replied. A smile crept over his face and
his eyes closed as though be were trying
to think OF something. "Another ques'
ton, please. Where were you from Aug.

ocean," | said, zen route for Europe"
''Were you on the French steamer La Gas
cogne?" he asked. EYES, ''Then," he
said slowly, 'you are the man / am largely
indebted to for saving my life. "You in
terest me, - | said, "for i did not know
that had credit in this or any other
world for saving human life" "You will
remember he said, srather late on the
evening of the 18th OF August, at the stern
of the boat you and | had a long talk.
You said you were homesick and would
be glad when you had gotten through
with your business in Germany and could
return home. / replied that | expected
when returned home it would be in

bottom OF the furrow made in the water by

you must be that tall, thin, sickly man we
called the Ghost" "The same man, he
said, ''and you will remembe introducing
me to DR.. Il. G. Flower of Boston, physi-
clan, who, you said, was the most wonder.
full specialist in the treatment and cure OF
chronic diseases the earth has ever pro-
duced." 81 remember the incident we'll.
DR.. Flower and bis secretary were passing
on La Gascogne and in introducing you |
told you that if any man on earth could
help you, DIR. Flower was that man."
"Well, the day after | was examined by
DR.. Flower MY troubles, as / had told
you, were consumption, Bright's disease,
catarrhal and gastric disease of the stom-
ach, and heart trouble and my limbs had
swelled to the size OF my body nearly. |
had been given up as incurable by the
leading physicians OF San Francisco and
New York and had BET n sent abroad, as /
knew, so as to die away from homo. DR.
Flower, in his wonderful examination,
told me all my diseases from my early life
to that hour without asking me question
or my telling him a thing. / made up my
mind Immediately that DR.. Flower was
the doctor for me, that ne did not belong
to he ordinary class OF doctors, that he
was man of culture, of great knowledge
and rare Rttainments, ana that his won
dertul diagnosis of my case was nothing
less than a miraculous demonstration OF
intuitional power from superior brain. i
placed myself Immediately under his care.
He seemed to have everything / needed
with him. During his three or four weeks
practice in Paris and London | visited him
frequently / rapidly improved and after
returning to San Francisco | continued
my treatment for thirteen or fourteen
months and was permanently cured. IL it
had not been for DIR. Flower should have
been a dead man ten years ago, and in
place of happy wife sorrowing widow
and three fatherless girls would have been
struggling for sustenance, and If it had
not been for you | never would have met
DIR. Flower. / shall move my family to
Philadelphia in a few weeks, where my |
new business calls me, and shall ever sound |
the praises OF DIR. Flower in the East as for
ten years 1 have sung them at the Golden |
Gate.n
| spent lovely evening with my friend |
Of the ocean voyage, and before retiring |
that night / made up my mind that as l
had entered into newspaper work, would |
DIR. II. G. Flowers practice in |
and that IL it showed the |
same wonderful examinations and mirac-
ulous cures and bore the same charmed |
history that the cure of Philo Z. Brosius
Of San Francisco bears, would give it to |
he world-tirst, as fascinating narrative /
full Of interest and charm, and second,
bat the sick may know where to find help |
when all Others have failed.
INVESTIGATION BEGINS.
Procuring the names of few of DR.. h.
{. Flowers patients and from these pa
tients hearing of Others, | began an inves-
tigation of his practice which all critics
will confess is phenomenal il not miracu-
Ious.
Judge Dwight Loomis, 27s Pennington
avenue, Hartford, Conn.,, when asked what
be thought of DIR. X. Z. Flower, said
promptly, in his concise and pointed way,
81 regard DIR. X. c. Flower as the ablest
and most wonderful physician of this age
and in every way a remarkable and won
ierful man. / was very sick man." said
Judge Loomis, "and was treated by sew
sral prominent physicians but grew con- I
stantly worse. My friends became alarm
ID at my condition and urged me to con-
suit DR.. II. c. Flower of Boston. l was
.old that DIR. Flower could tell me my
troubles better than | could tell him, with
)ut asking me a question. / did not be-
leve that he could do anything of the
Kind, but as other physicians had failed

Upon one Of his visits to the Allyn House,
called on him. A great crowd
II people were waiting to see him. In
lime my turn came; Imagine my surprise
when the doctor, without asking a ques-
ion, told me all my troubles better than
could have told him. l knew l was in
he presence of a man who was great in
his profession, who understood thorough
Y his work and that he understood my
ilments. put myself under DR.. Flowers

Improvement was rapid and permanent

ent several of my friends to DR.. Flower

Words of praise from Judge Doomis'
ips are not idle words, as every man in
knows. For years be was
oremost at the Connecticut bar, and for
wenty years he was on the supreme bench
II the state. No man stands higher intel
or as a man Of integrity and clean
character than Judge Dwight LOOMS, and
when such a man, in the evening of his
life. as be nears the silence and sleep
which come to all, says what he says of
Dr.. r. c. Flower, and in saying so speaks
rom actual knowledge, it means that the
lick and dying in this world find in DR..
Flower physician who cures when help
las failed them from all other services.
