4 South American Missionary
Saved in a Miraculous Way.
Reaches United States Just in
Time to Save His Life.

| the only missionary who ever went among
the Aztec Indians OF South America who has
| returned alive. Ii was Prof. Weykoff who
planted Christianity amid these fierce people,
and made minister out OF Zoreff, the man
| eater and chief OF the savages.
Eight years ago. said the professor TO n
| gathering OF friends at the Allyn House, II
resigned my lucrative profcssorship and set
sail Tor South America. Ny journey was
two-fold mission-first, to carry the gospel to
u people who had never heard 1t, and second.
to regainniy health, If possible, amid the arid
hills or the Southern Hemisphere.
My disease was consumption. Ihad been
pronounced incurable by the leading physi-
clans ofthe East. Analysisby Dr. Agnew, OF
Philadelphia, showed that was in the early
| stages of Brights disease. ] also had a
growth in the left side, which some physi-
clans diagnosed as enlargement of the
spleen, some an ague ease, and others Il tu-
NOR. was told that any one o the troubles
would prove fatal within year and that
there was no cure in the known world for
me. After Il long SEA voyage, then n rail
road journey, and then nine VS. wagon
journey over the plains and up into the
mountains, my wifeand reached Des wlsca.
You have all heardme relate my experiences
among these people. In this connection
/ would say, by the treatment of the medi-
cine man of the tribe, by the help of God and
the climate, l largely recovered from my
lung and kidney troubles. The tunior, how
ever, continued to grow. Two years ago
! took n cold and rela psed back to my origi-
nal condition. The medicine man gravely
Informed me that l was
DEAD WHITE MAN,
and l felt that for once in my life he was
telling the truth.
Twelve months ago. at 4 ranchn,an's
hut, a few miles from Des wisca, i chanced
TO come across copy of the Atlanta, Ga,
Constitution. II was like home TO see an
American paper, and l dcvoured it's con-
tents with great interest. What attracted
my attention mostly was an article de-
scribing the miraculous cures of Bos-
ton physician. In fact, they read as
much like miracles as old-time bible
miracles.
This article spoke of the cure of Mrs.
j. A. Clark. JonesDOrO, Ga. of double
curvature of spine, and Miss Minerva
Lewis, of Gonzales, Tex, OF cOnsumptioD;
of Mrs. G. J.. McOmber, of Balston Spa,
n. Y, of Il malignant fungus growth and
tumor, and of John ID. Hopkins, Ellsworth,
Me-, of kidney and bronchial trouble. IL
mentioned the remarkable cures of fifty
people. Now, my wife, who is Il Southern
woman, happened to know Miss Lewis
and Mrs. Clark, and knew that they were
families OF their respective States. l had
had the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Nc
Oniber and Mr.. Hopkins, and knew they
were among the representative people
OF the East.
such was the impression made upon
my wife and myself that we determined
to start Immediately TO Boston, and see
if by the help of God that great healer
could help me.
1t was on the nth of November. 1891
that l reached the office of DR.. X. C.
Flower. $50 Columbus avenue, Boston,
Mass. l was nearer dead man than {;
live one. i found the doctor busy. with
nearly a hundred people waiting tn see
him. lie was also preparing To make q
professional trip to Texas.
AS soon as l entered the presence of
DR.. Flower he told me my exnct oondi-
ton, and how had been for years past;
better than could have told him. ] knew

and one who was master OF his profession.

| would get well: I felt that his work was
Coils work, and that God was with him.
measured 53 inches around the abdomeu-so
large was the tuner; my bbOod had turned
almost to water. my limbs were swelled
to almost the size OF my body; my cough
was very severe, and my left lung badly
affected.
DR.. Flower gave 1t as his opinion that
the chances were greater that would get
wcll than that l would not. and that, by
the help of God, he would save me if he
could.
You can't imagine what life these words
gave me, for had been told the day be-
fore by two prominent physicians in New
York that there was no help for me: that
at best could live but few weeks.
Il was under DR.. Flowers treatment
about eight months, and have just been
dismissed by him as cured

How does DR.. Flower perform these

he does it. He is n man of great skill and |
experience. No physician in this age has |
had the experience he has had. Besides, |
he possesses almost spiritual gift in dag
nosing disease. He never asks his patient |
a question, and tells each one in detail |
his disease, without being told. 1 have
