The HeartIess Reed.
From the Springfield Union

VIZ
Speaker Reed is a brave man to forbid
the publication of unspoken speeches in
the Congressional Record. He has de-
stroyed an ancient congressional industry.
The able members who never have any
thing to say, but who persuade their con-
stituents that they have been doing their
full duty can no longer gain regulations
for industry and power by sending their
undelivered speeches under congressional
frank. Speaker Reed is almost cruel in
his new order. He first had the rules
amended so as to lessen opportunity for
con gressional speeches, and now he lessons
congressional privileges further by his new
order. What is the poor congressman to

1t is believed that DR.. r c. Flower is the only
ply stefan in the world who can tell any sick man
or woman their disease better than they can tell
him without asking question. His ability 10 do
this makes him master OF his profession for he
does not have to guess as to the patients disease.
1t is claimed by Dr. Flowers friends that in the
treatment Of cancer, tumor. consumption, paral
yss, stomach, nerve aud blood troubles, that he
does not lose one case in ninety.
: Judge DWIGHT LOOMS. OF Hartford, Conn.
ex justice OF the Supreme court Of Connecticut,
says DR.. r. c. Flower cured him Of q cancerous
trouble Of the stomach after the disease had
brought him to the gates OF death and he had
been given up incurable by the leading ply sicians
OF the state. lie says DR.. Flower told him his
troubles in detail without asking him anything
better than he could have told him. and said DR.
Flower was one Of. the greatest physicians th'
world has ever produced. Thousands aud thou
sands OF people tell the same story, and have
been telling IL for half generation.
