And as Col oleott's mission to this country was to iuvss. Iigate the history Of the different types oi great Americ ms. he was called upon to re. spond. "I will respond as to the physicians . said the Colonel in his English brogue.
 "My idea. gentlemen. Of a great physician l is q physician who Is capable, and who dot { great things, a man of great originality quick in perception, cool in demeanor, strcrg in his convittions forcible Iu the presenta. tion of his belief and unbiased by sectariau prejudice. whether if be in medicine, religion or politics. The physician 1 refer to is cer. tainly a wonderful physician as well as a re- markable personality.
 "He seems to possess a great intuition | which enables him 10 diagnose all disease. and describe these diseases without beinr | told anything and without asking any aues- tions better than the patient can tell him. | have seen him iu more than twenty case blindfotded, and in this condition tell ever, person their diseases in detail without ask | ing question. Consequently, when he doc- | tors patient he doctors him for the rtgh, disease instead of experimenting with him. | have seen him more than a dozen time while thoroughly blindfJldei read a book Ls

 "He examines thousands of sick peopl, every year, and tells eaeh and every on. their trouble without asking question. Now | II seems to me that a man who can read tht inside or a sick person as be would an oper | book without asking any questions Is faI | more capable or treating the patient ihaI the doctor who has 10 guess al the disease from what the patient may tell him.
 "The gentleman l refer to Is Dt. R. O. Flower Of Boston, Mass. You have all heard | Of him many times. He has thousands oi patients under his care.

Flower has cured or is l curing them. and that he told them their dis eases without asking a question.
 "fhe physician who took Antonio Casenero l the Cuban Prince. and his wife to see Dr. R c. Flower in 1888, described to me the flrsu interview between Dr. K. c. Flower and the PIince's wife: You need not tell me any | thing said the Doctor, as be took the wO- | mans hand in his and looked directly int, | her eyes for minute. 'It is my opinion said the doctor slowly. that you were bitten | by a vicious cat some years ago ana come | very near losing your life from the injury Shortly after this occurred you received n blow in your left breast. Soon a lump ap- peared. This in time was pronounced n can | cer and you had il cut out. II sCon returned 1 with four or five other growrhs, and art | under the arm. You have had at least two and believe three operations. Your case is | now considered by physicians generally a. | incurable.' You are right in every partteu- lar.' said the woman. but for Gods sake how did you know these things Never minC how l knew them. I see you now have s.yeI or eight grow hs coming in the breast around | the edges where the operations were Der. | formed and two under the arm. Your dis | ease has now reached q s ate where you Rrs in c instant suffering Without delay th, | Doctor filled a hypodermic needle with ' I | thymol and rehued green tincturs of stiiIsn | ger. and made an injection into each growth. l These injections he repeated every third day l for three weeks, when every trace of the eA1- l cerous Growths were gone.
