INSTANCES, from the thross of death with
some malignant disease, they were
isnat shed and speedily cured. For years
the public have heard from time to time
of his miraculous cures, but in these cases
they are cures enacted in our own state
and close to our homes and of the best
people of our state. Here is what some
of them say
NIB. A. R. HABICHT, A WEALTHY BANKER,
of Austin, Texas, stated that he had been
great sufferer for years from constitu :
tional debility, nervous depression, and
severe neuralgic headaches. That he
treated extensively with the leading ply
sicians of Texas and tried change of eli
mate without benefit. Finally, as last
resort, upon solicitations of friends, he
went to see DR.. R. @. Flower. To his
establishment, the doctor told him all his
trouble in detail without asking any ques-
tions. He placed himself under the doc
tors care, and after course of treatment
his headaches ceased, his diseased nerves
we're entirely restored to health, his vital
ity and vigor returned, and he considered
himself well man in every respect He
says Doctor Flower has no equal in the
profession, and that as man he is one of
the most fascinating personalities he has
ever met. Mr.. Habicht cited number of
Doctor Flowers cures, among them that
. of paralytic man who had not walked
for years. Doctor Flower told him
frankly that he could not promise him
anything, but would do the best he could
for him. He was under the DOCTORS
treatment about a year, and the last he
heard from the man he was up and walk
ing about as well as ever.
Another case was that of his wife's
mother, Mrs. Reed, who had been bedTid-
complication of troubles; that, after few
months treatment, she was so thoroughly
cured that she resumed her household du
ties, we'll woman; that she regarded her
cure as almost miraculous, and her graft
tude to the doctor was very great.
Mr.. j. E. Carleton, a prominent business
man of Columbus, Texas, in answer to the
question as to what he knew of DR.. R. G.
Flower, replied:
" REGARD HIM AS THE GREATEST PHYSICIAN
OF THE AGE WITHOUT A PEER.

pronounced incurable by the leading ply
sicians of Galveston and San Antonio. As

tions; and this is the way he diagnoses all
his patients diseases. 1 tell you, sir, he

other physicians given up as incurable, in
short time thoroughly cured. His dag
nostic powers are miraculous; his cures
are like miracles. don't believe there is
another such healer in the world"
Mrs. S. E. Taylor, a remarkably intelli'
gent lady of Columbus, Tex, stated that
previous to her consulting Doctor Flower
She had been great sufferer for three years
or better with a severe form of dyspepsia
that her difficulty finally developed into
a lung trouble also; that she lost over thirty
pounds of flesh in few months; that she
was unable to assimilate what little food
she did eat; that she had been treated by
some of the leading physicians of Texas
without any benefit; that finally, in dis
pair, as last resort, she consulted Doctor
Flower. Here she tells the same marvel
lous story of the DEBTORS examination:
'Without asking me dozen questions,
as oSher doctors had done, he told me all
about my troubles from first to last with
out asking me question. put myself
under his treatment. In few months

perfect health ever since. He restored
my weight from one hundred and six
to one hundred and forty pound. be,
lieve him to be the greatest doctor living.
Mrs. W. A. Pettus, of Goliad, Rex, wife
of one of the llrgest rauchmen in Texas,
stated she had been an invalid for twenty
five years prior to her treatment with DR..
R. G. Flower; that during this time she
had been treated by all the leading ply
