preaching from many recent sclenllnc
discoveries is instantaneous and safe
travel and instantaneous and perma-
nent cure of disease.
Forty or sixty miles all hour will
not longer satisfy the ambition ofthis
age. "Drop nickle in the slot and
you are there 1000 miles away" is the
method of travel Americans are now
looking for. Quick cures, permanent
cures, cures of the once supposed in
durable diseases are what the sick OF
the country are demanding at the
gates OF Science and at the hands OF
the great specialists and healers OF
this age.
More progress has been made in
medicine the past twenty-five years
than in the four hundred years pre-
ceding. And the profession which
has always been one of experiments
seems destined soon to become one Of
science, capable of coping with airy
disease, aud from which all mistakes
will be eliminated. The greatest i'm
provement the most important dis
cOveries have always been made by
specialists.
Among the noted specialists OF this
country there is one who in his pecu'
liar specialties seems to excel in the
most wonderful way. He seems TO Do
the master of diseases and the long
considered incu able diseases seem 10
be toys in his hands. lhe Eastern
and Northern press have abOunded
with his miraculous cures tor years.
The wealthy from all parts of the
world have sought and found help at
his hands. The greatest journals OF
this country and Europe are constant
ly recording his cures, which read
like fairy tales aad would vie with
ancient miracles. Thousands seek his
aid every year from all parts Of the
earth. They come to him sick and go
away we'll, they come lame and go
away cured. He has built costly in
situations and large sauitariums in
fact, seems to do in the perfecting of
his practice whatever his heart in
clines to. We refer to DR.. II. G. Flower
of Boston, Mass, though the reader
by this time will surmise of whom we
speak.
The late Prof. r. F. Humiston, who
for years was professor in the Cleve'
land Medical College said, in an arti'

seen him go into the death chamber
where all was darkness, tears and
sobs, and in few moments change
the CLASSY eye, the icy lip and limbs
into health, smile and warmth. He
possesses the intuitional ability OF
telling diseases without being told
anything. / have seen him make
hundreds of examinations without

been able to ascertain how he makes
these cures. He says there is moth.

seem to take new leases of life, and the
most complicated diseases seem to be

the East and North. the home OF this
great specialist, we have extensively
