DIAGNOSING DISEASE
BLINDFOLDED.
Remarkable Career in the Cure Of
the Sick.


O0is tt0DoTb u. OlCOLt OF LONDON was
the guest of the Chester club Of Phila-
delphia the evening when the subject
for discussion happened to be our great
men. And as Col Olcott's mission in
this country was to Investigate the his
tory Of the different types Of great
Americans, he was called upon to re-
spend 81 will respond AS to the physi-
Clans" said the Colonel in his English
brogue.
my idea, gentlemen. Of a great physi-
clan is physician who Is capable, and
who does great things, man of great
originality, quick in perception, cool in
demeanor, strong IN his convictions,
forcible in the presentation of his belief
and unbiased by sectarian prejudice,
whether 1t be in medicine, religion or
politics- The physician I refer to is GER
tainly wonderful physician as well as a
remarkable personality.
"He seems to possess a great intuition,
which enables him to diagnose all dis
eases and describe these diseases with
out being told anything and without
asking any questions better than the
patient can tell him. / have seen him in
more than 20 cases blindfolded, and in
this condition tell every person their
diseases IN detail without asking a ques-
ton. Consequently, when he doctors a
patient he doctors him for the right dis
ease instead of experimenting with him
I have seen him more than q dozen
times while thoroughly blindfolded read
a book as readily as If he had the use OF
his eyes. l don't pretend TO say how he
does these things for 1 don't know, but 1
do know that he does them.
"He examines thousands of sick peo-
pie every year, and tells each and every
one their trouble without asking ques-
ton. Now it seems to me that q man
who can read the inside of a sick person
as he would an open book withOu. ask
ing any questions is far more capable of
treating the patient than the doctor who
has to guess at the disease from what
the patient may tell him.
ss1he gentleman / refer to is DR.. r Q.
Flower of Boston, Mass You have all
heard of him many times lie has thous-
ands of patients under his care These
patients are distributed all over your
United States and in other countries.
Wherever DR. Flower goes crowds gather
to see him of the incurable sick from
every part of the world. Inquiry at ths
following hotels-Riggs House, Wash
iagton, d. c.; Exchange Hotel, Richmond
Va; kimbau House, Atlanta, Ga; St.
James Hotel, Jacksonville, Fla; fremont
House, Galveston, Tex; Menger House,
San Antonio Tex; Richelieu Hotel,
Little Rock, Ark; Guyosa Hotel. Mem
phis, Tenn; Gaulr House, Louisville, KY;
Beers Hotel, St Louis, No.; Throop
Hotel Topeka Kansas; Plankington
Hotel, Milwaukee, Wis; Palmer House,
Chicago, Ill; Cadillac Hotel, Detroit
Mich. Denison Hotel, Indianapolis,
Ind; Grand Hotel, Cincinnati, O.-and
the Continental Hotel in this city have
all brought the answer that whenever
DIR. R C. Flower visits their hotels great
crowds of the sick and suffering come to
see him, and that the people who come
to see him are generally the most
prominent and wealthy people of the
al
business and professional, of life; and as
far as any expressions have been heard,
they have been that DR. r. G. Flower has
cured is curing them, and that he
told them their diseases without asking
a question.
.sThe physician who took Antonio
Casenero, the Cuban prince, and his
wife to see DR.. r c. Flower in 1888, de-
scribed to me the first interview between
Dr. Flower and the Princes wife: You
need not tell me anything said the doc
tor he took the woman's hand in his
and looked directly into her eyes for a
minute. 1t is my opinion said the doc
tor slowly, that you were bitten by
vicious cat some years ago and came
very near losing your life from the in
jury Shortly after this occurred you re-
ceived a blow on your left breast Soon
a lump appeared This in time was pro-
nounced a cancer and you had it cut out
1t soon returned with four or Eve other
growths. and are under the arm. You
have had at least two, and / believe three
operations. Your case is now considered
by physicians generally as incurable.'
You are right in every particular
said the woman, sbut how did
you know these things.' Never
mind how I know them. I see you
now have seven or eight growths coming
in the breast around the edges where the
operations were performed and two IN
der the arm. Your disease has now reach
ed a state where you are in constant suf-
fering.' Without delay the doctor filed
a hypOdermic needle with a mixture of
lachesis, permanganate of potash, thy
mol and refined green tincture of stillen-
ger, and made an injection into each
growth. These injections he repeated
every third day for three weeks, when
every trace of the cancerous growths
were gone. He treated the system con
sritutionally for eight months, from
which time Mrs. Casenero has enjoyed
perfect health
"The minister to the United States
from one of the leading South American
republics told my worthy friend on my
left that he believed DR.. r. Z. Flower, Of
Boston, was inspired Of God 10 cure the
sick when all other efforts failed
that he and his family were
patients of DR.. R. c. Fower, and
his treatment of their cases was

of Ohio, in which he says: If miracles
have ever been performed in modern
times then DR.. R Q. Flower of Boston per

anime scores of patients without asking

tail his trouble / have seen men and
women sick unto death with cancers and
tumors. after given up by the leading
