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

man whose face seemed familiar, yet I
could not identify him. He was the pic
ture of health and his large brown eyes
seemed to fasten on me. Il beg your
pardon he said, but your face is ia
miliar. May 1 ask your narne?" u.
MahI Bennett replied. A smile crept
over his face and his eyes closed as
though he were trying to think of some
thing. Another question, please. Where
were you from Aug. to IA, 1852" '-On
the broad Atlantic ocean, I said, zen
route for Europe Were you on the
French steamer La Gascogne?" he ask
ed. Yes Then" he said slowly, you
are the man I am largely indebted to
for saving my life" You interest me-
I said, for I did not know that I had
credit in this or any other world for
saving a human life you will remem-
ber,'' he said, rather late on the even
ing of the 18th of August, at the stern
of the boat, you and I 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. I replied that 1 ex-
pected when returned home it would
be in a box, and that I wished that
was in the bottom of the furrow made
in the water by the keel of our steam
err" Then I said, you must be that
tall, thin, sickly man we called the
Ghost 1.-The same man." he said,
''and you will remember introducing me
to DR.. R. c. Flower of Boston, a physi-
clan, who, you said was the most Won
derful specialist in the treatment and
cure of chronic diseases the earth has
ever produced q remember the Incl
dent well. DR.. Flower and his Secre-
tary were passing on La GaScogne and
in introducing you told you that If any
man on earth could help you, DR.. Flow
er was that man. well, the day after
I was examined by DR.. Flower. My
troubles as I had told you, were con-
sumption Bright's disease, catarrhal
and gastric disease of the stomach and
heart trouble, and my limbs had swol-
len to the size of my body nearly. had
been given up as incurable by the lead
ing 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 wonderful examina-
ton told all my diseases from my early
life to that hour without asking me
question or my telling him a thing. I
made up my mind Immediately that DR..
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 attain
ments, and that his wonderful diagnosis
of my case was nothing less than
miraculous demonstration Of intuitiOnal
power from d superior brain placed
myself Immediately under his care. He
seemed to have everything I needed
with him During his three or four
weeks practice in Paris and London 1
visited him frequently. I rapidly i'm
proved and after returning to San Fran
cisco continued my treatment for thir-
manently cured. If it had not been for
DR.. Flower I 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 I never would have
met Dr. Flower. 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 I had sung
them at the Golden Gate"
I 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 miraculous cures and
bore the same charmed history that the
cure of PhiIo z. BrOsius of San Fran
cisco bears, I would give it to the world
first as a fascinating narrative full of
interest and charm, and second, that
the sick may know where to find help
when all others have failed.
INVESTIGATION BEGINS.
Procuring the names of a few of DR..
r. c. Flowers patients and from these
patients hearing of others, l began an
investigation of his practice which all
critics viii confess is phenomenal if not
miraculous.
