THE A ROYAL PALACE FOR THE SICK. | The Finest Health Home In the World. SEA BATHS AMID TROPICAL SUNROUNDINGS—THE LAR@EST MEDICAL PRACTICE ON TITE CONTI- NEST—WHAT THE DOCTOR'S WASHINGTON PA- ‘TIENTS SAY ABOCT HIM—A REPORTER'S EXPE- RIRNCR IN BOSTON—IS WASHINGTON TO HAVE A SEW SANITARIUM? The Washington Post of the 16th says: A few days ago a Post reporter was called to Boston on business. Now, Boston is said to be the hub; an expression which, to the Bostonian, means the center of the universe. One even- ing after dinner, while enjoying s friendly smoke at the Parker house, we asked our friend who was burying himself in the thickening clouds of the week: “Why is it that you Bostonians think the sun rises in East Boston, and sets in the suburbs of Cambridge?” He paused a moment, then facing about with | a half hidden smile, said: ‘Because that is the { way it does.” Then, taking another puff, he coutinued: “I have lived in New York, Washington, San Francisco, and spent two years in Paris. know New York is immense; Washington is the capital of the country; San Francisco the city of the Golden Gate, and Paris a city of great beauty, fashion, and women; but when it comes to everything desirable in a most advanced and | Snished stale—much in Htile—you will find such things in Boston as you do nowhere else. Yes, we replied that Boston has long enjoyed — reputation for baked beans and brown re “Stop, Robert!” he said. ‘Don’t je: Iam PEs what I say, for what I say rm Sie, I never eat beans or brown bread; so this claim we will not discuss, though I believe it is true. Candidly speaking. look at this city, with its eat colleges, universities, and seminaries. No city. no two cities, will compare with it. Is it eny wonder that it is known as the city of eulture? Look at our numerous and superior musicai institutions, and especially our great New England conservatory of music, with its three thousand pupils. and one hundred and fifty teachers! Nothing on this continent like it. Look at our art and historical museums. our fine system of public schools, and our Latin schools. Our gectens and perks will compare favorably with other great cities, also our churches and hotels. In Washington you will beat us in streets, but in suburban beauties and suburban drives we excel eny six cities of the countr Then taking another puff. he said: our hospitals: yon have nothing in Washington to compare with them.” i “Hush about your hospitals,” I said, “don't | mention them as among the credits of any city. | I have been twice in public hospitais, and nearly lost my life each time. I have had friends go there, suffering from some trivial troubles or slight injury, and efter some un- necessary operation, killed. and in a few days handed over to the undertaker. Don'tmention hospitals to me. I have seen too much. I know too much. If the walls of these silent, licensed. and endorsed prisons could speak, the nerve and fiber of the American people would grow cold and shiver with horror. And here, old friend, we are ahead of you in Wash- ington, for we have now being ‘built by Dr. Hammond. of New York, a kind of medical in- stitute or private hospital at mises to be far abead of the ordinary hospi Throwing his cigar away and drawing his chair closer, he said: “Tell me about your Washington new hospital or health institute.” “It is not completed yet,” I said, “but it promises to be a jewel for Washington when done. It is built of brick, with dark stone trimmings; two stories and a half high, on the corner of two streets, with fine southern ex- posure. It will certainly be far ahead of the ordinary hospital, and many believe, superior to the average health resort.” ‘I AM GLAD TO REAR IT” was our friend's enthusiastic reply. “I tell you Iam glad to hear it. But in this respect more than im afything else, Boston is ahead of Washington, and in fact ahead of the world.” This last speech caused me to inquire of our friend if his cigar had contained any intoxi- cating properties. At this he burst out laugh- ing. “You think I have been imbibing, do you? Sit down, and I will tell you something that will make you think I have been imbibing still more. You WILL NOT BELIEVE iT until you see it. “Go on,” we said. “We shall be surprised at nothing we hear or see in Boston.” “Lsaid 1 was glad Dr. Hammond was build- ing a health institute in Washington, for any improvement in the treatment of the sick in- terests my sympathies. The country doctor knows a very little about the treatment of chronic diseases, and if they understood such treatment they have no facilities for treating them. Consequently, go into any neighbor- hood. in any part of the country you may. and you will find a large number afflicted with either cancer, consumption, paralysis, catarrh, rheumatism, neuralgia. dyspepsia. liver, kid- ney. skin or nerve troubles, er some vicious chronic trouble. Ninety-nine out of a hun- dred of these poor chronic sufferers carry their maladies to their graves. A few go to the hospitals for treatment, but more are brought back dying or dead than come back improved. The only place where these chronic sufferers can get anything like half treatment, with any reasonable hope of cure, ix at some good health resort or institute. There are not many such places in the coun- try, and though very much in advance of any other methods of treatment, they are in many | respects wofully imperfect. ell, what I was going to say was, that we have, in the heart of the city of Boston, a new health palace, just being completed. which eclipses anything of the kind in the world, equal in beauty and grandeur to THE PALACE OF A PERSIAN PRINCE, where every kind of treatment in the known world is given by the most skillful, delicate, and gentle hands. “See here.” I said, “‘what do you take me | for? What are you giving me? Do you forget that Iam an old newspaper man, discounting fifty per cent of all I hear und see? And now. air, if this is not a creature of your brain, show this health palace to me.” Ina few inoments we were driving rapidiy along the historic commons, the public gar- dena and up Colurabus avenue. Halting on the corner of Columbus avenue and Holyoke streets, my friend said: “You can now get out.” Towering above us was a magnificent build- ing. _ stories high, of free-stone, granite and “This is the health palace.” he said, “and, although it is late in the day. I guess we will bo Permitted to see through it.” We were met at the door by a liveried ser- vant of the colored persuasion, who politely sbowed us into a large reception room ele- gautly furnished. the walls and ceilings bur- Rished with gold and silver, which harmonized 1 with the costly pictures on the wall. The reception room was filled with patients, | waiting to see the doctors, and sitting where we could see them coming and going from the different office rooms. “See here,” I said to my friend, brought me to a place of fascinating beauty, of sumptuous parlors filled with men and women. You say they are patients, still they seem to be happy. wonderfully happy. Tell me where Iam. What is this pia Just at this moment a young man—he was evi- dently officially connected with the enterprise entered the reception room and informed my friend that he was ready to show us through the building. “It is not quite finished,” aid the young gentleman, “but will be completed and open to the public in a few days.” Ineed not say that what I saw fairly dum- founded me and took my breath. [had had no idea that such a health establishment ex- isted in the world or had ever evolved in the brain of a human being. Here I am in the \idst of a palace. The palatial home for those ‘who need treatment. You would say at once it Was a palatial hotel, elegant in all its appoint- ments and richly furnis! no WARDS NOR IRON BEDSTEADS, ‘as you see in hospitals and many of the health resorts, but a palatial hotel, second to none in the country. On the roofs are sun baths and gardens. On the second floor. in ad- to bed-chambers, are private dining rooms and parlors. On the first floor lors, reception rooms, conservatory of wers, office, dining room, restaurants, news offices and reads “you have In the large. deep half-basement, are the bath departments, which is evidently the best elaborate bath establishment in all the country. Here are long rows of Russion and Turkish bath rooms. “Electrical rooms, for all kinds of eletrical treatment; not and cold sea bath rooms, sulphur bath Tooms; numerous bath room self.

If anything of the kin: = this earth, I have never seen it, or This magnificent swimming pool is filled with sea water, which comes through artesian wells from some subteranean ocean, which pours in a constant stream in and a constant stream out. ‘The decorations of the walls and ceilings of this lunge bath resemble the dazzling pictures of ‘airy land.

Turning to my friend I said: “Sir, I ask you for the last time, what palace of beauty and wonder is this?” He smiled and said: “Well, what do you say now to Boston being ahead: “Ahead,” [ said, “I'll give it that this is ahead of anything of the in the world. Bat you still fail to tell me what. “Weil, I will tell you,” it is. “Dr. BR. C. Flower,” I said. “Why, who has not heard of Dr. Flower? I know some of his patients in Washington, and I believe he occa- sionally visits our city.” “Yes.” replied my friend. “Everybod; knows Dr. Rt. C. Flower. Personally I have never had occasion to call in his services, but I have watched with a good deal of interest his prac- tice increase, until it has become the greatest practice in the world. His cures are the most marvelons of thisage. I think J can say, after a reasonable close acquaintance with many of his patients, and his methods of treatment, that he does, absolutely ‘and radically, eure cancer, tumor, consnmption, paralysis and nerve trouble. ina most marvelous manner. The first two diseases, without the use of the knife, and the others by modes of treatment different, more gentle and refined, than anything I have ever known, Unable to see the doctor himself, my friend made an engagement for me to meet him at 11 o'clock the following morning. Promptly at the hour I put in my appearance, but, to my surprise. I found numbers of patients waiting to see him. Some had come nearly 2,000 miles from the west, and two gentlemen from Galveston, Texas. While waiting, I recognized in passing in one of the halls, B. F. Gilbert, of Washington, ac. companied by a lady and gentleman. I wi soon ushered into a private office. Dr. Flower entered a moment later, and without waiting to be addressed, said: “Well, sir, what can I do for you?” I stated frankly that I had come to make some inquiries about his practice, and the new health _—— “T will have to turn you over to somebody par’ ti he said. But before he could do so I said: “Dr. Flower, tell me yourself something about this health home.” “Well, sir.” he said, “it has been my desire for years to build a place different from any otber place in the world—a place perfect in all things. like a large. palatial home; cheerful, beautiful and sun-shiney, where every kind of treatment of any merit can be given, skillfully, kindly, and thoroughly. This is just what this health palace is, ‘There is nothing in the world like it, and, as fer as I_know, has never been; but I seriously trust that we may soon have many such places in our country. If there is any cure on this earth for the sick they ean find it here.” “Now, docter, about your practice. I under- stand you h: atients all over the country.” ”* replied the docter, ‘in all parts of world.” “But you must excuse me just a mjnute, doeter, before you go. You have patients in Washington,” I’ said. “ Yes, lots of them.” “Will you kindly give me the names @ a few,” I asked. I will of some,” he said, “but many of my | angers for local reasons, wish their names ept secret,” he docter then gave me several names, and excusing himself, left the room. Since returning to Washington I have inter- viewed a few of the patients whose names I obtained while in Boston. Here is what they say : Gen. W. G. Coffin, 708 10th street northwest, said: “I think Dr. Flower is the most wonder- ful doctor and manon the earth. One year ago I was almost dead with catarrh, bronchial and kidney troubles. I had for years doctored with different physicians, but grew steadily worse. Asa last resort I went to Dr. Flower. and, to my suprise, he told me my troubles better than I could have told him, without ask- ing any questions. I placed myself under his treatment, and in a few months was cured. I have known of his curing many who had been given up asincurable. One man with con- sumption, pronounced incurable and beyond all hope, was permanently cured in a few months. I was well acquainted with the case.” Wm. T. Crump, 1420 Pierce Place, Washing- ton, said: “For eight years Iwasa great suf- ferer with spinal trouble. I had doctored for seven consecutive years, with the best physi- cians of the country. Went to Europe and other places in search of health, but, Gccag it all, grew worse and worse. “Finally my sufferings became so great that I lived on morphine to keep down the pain. In DESPAIR AND MISERY Iwent tosee Dr. R. C. Flower. Imagine my surprise when he told my troubles, and all about myself for years past, without asking me a question. Well, I placed myself under Dr. Flower’s treatment [that was some months ago]. Ibegan toimpsove at once, To-day I hardly know myself, and my friends hardly knew me, so great is my change. Dr. Flower took me off of morphine, and I have not had to use it since.” RECOGNIZING A FAMILIAR FACE, “Pardon me, Mr. Crump,” I asked, “but didn’t you used to be steward of WHITE HOUSE?” Now Mr. Crump is a large man, but an ex- ceedingly modest mam, and, blushmg deeply, he said: “Yes, sir. I had the honor of filling that — through the administration of President Hayes and President Gartield.” “Do I understand, Mr. Crump, that in the face of all your experience and opportunities that you consider R. C. Flower the greatest and most wonderful physician of this country?” “Icertainly do,” was his reply, “And I wish the sick everywhere knew of Dr. Flower.” Mra. A. F. Longley, 806 A street northeast, a most pleasing lady of sixty years of age, said: “Yes, sir, I was treated and cured by Dr. R. C. Flower, some years ago, of cancer in the stomach. Also of most serious cancerous diffi- culties. involving other organs, I had been iven up as incurable, and left to my fate to ie. Ivhad tried the leading physicians of the country, tried wa’ ng places, traveled, did everything I coul ink of, but grew worse and worse. The disease kept eating away. My mother bad died of cancer. Five in my family had died with the dread disease, and everyone knew that I was the next victim = for its eas only sent to Dr. Flower as a last resort with bat little — Ican never tell you my fee while in his hands, Just think of it! He told me all about my disease, and the dis- eases of my life withont asking me a question. I placed myself in his care and for the first time felt that there was hope of my recovery, and that I was in the haat ofa master mind who with ease read and controlled diseases, I rapidly improved, and in a few months was a well woman, I am to-day much healthier than the average woman of my years, Dr. Flower not only saved my life. but the life of many others that I know.” ied "Health Papers" giving s description titled “+ apers,” ing a of Dr. Flower,his work,his methods of treatment, and health palace, will be sent free of charge to any one sending two stamps to the “Specta- tor Publishing Compeny,* 417 Colambus av- Bessie—“Ma and pa have been quarreling, haven't they?” Willie—“Yep.” Bessie—‘Which one ‘the worst of it, do got it, you Willie—“Not yet.
