DIAGNOSING DISEASE BLINDFOLDED.

IlKMAKKABLE CAREER IN THE CUKE OP THE SICK.

Holding an Angry Mob at Bay From the Kear Platform of the Train.

Col. Robert G. Olcott of London, was the guest of the Chester Club of Philadelphia the evening when the subject for discussion happened to be our great men. And as Col. Olcott's mission to this country was to investigate the history of the different types of great Americans, he was called upon to respond. "I will respond as to the physicians," said the Colonel in his English brogue. "My idea, gentlemen, of a great physician is a physician who is capable, and who does great things, a man of great originality, quick in perception, cool in demeanor, strong in his convictions, forcible in the presentation of his belief and unbiased by sectarian prejudice, whether it be in medicine, religion or politics. The physician I refer to is certainly a wonderful physician as well as a remarkable personality.

"He seems to possess a great intuition which enables him to diagnose all diseases and describe these diseases without being told anything and without asking any questions better than the patient can tell him. I have seen him in more than 20 cases blindfolded, and in this condition tell every person their diseases in detail without asking a question. Consequently, when he doctors a patient he doctors him for the right disease instead of experimenting with him. I have seen him more than a dozen times while thoroughly blindfolded read a book as readily as if he had the use of his eyes. 1 don't pretend to say how he does these things for 1 don't know, but I do know that he does them. "He examines thousands of sick people every year, and tells each and everyone their trouble without asking a question. Now it seems to me that a man who can read the inside of a sick person as he would an open book without asking any questions is far more capable of treating the patient than the doctor who has to guess at the disease from what the patient may tell him. "The gentleman I refer to is Dr. R. C. Flower of Boston, Mass. You have all heard of him many times. He has thousands of patients under his care. These patients are distributed all over your United States and in other countries. Wherever Dr. Flower goes crowds

gather to see him of the incurable sick from every part of the world. Inquiry at the following hotels—Riggs House Washington, D. C. Exchange Hotel^ Richmond, Va. Kimball House, Atlanta, Ga. St. James Hotel, Jacksonville, Fla. Tremont Honse, Galveston, Tex. Menger House, San Antonio, Tex. Richelieu Hotel Little Rock, Ark. Guyosa Hotel, Memphis, Tenn. Gait House, Louisville, Ky. Beers Hotel St. Louis, Mo. Throop Hotel, Topeka, Kan. Plankinton Hotel, Milwaukee, Wis. Palmer House, Chicago, 111.» Cadillac Hotel, Detroit, Mich. Denison

Hotel, Indianapolis, Ind. Grand Hotel, Cincinnati, 0.—and the Continental Hotel in this city have all brought the answer that wherever Dr. R. C. Flower visits their hotel great crowds of the sick and suffering come to see him,and that the people who come to see him are generally the most prominent and wealthy people of the country, representing all the positions, business and professional, of life: and as far as any expressions have been heard, they have been that Dr. R. C. Flower has cured or is curing them, and that he told them their diseases without ask ing a question. "The physician who took Antonio Casenero, the Cuban Prince, and his wife to see Dr. R. C. Flower in 1883, de scribed to me the first interview be tween Dr. Flower and the Prince's wife: 'You need not tell me anything, said the Doctor as he took the woman's hand in his and looked directly into her eyes for a minute. 'It is my opinion,' said the Doctor slowly, 'that you were bitten by a vicious cat some years ago and come very near losing your life from 'the injury. Shortly after this occurred you received a blow in your left breast. Soon a lump appeared. This in time was pronounced a cancer and you had it cut out. It soon returned with four or five other growths, and are under the arm. You have had at least two, and I believe three operations. Your case is now considered by physicians generally as incurable.' You are right in every particular,' said the woman, 'but for

God's sake how did you know these things.' 'Never mind how I know them. I see you now have seven or eight growths coming in the breast around the edges where the operations were performed and two under the arm. Your disease has now reached a stage where you are in constant suffering.' Without delay the Doctor filled a hypodermic needle with a mix care of lachesis, permanganate of potash, thymol and refined green tincture of stillenger, and made an injection into each growth. These injections he repeated every third day for three weeks, when every trace of the cancerous growths were gone. He treated the sys*

em constitutionally for eight months, from which time Mrs. Casenero has enjoyed perfect health. "The Minister to the United States from one of the leading South American Republics told my worthy friend on my left that he believed Dr. R. C. Flower, of Boston, was inspired of God to cure the sick when all other efforts failed that he and his family were patients of Dr. R. C. Flower, and his treatment of their cases was miraculous. I hold in my hand a letter from the late ex-Governor Bishop of Ohio, in which he says 'If miracles have ever been performed in modern times then Dr. R. C. Flower, of Boston, performs them daily. I have seen him examine scores of patients without asking a question and tell each one in detail his trouble. I have seen men and women sick unto death with cancers and tumors, after given up by the leading medical skill of this country to die, cured by Dr. fcR. C. Flower in a short time without the knife, without pain and without blood., 1 have seen the same wonderful cures of paralysis, rheumatism, heart and nerve troubles.' The Governor closes this letter by saying: 'There are several brothers in the Flower family whose lives are full of promise. B. O. Flower, the youngest brother, is the popular editor of the Arena, but there is but one Dr. K. C. Flower, and there will

Never! Never! Never!

Be another. He has built up his present great practice, which is without doubt the largest and most extended practice in the world. Of this great practice he isjits head, its life, its center and its Source. One of his brothers, Dr. A. H. Flower, is in his employ and is doing a good work. Other physicians of skill are associated with him. He is the most cheerful man in the sick room I ever knew. The moment you come into his presence you feel that he will cure you. He is the most pleasing gentleman I-ever met, and in my judgment the greatest living physician.' "It was Dr. It. C. Flower who 14 years ago cured injthis city the President of the Pennsylvania railroad, of hopeless paralysis. From that day to this his miraculous cures have startled your country at frequent intervals. Such cures as that of Miss Ella Betts, South Norwalk, Conn., from helplessness to perfect use of her limbs Mrs. A. T. Longly, of Washington, D. C., of malignant fibroid growth of the womb, and all these cures permanent. His recent cures of such men as John Hopkins, Ellsworth, Me., and Dr. F. M. Brooks, Portland, Me. of John Straw, of Stowe, Vt., of Mrs. Jerry Both, of

Vergennes. Vt.: of Mrs. McOmber, of Balston Spa, N. Y. of A. E. Sprague, of Columbus, O. of Mrs. Jhenta Deykean, of Sheridan, Ind. of C. H. Posey, 615 Chestnut street, Evansville, Ind. the wife of the Hon. William Mix, of Louisville, Ky. is evidence beyond dispute that Dr. R. C. Flower in the treatment and cure of chronic diseases is a master that most of his cures are men and women given up by other physicians as incurabble. Dr. Flower is the head, the examining and consulting physician of this great practice, while the treatment and details are attended to by his associates. "YSur worthy secretary, who has known Dr. Flower for many years, has told me many an interesting bit of his history while he was in the practice of the law. For, as some of you know, the Doctor was educated for law, practiced several years, lost his voice, went into the practice of medicine, and has never been able to quit it. It was in 1874 (20 years ago) that Dr. R. C. Flower, not a xiracticing physician then, was called to Mobile to defend a man under arrest charged with arson.

After a desperately fought case he succeeded in acquitting his client. On his return North at a little station south of Franklin, Tenn., a mob of infuriated men surrounded the sheriff, who was endeavoring to get a negro on the train. A thousand men, many of them with masks on their faces, cried out: 'Hang Him! Hang Him!' A rope was thrown around his neck, and in another moment he would have been swinging to a limb, when R. C. Flower, moving his hand, cried out from the rear platform: "Gentlemen, hear me before you hang this man. You are Southern men, and I am glad as such to address you. This great crowd is represented by soldiers who a few years ago wore both the gray and the blue. Your records were those of courage, of daring and valor, You were brave men then, and I believe you are brave men to-day. You are Southerners men of ceivalry, men easily excited, quick to resent an evil, but, gentlemen,

Yon Are Not Murderers,

And I don't believe you want to mur. der this man in cold blood. You don't want to establish a 'precedent of mob law, which may some day be visited upon some of you. Let the law, I beg you, take its course. You will feel better as you think it over better when you go to your beds to-night, and better in the silence of *your last night on earth.' At this the leader of the mob cried out as he threw the rope down: "I reckon you are right, young man. We will let the law take its course," and the Sheriff hustled the frightened negro into the car." UiBut enough. Col. Olcott only ex-

presses what thousands know, and if Dr. R, C. Flower should ever return to the practice of law he would at an early day carve his name on the highest round of a great reputation.

The great interest the world now has in Dr. Flower is as a physician, as a healer, when all others fail and death approaches.

Those interested in the wonderful career of this marvelous man who send four cents return postage stamps to the Flower Medical Co., No. 559 Columbus avenue, Boston, Mass., will receive a Photogravure Biography and Dr. Flower's new book, entitled, "Dr. R. C. Flower in the Sick Room." This justly famous physician can be conveniently consulted as follows:

Quincy Sutton and Edgar Rhyne not long since built a new race track somewhere in the unknown parts of Mr. Sutton's farm and intended to keep it a secret, as we understand that they are going to train that dun and gray, and they told two or three persons and told them not to tell, but of course they did.

—A. L. Paire made THE JOURXAI. force a present of some fine pawpaws this week for which we are duly thank ful.

OAK GROVE.

An item in a recent issue of Tin-: JOUIINAI. in regard to some old church being converted into a barn in this district of the M. E. conference reminds us anew of the continued neglect of the old Salem church near here. A country graveyard, dreary enough ordinarily, is made doubly desolate in this instance by the addition of an abandoned church, with yawning doorways and ragged window shades flapping dismally in the wind. A pretty but faded banner is about all that remains to tell of former days of prosperity. Some ministers, notably Rev. E. R. Johnson, made an effort to resuscitate the church but failed. The structure should be either torn down or repaired and not left for a rendezvous for tramps.

.TIGER VALLEY.

Clover seed all threshed. Jack Frost was here Monday night. The coal oil and gasoline man is still seen here.

Charles Rhoads will start for Missouri soon. Strawder Peck will erect a new barn in the spring.

Several from here went to Indianapolis Tuesday.

DARKEST CLOUDS

HAVE-

Silver Linings.

The dark clouds of business depression hav2 had their

bright lining in our store. At no time during the cry of hard times have we failed to buy the late novelties as well as the usual amount of staples. We have not been once discouraged or disheartened by the outlook, and our ventures have been

successful, even beyond our expectations. We have not been bothered by the dark clouds, but have been overwhelmed by business, and our friends and customers have had the benefit of the silver linings. And now that the dark clouds of business depression are raising and fading into mist we are to the front with the best selected and best bought stock ever shown the trade of this and adjoining counties, and at prices that will command your attention and the respect of our competitors We area trifle later this season than usual in making our fall

announcement because of the delay of the new tariff bill in becoming a law, as we delayed our shipments until prices were settled, thereby saving a considerable per cent which will be given our customers. But we are

Come to us for your smallest wishes in our line. We will save ou money.

Twin Brothers.

Economy and wisdom are twin brothers.: There aro thousands and thousands of murchants, mechanics, laboring men, farmers, stock raisers, physicians, lawyeis, and others located in cities, towns and points near the post-offleo who want to keep posted about all that is going on the world over. They are interested inthepolitiealcampaignsthroughout the country, lite markets, the conditions of labor, the industries, society, daily happenings, and all that goes to make the news of tho day. For Instance, they were deeply interested in tho recent coal and railroad strikes. They can get tills news only through the columns of a great metropolitan newspaper, which costs 30 cents a wet ),. This they feel is beyond their means they do not want to make so much of an outlay. They must have the news in order to keep abreast of tho times. Hero is where economy ant] wisdom combine. Tho Cincinnati Commercial Gazette is one of the greatest newspapers in the world. From its dally issues is taken tho I'reain of the news for tho Cincinnati Gazette, which is now published twice a, week. It is a paper worth Sl-l a year daily, but is now sent twice a week at only one dollar a year. It is the poor man's great newspaper. It will reach you on tho days of publication, and serves the purjioso of a daily. Send for a sample copy free or remit a dollar by draft, express or postal order, to The, Gazette Co., Clnc'Tnati, O., and get It1 a whole year. It is worth twice the prJr.e.

In Childhood'sjllapi)}- Days.

Among the incidents of childhood that stand out in bold relief, as our memory reverts to the days when we were young, none are more prominent than severe sickness. The young mother vividly remembers that it was. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy cured her of croup, and in turn administers it to her own offspring and always with the best results.
