fury of pain, and his death roar paralyzed me

on my cheek, the result of the injury and bad

appeared, more malignant than ever. In the
course of 16 months it had assumed the shape and
appearance of a full grown and exposed bear.
To me, IN the mirror, il was always q miniature
picture of the glazing redeyed grizzly, whose
death moan and roar sometimes hear now.

II have recently become acquainted with several
of DR.. r. c. Flowers cures" continued Joseph
dempsey, and to me his entire system of treat

he never asks sick person to tell him thing;
he always describes accurately and in detail the
trouble without being told. have seen dozens of
people examined by him, and they all testify that
he told them better than they could have told
him. His cures are but little less wonderful than
his diagnoses. II seems to me sometimes that he

as readily as simple diseases. His cure of Mrs

Many of these people represent the most promi-

women of culture and refinement, who had had
every opportunity to be cured, but had failed to
get relief Many of these cases were in advanced
and fatal stages. Some of them were at death s
door when taken to see DR.. Flower, but by his
wonderful skill, they improved Immediately and
were soon cured
