Ben, get THAT man to see Your sister at all
lazards-make no delay, don't think of
the cost; if you can get him before she is
dead, he will save her"
"Ah, me- | am afraid it is too late. The
doctor says she can live hut few days that
her trouble is tibroid tumor, that they cam
not operate upon her, and that she is at her
life'S end.
''You stop and see him ON your way to
New Jersey. tell you he can surely save
yours sisters life l trave |, as YOU Doubt
tess know, continually through this State
and New Hampshire, and | have seen hun
dreds OF people, or some near fri end of theirs
| whom he has cured when given up as incur
| able by the regular physicians, and aban-
doned to die. | am sure | can find you hun
dreds of people in this State cured by this
! man when given up to die of cancers, tn
mors, consumption, and paralysis. These
troubles he seems to cure i'll the most mar
velous and fascinating way"
| The first speaker was E. II. Humphrey, of
| New York, travelling salesman, and known
| in almost every nook and corner of the State
| of Maine and New Hampshire. The second
speaker was Benz. J. Walters, of Scranton,
| Pa, who was en route from his temporary
home in Bangor, Me, to attend his sister in
her dying hours. The conversation was in
the fine passenger depot at Portland, Me.
Humphrey was cool and deliberate fell
low, while Walters showed every sign OF
being of ID nervous and eXcitabe nature. He
frequently wrung his hands as he walked up
and down the platform waiting for the train
A dozen times did he light ii cigar and as
many times threw it away, seemingly not
| knowing What lie did.

''Tell me Of some Of these cures it will at

ing for the train.
"Well, Ben. you have been living for
some months in Bangor. Your business has
often taken you to Mattawaml1eag. De You
know Geo, w. Smith, of Mattawankea@?
"Do You mean the poStmaster?' Yes |
tDo you know Charles a. Smith, his
hrother?"
II am not acquainted With him, but |
know who he is. | know he is one Of the
most prominent and wealthiest men in east
ern Maine, and that his home is one of the
most palatia i'll the State
'Ges, that is right. Now | will tell you
about him. Some Years ago Mr., Smith had
trouble with his mouth and tongue,-sting-
ing, shooting pains in the tongue and burn
ing in the mouth. He tried numerous doc
tors, at home and abroad, but under all
kinds of treatment he grew steadily worse.
He gave up his business and devoted his
entire time to II search for health. His dis
ease developed into fungus, or IA vicious
phase of cancer. He was given up as incur
able, gave up all hope himself, and began to
rapidly run down, He suffered the most eX-
cruciating pains day and night A friend ad-
vised him, as very last and final resort, TO
write to Dr. Il. e. Flower, of Boston (who is
the DIR. Flower | have been telling YOU
about He did 50, and got from the doctor
pamphlet which everybody should read.
l believe it is sent free, on receipt OF a two
cent stamp. Upon reading this pamphlet,
Mr.. Smith saw the dawn of light, the glim-
mer of returning life, and resolved, difficult
as the task might be, to go and see this doc
tor.
Well, to make my story short, when he en-
tered into the presence of DIR. Flower, the
doctor (without asking him a question about
HIMSELF told him his trouble in detail :
when it started, what brought it on, and all
about his past life. Mr.. Smith dumb
founded. He knew he was in the presence
of a man who could read his interior condi-
ton as he would an open book. He placed
himself under DIR. Flowers treatment (this,
| | believe, was in January laSt. Today he
is we'll mal-entirely cured. Mr. Smith is
prominent il Masonic circles, as he mas been
in municipal and political work. He is a
,,f Il Il,
for the truth of what have told YOU.
"Anorher case in Mattawamleag is that of
Mrs. Wellington Ingalls,. She is most in
teresting, intellectual, and popular lady, for
| years teacher.
'She was cured by Dr. Flower of dropsy
and heart-disease, when every hope had been
abandoned and she was as helpless as babe.
| "Charlts Rush, of the same town, Was
| cured of consumption, coupled with It most
serious liver and stomach trouble. He had
! wasted away to nearly a skeleton, White
| food of any kind distressed him. On Mr.. Rush
the Doctor rapidly put flesh, Just Us he rap
| idly reduced the flesh of the oVer-hurtlened
4 Mrs Ingalls,
II am awfully interested, Edward, in what
you have told me. and if the cures perform
| ed by DIR. Flower are permanent, it would
seem that le Yields a charmed >ceptcr the
! touch of which brings health
Don't have any Worry about the perlna-
! nency OF his cures. | know patients cured
/ by DR.. Flower Years ago who are as he thy
to-day as in youth. | will give you an illus
! traton up here at Norway Mrs. j. L. Horn,
/ wife of the leather king of the upper conn
| try, was cured by DR.. Flower seven or eight
wears ago of a most malignant tbrod or can
cerous tumor. after two or three operations
and after being abandoned by the physicians
as hopelessly lneurable, but the finest spec
| linen of health since you ever saw. a Miss
| Smith, of the same town, was cured by DR.,
| Flower six or seven years ago of tumor and
| dropsy, after being given up 10y the doctors
| as incurable. The growth great that
| by some it was claimed it would outweigh
the patient. Everybody in Norway talks Of
| DIR. Flower, and if a man in that town has a
dangerous disease, he is AS sure to write or
| go to the Doctor the birds are to migrate
southward at the approaching blast of win
ter
AT this point the train backed into the de-
pot The two men shook hands, and Mr..
| Walters boarded the train for Boston Our
| reporter, who had listened to this conversa-
ton, took the same train and seat next the
one occupied by the New Jersey bound pas
senger. A travellers acquaintance sprang
up between them. and with permission he
accompanied Mr.. Walters to Dr.. Flowers of
flee, $50 Columbus Ave, Boston. To his
great disappointment he was told that DR..
Flower was in the Southwest. However,
Mr.. Walters obtained DR.. Flowers address,
and Immediately sent him a telegram giving
brief description of his sisters case. He
received an answer from DIR. Flower the
