CONNECTICUT MIRACLES
Sick and Dying Cured in a
Most Wonderful Way.

whose face seemed familiar, yet I could
not identify him. He was the picture of
health and his large brown eyes seemed
TO fasten on me. 81 beg your pardon" he
said, 'but your face is familiar. May 1
ask your name?' -. Mahl Bennett" I
replied. A smile crept over his face and
his eyes closed as though he were trying
to think of something. Another question,
please Where were you from Aug. to
a. 1SS6?' "On the broad Atlantic ocean, -
1 said, zen route for Europe" ''Were you
Oh the French steamer La Gascogne?" he
asked. yes" Then" he said slowly
''you are the man 1 am largely indebted
TO for saving my life You interest me-"
I said, for did not know that I had a
credit in this or any other world for
saving a human life" you will remem-
ber.' he said, rather late on the evening
of the 18th of August, at the stern Of the
boat, you and 1 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 re-
turn home. 1 replied that I expected
when I returned home it would be in u
box, and that ! wished that 1 was in the
bottom of the furrow made in the water
by the keel Of our steamer" Then" I
said, ''you must be that tall, thin, siclkly
man we called the Ghost. THE same
man." he said, land you will remember
introducing me to Dr. r. c. Flower of
Boston, a physician, who. you said, was
the most wonderful specialist in the treat
ment and cure of chronic diseases the
earth has ever produced" Il remember
the incident well. DR.. Flower and his
secretary were passing on La Gascogne
and in introducing you 1 told you that
If any man on earth could help you, DR..
Flower was that man" "Well, the day
after 1 was examined by DR.. Flower My
troubles as I had told you, were consump-
ton, Bright's disease, catarrhal and gas
trio disease of the stomach and heart
trouble, and my limbs had swollen to the
size of my body nearly. I had been given
up as incurable by the leading physicians
of San Francisco and New York, and had
been sent abroad, as knew, so as to die
away from home. Dr. Flower, in his Won
derful examination, told me all my
diseases from my early life to that hour
without asking me a question or my tell
ing him thing. 1 made up my mind i'm
mediately that DIR, Flower was the doctor
for me, that he did not belong to the
ordinary class of doctors, that he was a
man of culture, Of great knowledge and
rare attachments, and that his wonderful
diagnosis of my case was nothing less
than a miraculous demonstration of in
tutional power from a superior brain. I
placed myself Immediately under his care.
He seemed to have everything 1 needed
with him. During his three or four weeks
practice in Paris and London visited him
frequently. 1 rapidly improved and after
returning to San Francisco I continued
my treatment for thirteen or fourteen
months and was permanently cured. If
it had not been for DR.. Flower I should
have been dead man ten years ago, and
in place OF a happy wife a sOrrOwing
widow and three fatherIess girls would
have been struggling for sustenance, and
If il had not been for you I never would
have met DR.. Flower. I shall move my
family to Philadelphia in a few weeks,
where my new business calls me, and
shall ever sound the praises of DR.. Flower
in the East as for ten years 1 have sung
them at the Golden Gate"
/ spent a lovely evening with my friend
of the ocean voyage, and before retiring
that night 1 made up my mind that as I
had entered into newspaper work. I would
investigate DR.. R. c. Flowers practice in
Connecticut, and that if it showed the
same wonderful examinations and mirac-
ulous cures and bore the same charmed
history that the cure of Philo f. Brosius
of San Francisco bears. would give it
TO the world-frst, as a fascinating narra-
tive full of interest and charm and sec
ond. that the sick may know where 10
find help when all others have failed.
INVESTIGATION BEGINS.
Procuring the names of a few of DR.. r.
c. Flowers patients and from these pa
tients hearing of others. I began an IN
vestigation of his practice which all
critics Will confess IS phenomenal if not
miraculous.
Judge Dwight Loomis 27S Pennington
avenue. Hartford. Conn. when asked
what he thought OF DR.. r. c. Flower, said
promptly. in his concise and pointed way,
81 regard DR.. r. c. Flower as the ablest
and most wonderful physician Of this
age and in every way a remarkable and
wonderful man. I was a very sick man"
Faid Judge LOomis, "and was treated by
several prominent physicians, but grew
constantly worse. Ny friends became
alarmed at my condition and urged me to
consult DR. r. c. Flower of Boston I
was told that DR.. Flower could tell me my
troubles better than I could tell him,
without asking me question. I did not
believe that he could do anything of the
kind. but as other physicians had failed
to help me and as l was growing rapid
ly worse decided TO consult Or. Flower
Of Ia
Hartford, I called on him. \ great crowd
of people were waiting TO see him. In
time my turn came. Imagine nv surprise
when the doctor. without asking a ques-
ton told me all my troubles better than
I could have told him. l knew 1 was in
the presence Of a man who was great
in his profession, who understood through
his work and that he understood my all
1nents ] put myself under DR.. Flowers
treatment and soon began TO improve My
Improvement was rapid and permanent.
and in a few months I was cured. l have
sent several of my friends 70 DR.. Flower
and he has examined them and cured them
in the same wonderful way. never fail
TO recommend Dr. Flower To the sick"
Words of praise from Judge Loomis'
lips are not idle words. as every man in
Connecticut knows. For years he was
foremost at the Connecticut bar. and for
twenty years he was on the supreme
bench Of the state. No man stands higher
Intellectually or as 4 man OF integrity and
clean character than Judge Dwight Loom
IS. and when such a man. IN the evening
of his life. as he nears the silence and
sleep which come 20 all, says what he says
