THE RUSAL NEW-YORKER,

sleeping; and here let me say that this entire 
bath department is fitted up in the same ori¬ 
ental splendor and beauty as is the building 
itself. The plunge bath, or swimming pool in 
the center of these baths, is worthy of special 
attention. If anything of the kind exists 
on this earth, I have never seen it or heard 
of it. 
This magnificent swimming pool is filled 
with sea water, which comes through artesian 
wells from some subterranean ocean, which 
pours a constant stream in and a constant 
stream out. The decorations of the walls and 
ceilings of this plunge bath resemble tbo 
dazzling pictures of fairy land. On one side 
the spectacular view of the ocean, with its 
surging waves and ships arriving and depart¬ 
ing. On the other side mountains of verdure 
and homes of beauty. Turn on the electric 
lights, and the scene 
IS A TROPICAL ONE. 
Far in the east the moon is seen, and the 
stars shine from overhead. Seemingly, vari¬ 
ous tropical creatures and animals appear, 
comiug from their hiding-places, while down 
yonder grotto, which looks a mile away, 
pours a Niagara of water, spurting amid the 
lilies and the fiags. 
I have recently visited Dr. Flower’s offices 
in the Flower Palace, corner Columbus Ave., 
and Holyoke Street. I have seen and con¬ 
versed with scores of people, if not hundreds, 
who have come from all parts of the world, 
to be cured by the doctor and his associates. 
I do not exaggerate when I say that they are 
cured, cured at the mouth of the grave , and 
when given up by others to die , cured in a 
most marvelous way. 
I found it impossible to get an interview 
with Dr. Flower for more than a minute for 
anything outside of his patients. 
“Just a word, Doctor,” I said; “ tell me 
ABOUT THIS HEALTH HOME.” 
“ Well, sir,” he said, “ it has been my desire 
for years to build a place different from any 
other place in the world. A place perfect in 
all things, like a large, palatial home; cheer¬ 
ful, beautiful, and sunshiny, where every 
kind of treatment of any merit can be given 
skillfully, kindly, and tnoroughly. This is 
just what this health place is. There is noth¬ 
ing in the world like it, and, as far as I know, 
has never been. But I seriously trusl that we 
may soon have many such places in our coun¬ 
try. If there is any cure ou this earth for the 
sick, they can find it here. Now you must 
excuse me,” he said, “Imust attend to these 
patients.” 
We made personal inquiries of a number of 
his patients, and prominent business men in 
the city. They were all loud in their praise 
of Dr. Flower, and were unanimous in their 
declarations that there was no such physician 
as he in the world. The following, from the 
Hon. J. Willard Rice, of the large paper 
manufacturing house of Rice, Kendall & Co., 
91 Federal Street, Boston, is a fair sample of 
what they all said. No one is better known 
politically or in extended business circles than 
Mr. Rice, one of the leading business men of 
New England, a gentleman of about 70 
years of age. “ Yes,” said Mr. Rice, “ I know 
Dr. Flower well. I have known him inti¬ 
mately for years. I regard him as the most 
wonderful physician in the world. I have 
never known his equal. In business he is au 
ideal man, and as a gentleman he has no su¬ 
perior; is cultured and refined in every way.” 
PROF. R. F. HUMISTON, 
of 413 Shawmut Ave., said : “ 1 have known 
Dr. Flower for many years. I regard him the 
greatest living physician. I never knew such 
a man or such a doctor. If miracles are 
worked Dr. Flower works them. I have 
known him mako the paralytic and lame, who 
had been helpless all their lives, spring to 
their feet and walk forth in health, also 
dissolve aud pass away great tumors in a very' 
short time, when other physicians and hos¬ 
pitals had pronounced them incurable. It is 
my opinion,” said this gray -headed professor, 
“that Dr. Flower is the greatest physician 
on this earth; he cures when others fail, and 
the worst cases seem to be his greatest vic¬ 
tories.” 
Mrs. J. H. Grueby,of 238 West Canton St., 
Boston, said: “For seven years I suffered in¬ 
tensely from cancerous humor of the stomach, 
during which time I had been treated by sev¬ 
eral of the leadiug physicians of the city. 
They failed to even give me relief. During 
the last two years of my suffering I could not 
bear the weight of my clothes against my 
stomach, or lie down day or night without 
an increase of the pain. The last regular 
physician who treated me, said he did not be¬ 
lieve there was any help for me, but would 
advise that I consult some specialist. I de¬ 
cided to do so, and having often neard of Dr, 
R. C. Flower and his wonderful cures, I made 
up my mind, as the very last resort to consult 
him. Imagine my surprise upon entering his 
office, to have him tell me my disease and 
troubles in detail better than I could have 
told him, without asking me a question. I 
placed myself immediately under his treat¬ 
ment, soon began to improve, and am to-day 
a healthy, well, and sound woman. I have 
seen a great many of Dr. Flower’s patients 
at different times, and they all tell of the 
same wonderful cures.” 
Selecting the names and addresses of a few 
of the Doctor's patients in different parts of 
New England, we started a personal investi¬ 
gation to sea if these things were really true. 
CANCEROUS TUMOR. 
Mrs. J. L. Horne, of Norway, Me., said: “I 
had a very large internal tumoi—had it re¬ 
moved with a knife, but it soon returned 
more malignant than ever, and finally pro¬ 
nounced cancerous tumor, and that there was 
no help for it. I had the best physicians of 
this city and Portland attend me until my case 
was decided incurable. In my despair I went 
to Dr. Flower, of Boston, and, to be brief, I 
would say he entirely removed the tumor 
without the use of the knife, in less than eight 
months and without pain. This was over 
four years ago, and I have been in the best of 
health ever since. I regard Dr. Flower as 
the most wonderful and greatest physician of 
the world. I do not believe there ever was 
such a man: I know dozens of his patients 
who think of him as I do.” Mrs. Horne is a 
very prominent lady of aoout fifty years of 
age, her husband being one of the leading 
business men of the State. 
MISS EMMA SMITH, 
of Norway, Me., a prominent society' woman 
of one of the leading families of the State, 
said: “1 was treated for a large fungus 
growth and dropsy. I was so large that I 
could scarcely get up or down, or hold my 
weight up. My case was pronounced hopeless, 
and I expected to die any day. It was 
with great difficulty 1 was taken to see Dr. 
Flower. He took my case, treated me eight 
months, and cured me entirely; this tvas aoout 
four years ago. I have been in excellent health, 
ever since. I do not think there was ever 
such a doctor in the world as he is. Many of 
his cures are like miracles; he shows his 
greatest powers when all others fail.” 
Mrs. Edwin Wallace, Rochester, N. H., 
said: “ I was treated some years ago 
FOR DIABETES AND PARALYSIS. 
It was wonderful what Dr. Flower did for 
me; he saved my life. We regard him as a 
most wonderful doctor and a perfect gentle¬ 
man. I know of a number of cures, almost 
miracles, performed by Dr. Flower; a lady 
friend of mine in Maine, was cured by Dr. 
Flower of malignant cancerous tumor, after 
she had been given up as incurable by the 
leading medical lights of the east.” Mrs. 
Wallace is one of the most prominent women 
of New Hampshire, and wife of one of the 
largest manufacturers in the east. 
X. E. Mills, of Milford, N. H., a prominent 
and elderly citizen of the place. He said: 
“Ever since my army life I suffered intense¬ 
ly with my stomach; doctors had doctored 
me for everything they could think of, but 
all gave me up by saying ‘We can’t tell what 
the trouole is’; during all this time I grew 
worse and worse; in fact my misery became 
so great that every moment of my life was 
one of mortal agony; the cold perspiration of 
suffering stood in beads over me nearly all 
the time. In my distress and despair,suffering 
almost death but unable to die, I went to see 
Dr. R.C. Flower,of Boston (this was six years 
ago). No sooner had I entered Dr. Flower’s 
presence than he told me that I had swallowed 
au animal, or some kind of a water creature 
found in Southern swamps. “Did you ever 
drink water from the filthy swamps in the 
South ?’ he asked. ‘Yes, tor a time in the 
army; that was all I had to drink.’ ‘And 
from that time,’ he said, ‘you have suffered, 
getting worse and worse as the animal has 
grown.’ Dr. Flower took my case. In a lit¬ 
tle while he killed the animal aud passed it in 
pieces from the bowels. My troubles began 
to immediately disappear. It has been nearly 
six years since Dr. Flower cured me of this 
awful trouble, and gave me back to my fami¬ 
ly, a happy man. I believe Dr. Flower is the 
one great medical wonder cf this age.” 
Mrs. Hiram C. Bond, wife of the large shoe 
manufacturer of Haverhill, Mass., said: “Six 
years ago 1 was most successfully treated and 
cured by Dr. R. C. Flower, of Boston, of 
VERY SERIOUS CANCEROUS TROUBLES, 
after treating with the leading physicians of 
Haverhill and Boston, also the Boston hos¬ 
pitals, and by all pronounced incurable. Dr. 
Flower is a most wonderful man. How he 
cures people the way he does, and restores to 
health the dying I cannot tell, but he does it.” 
Silas C. Mott, a prominent business man 
of Frovincetown, said: “Four years ago i 
was in wretched health, could hardly walk 
across my room, or bear my weight upon my 
feet for twenty minutes at a time. 
BESIDES MY PARALYSIS, MY HEALTH WAS 
WRECKED. 
1 could not eat anything without great dis¬ 
tress, and had no strength or endurance 
whatever. My family physician advised me 
to go and see Dr. R. C. Flower, of Boston, as 
he regarded him the greatest physician for 
chronic diseases in the world. As a last re¬ 
sort I went. Well, to be brief, Dr. Flower in 
a few months worked in me a marvelous 
cure; I could eat everything, attend to my 
business as 1 never did before; to-day I am a 
happy man. Furthermore,” continued Mr. 
Mott, “ Dr. Flower doctored my daughter for 
a swelled and enlarged knee. She had been 
under the treatment of other doctors for 
months, growing worse all the time. I took 
her to the Massachusetts Hospital in Boston. 
They advised an operation, saying they could 
not find out the difficulty without cutting in¬ 
to the knee; this I refused to allow. They 
then did her knee up in splints; the pressure 
of the splints made the knee worse, and in 
this helpless condition I took her to Dr. 
Flower. He ordered the slipnts taken off, 
and in a little while cured the knee perma¬ 
nently;” and as the grateful man wiped the 
tears from his eyes, he said, “ We owe all to 
Dr. Flower.” 
Mrs. H. P. Hughes, of Provincetown, wife 
ot Capt. H. P. Hughes, an old and promi¬ 
nent family of the Cape, said: “Dr. R. C. 
Flower treated and cured my husband of 
a terrible disease, which had followed him 
since his army days. Being in poor health 
myself, from female and other diseases (after 
seeing what he had done for my husband) 
though given up as incurable by other physi¬ 
cians, I consulted Dr. Flower myself. His 
examination of my case satisfied me for the 
first time that I had found a doctor who 
understood my troubles. I placed myself 
under Dr. Flower’s care, and in a few months 
was cured, both to my own surprise and the 
surprise of all who knew me. We have 
both enjoyed wonderful health since treating 
with Dr. Flower. As a physician, we regard 
him a wonder, as a man, a most elegant 
gentleman.” 
Mrs. O. Ware, a well-to-do farmer’s wife, 
living three miles from Hudson, Mass., stated 
that she was treated by Dr. R. C. Flower, a 
few years ago, for large tumor in the bowels; 
that it had, shortly before going to the doc¬ 
tor, developed a cancerous phase; that she had 
been a great sufferer, and was scarcely able 
to go up and down stairs; that she had 
doctored for years without any relief; that 
the last physician, before she consulted Dr. 
Flower, said that there was no cure for her, 
and that she would be foolish to try again. 
As a last resort she went to see Dr. Flower. 
He took the case, and in a few months’ time 
ENTIRELY REMOVED THE TUMOR; 
that she has been perfectly well ever since, 
and can do as much work as any woman; 
never felt better in her life. 
Theodore Harrington, a large manufac¬ 
turer of Southbridge, Mass., stated that 
about a year ago, all broken down in health, 
as a last resort he had consulted Dr. Flower; 
that for six years previous he had been a 
sufferer from 
CHRONIC RHEUMATISM 
and neuralgia, and for the last two years a 
great sufferer, unable to dress himself, and 
scarcely able to move; that he had fallen off 
in flesh to almost a skeleton: that latterly a 
serious stomach trouble had developed; 
that he was believed by all to be at his jour¬ 
ney’s end; that he had been doctored by all 
the leading physicians around there and 
given up as incurable; that upon entering 
Dr. Flower's office, to his surprise, the doctor 
told him his trouble in detail, without asking 
a question, better than he could have told 
the doctor; then he placed himself immediate¬ 
ly under the doctor’s care, and to his great 
surprise began to improve rapidly, and that 
he was now in a vigorous, healthy condition; 
that he had gained as much as three pounds 
in one week; that he regarded Dr. Flower as 
the most wonderful physician in the world. 
In fact, there is no limit in the work Dr. 
Flower does; to the number of sick he cures, 
and dying he saves. He is an unpretentious 
man,of between thirty-five and forty years of 
age, highly educated, easy in his manner, aud 
an eutertaiuing conversationalist. He is in¬ 
tensely interested in his work, and loves his 
practice as he does his life. It seems to me 
that Dr. Flower has been raised up by heaven 
to cure the sick. The wonderful power he 
possesses in diagnosing disease many believe to 
be a Divine gift. In the recent completement 
of his new Health Palace, which is unques¬ 
tionably the finest on the earth, every kind 
of treatment is to be found, given in the most 
gentle, skillful, and scientific manner. 
The doctor’s charges vary according to the 
disease and the requirement. I have abun¬ 
dant evidence that he is very considerate to 
the poor. 
The rates I understand, in bis health pal¬ 
ace for treatment, beard, care, and attention, 
range per month from one hundred and thirty 
to eight hundred dollars, and this includes 
every comfort, every attention, aDd luxury 
known. The Spectator Publishing Co , of 
Boston, offer for a few weeks, free of charge, 
to any one sending a two cent stamp for pos¬ 
tage, a new publication descriptive of Dr. 
Flower, his work and health home. It is a 
work which should be in tne hands of every 
one. 
In his great work Dr. Flower is ably aided 
by his efficient brother Dr. A. H. Flower, 
Dr. W. O. Jones, and others, who devote 
their exclusive time to the services of the 
sick. In this the most of all philanthropic 
works, Dr. Flower will have the prayers and 
good wishes of all.
