over 1000 patients The reporter happened
to meet some of his Maine patients few
days ago; this is what they said:
Mrs. Augusta Waterman, East Auburn,
Me-, said: Il had been treated by six or
seven physicians of this city, Livermore
Falls, and Portland, and by them given up
as incurable. / had canker almost cancer
of the stomach, besides enlargement of the
liver, and also nervous prostration. l was
so weak when went to see DR.. Flower /
could hardly walk across the room without
help. was nearly skeleton; DR.. Flower
treated me five months and entirely cured
me; gained under his treatment forty-seyen
pounds
Mrs. +. M. Pingree of Norway, Me-, said
she could not speak too highly of DR.. Flow
er's skill as a physician, that he had done
great things for her in the treatment and
cure of cancerous trouble of the stomach,
and that the remarkable feature about DIR.
Flower is that he can tell any patient his
trouble without asking them question.
Marcellus Whitcomb, of Norway, Me-,
said: Il was taken to see DIR. Flower on a
sofa, had not been out of bed for three years,
unable to turn myself over My disease was
paralysis of the worst kind. A number of
prominent physicians had declared that
there was no help for me. / now sit up
every day, and with little help get around
the house. Feeling and life are returning to
my limbs / am still under his treatment
and improving rapidly; he has certainly
worked miracle in my case"
MRS. JNo. L. HORN
of Norway, Me-, said: "Ihdd cery large
internal tumor-hdd 1t removed Nth knife,
but it soon returned more malignant than
erer. and finally pronounced cancerous
tumor, and that there was no help for it. /
had the best physicians of this city and
Portland attend me until my case was de-
cided incurable. In my despair l went to
DR.. Flower of Boston, and to be brief
would say he entirely removed the tumor
without the use of the knife, in less than
eight months and without pain. This was
over four years ago, and / have been in the
best of health ever since. ! regard DIR.
Flower as the most wonderful and greatest
physician of the world. / do not believe
there ever was such map; l know dozens
of his patients who think of him as lido.
Mrs. Horne is a very prominent lady of
about fifty years of age, her husband being
one of the leading business men of the
State.

tives in Maine, said: 81 have been patient |

ach trouble, SO run down that / could sit up |

Flower. He took my case, treated me eight
months, and cured me entirely; this was
about four years ago. / have been in excel

he ever knew. That he treated and cured
