The Strange Fower Possessed by Dr. R.
 c. Flower Which Enables Him to Ac-
 curately Diagnose Any Disease.
 Certainly no physician of this age, or any other age, so far as that is concerned, has such 8 rare insight into disease or such mar vicious power of diagnosing a case as Dr. Flower. The Fitchburg Sentinel referring to this wonderful gift as seen in Dr. Flowers examinations of patients, said:
 sfHIs WONDERFUL GIFT of diagnosing is to me a marvel. We are thoroughly satisfied that Dr. Flower can see and describe the inside of human beings and minutely describe the workings of any disease as easily as he can the troubles on the outer surface A writer to the Inter-Ocean who had personally interviewed many of Dr. Flowers patients thus refers to this rare power: Dr. Flower has the advantage of diagnosing over other physicians that, by his intuitional gifts which is far greater than mind reading, he is able to tell the exact condition of every patient without guessing, as all other doctors do, more or less," and by way of illustration this quoted, among others, the well-known experience of x. E. Mills, Esq, of Milford, N. H. MT. Mills writes: "The correspondent called on Dr. Flower, an entire stranger. The doctor took him by the hand for few minutes, then said:
 My dear man, should think your life was one of horror-you must feel every
 uluub6 Ol AlLO OudO d0 b1u0 yOu Alo AAo- ble to have your life terminated. Don't you know you have live animal in your stom- ach, and one that belongs to southern coun- tryp
 ''The horror stricken man replied, I was afraid had He then stated that he was in the army, during which time he frequently drank from the
 POOLS IN THE FLORIDA sWAMPs; and shortly after leaving there he felt the creature, as the doctor described it, in his stomach, and that every minute of his life perfect dread and pretty much all the time in great agony. Dr. Fowler teok charge of the case. 1t was soon apparent that the first remedy was a death blow to the creature-and soon there began to pass away scales, and bones, and pieces of feet. The man received almost immediate relief, and is to-day comparatively a well and happy man."
 One of the Philadelphia journals published a most interesting interview with Americas greatest comedian,
 JOSEPH JEFFERSON,
 which further illustrates this marvellous some thing which enables Dr. Flower to see the 1n- ternaI organism of stranger and describe the rise and progress of his disease with such ua- erring accuracy. Eliminating the many questions asked MT. Jefferson by the reporter, we give below
 THE GREAT ACTORS STORY.
 Reporter-I understand that you are a patient of Dr. R. c. Flower, ot New York city? Would you mind telling me what you think of him as a physician? The answer will be of interest to the public from the fact that Dr. Flower has 8 great reputation both in this country and in Europe and by many is regarded as the greatest healer in the world.
 MT. Jefferson-''Well, sir, I regard Dr. Flower as a very wonderful physician, powers, and I tell you frankly I like him, professionally and socially, as a physioian and as a man, and every other way. If it had not been for hiR1 I would not have been playing in Philadelphia to-day. If it lad not been for Dr. Flower, heaven only knows where and in what condition I would have been now.
 'I will tell you how, but my story must be short. I was all broken up, unable to play, or pay any attention to the stage, un- fit for business or anything else. I called upon Dr. Flower. Without asking me 8 word, the doctor took me by the hand, placed my hand to his ear, and in few minutes described my treatment and case most ccurately-described each trouble, cause, etc., and symptoms. was perfectly dumb for time. I knew. l was in the presence of man who knew my exact con dition, who could see at glance the interior as we'll as the exterior of man, and I felt that he was master of the situation though all help sought elsewhere had failed. We'll, I put myself under Dr. Flowers treat ment. I began to improve at the very be- ginning, and at the end of g course of three months treatment will say never felt better in y>life. Way back in my boy hood days was never healthier than I am to-day"
 What this power is we cannot say, but OCT tain it is that Dr. Flower can, andpdoes, diag nose diseases in manner decidedly different from those of other physicians. The old school doctor asks his patient all manner of questions and then guesses at the trou- ble. Dr. Flower asks no questions, but tells the invalid exactly how he feels, de- seribes the origin of the trouble, the con- dition of the organs affected as readily as he could describe the color of their eyes and hair, and herein certainly lies the se- cret, to great extent, of his wonderful sue cess. He does not work in the dark, to him it is no guess work, his treatment is not ex- perimental.
