FATAL PL4G UE
with Which China is Afflicted.

MORE than 1900 deaths have occurred
since June in Hong Kong from the fatal
plague with which China is afflicted. Only
a very small percentage of those who are
attacked recover. Charles DENLY, Jr., sec
rotary of legation at Picking, says the
plague has caused great uneasiness, and
every precaution has been taken to prevent
its introduction into districts not yet in
fected Great difficulty arises, however,
from the utter inability of the Chinese to
understand and their unwillingness to COM
ply with the most elementary principles Of
sanitation. In Hong Kong the new cases
have numbered between twenty and fifty
per day.

DIR. Il. c, Flower Of Boston and His
Staff Physicians.

Professor O. II. Schaler, inspeaking OF DIR.
r. G. Flower, says He has enjoyed for
years the largest practice of any living
physician. His charges have been dozen
times as high as other physicians, yet, in the
face of these facts, he is unable to see half
of the people who come from all parts of the
globe to sec him. Through his perfected
system of staff physicians, he is able now
to treat a patient living thousand miles
from Boston exactly the same as If the
patient lived at his home and could see him
personally" Professor Schaler closes his
long article as follows: 81 have investi-
gated DR.. r. G. Flowers practice from every
scientific standpoint, and am frank to say
that in the treatment and cure of chronic
diseases, of desperate cases, cases given up
as incurable, he cures more OF these cases
than any physician the world has ever
known. 1t is in the treatment of these
desperate, bad cases, he makes his most
wonderful cures. Nearly all his patients
are first examined by staff physician, but
from the day Of the examination to the close
of the treatment, each patient is under DR..
Flowers care and attendance"
