The physician who took Antonio Casen-

DR.. r. c. Flower in 1883, described to me
the first interview between DIR. Flower and
the Princes wife: You need not tel me

Without delay the Doctor filed a hvDoder-

manganate of potash, thymol and refined

weeks, when every trace Of the cancerous

| cOnstitutionally for eight months, from

The minister to the United States from

| Boston was inspired of God to cure the sick
when all other efforts failed; that he and
