Interesting Statements of some Citizens of Connecticut. As nothing is more pathetic than the sight of humanity in the clutch of dis- ease, being slowly but surely dragged to the game, so nothing is more pleasing than to See the death drawn from his victim, and life and health reappearing where only a short time since hope seemed preposterous. The above thought was suggested by a visit a few days since to Dr. R. C. Flow- er’s health palace, where we had the pleasure of meeting a host of patients from almost all the states, who even seem- ingly enjoyed themselves hugely, while, if we are to believe their several experi- ences, are rapidly recovering health. I had the pleasure of meeting some parties from Connecticut, and thinking their ex. perience would be at once interesting to your readers and valuable to those who may be likewise afiiicted, I give their statements in the language of the patients themselves. SIDNEY M. CAPERS, or BRIDGEPORT, court, is one of the best,exemplificaiions of Dr. Flower’s marvelous skill. Wasted away with CONSUMPTION OF THE LUNGS and apparently doomed only last July, he is to-day, to all outward appearance, as well as ever. In response to inquiries concerning his case and treatment, Mr. Capers said: “When I came to Dr. Flow- er, I had given up all hope of living. Six physicians 1n Bridgeport had treated me, and the four most recent ones had each told me I could not expect to last long, but that they would make me as comfort- able as possible. In desperation, I may say, I went to see Dr. Flower, and here comes one of the strangest things to my mind of his treatment of my case. He, without the slightest hesitation and with- out asking me a single question or making any examination, told me all about my trouble, describing the condition of one of my lungs exactly as the other doctor had, and then added, “your left lung is also affected,” and putting his lhand directly an uh- -Run .. —e uulu, L116 21]“ IS there, a fact which no living person knew except myself. Well, I placed myself in his hands. He directed me to come to Bos- ton. andI did so with much difficulty, for I was then very weak, scarcely able to walk. At that time Ihad lost my appe- lite, slept but little and what strength there was left I was rapidly loosing by reason of night sweats and my terrible, racking cough. My voice was thin and high keyed, and altogether I was indeed in a bad way. I was also suffering from what is known ‘south as “double ague,” which I had contracted while in the south last winter, whither I had gone in quest of health. ' After I had been here a week I began to improve. In two weeks my night sweats had disappeared and the chills were less frequent. At the end of the third week I had gained two pounds in weight, my appetite was good as ever, I slept like a. child, the soreness in my lungs was less noticeable, and the night sweats and chills had entirely ceased, I have been here now several weeks and there is hardly a perceptible trace of my illness left, I shall now go home entirely cured. “Look at my hands,” said he, holding them out, “see those veins. how they stand out; nothing clammy about them, no furnished blood and impaired circulation there I” Dr. Flower is indeed a most wonderful man, and all the world should know of his remarkable power. He has just saved my life and all the world should know of his remarkable power. He has just. saved my life and you cannot state too powerfully what I have told you. He is so kind too, and all the at- tendants here so considerate, and the place so home-like. Nothing to suggest sickness but here we all live like one large family, each enjoying that which suits best. It is a veritable home of health, joy and peace. “My treatment,” he said in reply to questions, “has been mainly hot air inhalations, sun baths, oil rub- bings, massage and a little medicine of the doctor’s prescribing, together with nutri. ttous diet. ALICE 11mm, or CLINTON, coma, stated that she was only too glad to testify to Dr. Flowcr’s wonderful skill. She had been for years a sufferer from nervous troubles ending in COMPLETE NERVOUS PROSTRATION. Dr. Flower saw her, told her instantly the state of her health and while he did not promise a cure, told her he could help her. “Helms done so, too,” she added warmly, “and more than I ever looked for. Heisa blessing to humanity, and a boon to the sick and suffering.” E. w. DIUKSON, or BREWSI‘ERS, x. 12, said: “About eight months ago, I was in ° bad shape and went to see Dr. Flower in Danbury, Conn. He told me just where my trouble was and gave a brief history of my case, entirely unaided by me. He added that he could cure me in eight months. I was skeptical and did not decide that day to take his treatment. The second day after I felt so badly I de— cided to come to Boston and see him and did so the next morning. I had suffered tortures, for my trouble was a form of xxuvous DYSI’EI’SlA and for ten days prior to that time I had taken nothing into my stomach but hot water and toast, and even that gave me great distress. The first medicine of Dr. Flowcr’s helped me. For Six months I faithfully followed his directions and was feeling quite as well as over. Then my brother-Iu-law was taken sick, and the care of him and the worry, brought about a sort Of relapse in my case, but I rapidly recovered and a m now about well again, and ftel that I shall soon be as well and strong as LVCl'. NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1889. wife, is likewise a patient of Dr. Flowcr’s, and we feel very grateful indeed for the good he has done us both. In my own case I had consulted the best physicians obtainable before seeing Dr. Flower with- out rclief, had been obliged to give up my business, and I am sure that but for him I could not have lived. His methods are wonderful, and the results are even more so, I have no hesitation in indorsing Dr. Flower’s skill in any language you may write concerning my case.” These are fair samples of the expres- sions made by Dr. Flower’s hosts of pa- tients, who are now at his superb palace of health. .We give these personal because they are from this section of the country. Only a few, comparatively, of Dr. Flow- er’s patients find it necessary to visit his health palace, many thousands being suc— cessfully treated annually in their own homes. In fact from the expressions of gratitude and the warm commendations that are daily coming to Dr. Flower from every quarter of the union, one is impressed with the belief that not only does he possess a strange and marvelous gift of diagnosing disease with an accu- racy unapproached by other physicians, but that his treatment of disease is as marvelously sucCessful as his power of detecting disease is beyond the power of other physicians. Business will call Dr. Flower to Wash- ington in a few days and on his way thither he has arranged to new HARTFORD AND DANBURY.

One Of the most thorough and complete “changes of air” says Dr. Burney Yeo in the Nineteenth Century, is for a dweller inland to take a voyage on the open sea, and I now pass on to notice briefly the so-called “ocean cure.” In the first place it may be well to mention the advantages of a sea voyage, as they are generally stated; these are: 1. Pefcct rest and quiet and complete removal from and change of ordinary occupation and way of life; a very thorough change of scene, and perfect and enforced rest from both mental and physical labor. 2. The life in the open air, and the great amount of sunshine to be enjoyed; it is quite possible, under favorable circumstances, to pass 15 hours daily in the open air; and whenever it is possible the traveler by sea is certain to endeavor to escape from the close and some- times unpleasant atmosphere of a small cabin, into the pure air to be found on deck. 3. The great purity of the air at sea, and its entire freedom from organic dust and other impurities. In this respect it has an advantage over the air of theZOpen country, for the latter is apt to contain the pollen of grasses and other plants, which in some persons excites hay fever and asthma. The air of the cabins may of course be contamin- ated, but the air of the open sea is probably the purest that can be found anywhere. 4. The presence in sea air of a large amount of ozone, as well as of particles of saline mat- ter, more particularly in stormy weather, from the sea-spray, and them. may muck... a beneficial effect in certain throat and pul- monary affections on the respiratory mucous membrane. 5. The great equabiiity of the temperature at sea. This refers chiefly to the daily variations, which rarely exceed 4° or 5 ° F. It must be noted, as we shall see presently, that in a long sea voy- age very considerable variations of temper- ature are encountered, and in a swift steam— er the transitions are somewhat sudden. 6. The great humidity of the atmosphere and the high barometric pressure, which are considered to exercise a. useful sedative in- fluence on certain constitutions. It is said that the temperature of the body averages 1 ° F. less on account of this sedative effect. The exhilarating and tonic effect of rapid motion through the air; for by the continu- ous progress of the ship the sea breezes are constantly blowing over it, and the passed— gers are borne through the rapidly moving air without any exertion of their own. The influence of these currents of air on the sur- face of the body is no doubt important, act- ing as a stimulant and a tonic, increasing evaporation from the skin, and imparting tone to the superficial blood vessels. In The Mineral South. In the northern center of Alabama,on the main line of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad, thirty miles south of Anniston and thirty miles east of Birming- ham, lies Nottingham, the next coming city of that wonderful ironproducing State. Its present railroad facilities and others now building, its forests of yellow pine, its im- mense hematite iron ore and limestone de- posits, its proximity to coal and Its agricul- tural resources, make it the most promising location in that State, and destined in the near future to rival its phenomenal neigh- bors, Birmingham and Anniston. Many en- terprises are already located there and nego- tiations are in progress for two Blast Fur— naces, a Cotton and Silk Mill, Water and electric Light Plant and many other indus- tries. The enterprises now existing there to- gel her with those now under negotiation, and the influx of population consequent there- upon, coupled with the willingness of the Nottingham Iron. and Land Company to assist any new enterprises desirous of there locating, must and will add largely to the value of Nottingham real estate il'we may judge from the example of Birmingham, whose population increased from 3,000 in 1883 to 40,000 in January, 1889, and of An- niston,wliich in the last three years has in- crcIIScd from 2,300 to 14,000. The Birn'iing- ham Land Co. has paid 500 per cent. per annum for the past six years. The Notting- ham Iron and Land Company, at its Office, No. 47 Broadway. New York City, is now prepared to sell lots in Nottingham. Further particulars can be obtained of H EN RY C.

Last week Tuesday the Center, Couch hill and Boston schools were Opened. It is expected that the school in the Academy will be opened cre'long. Last week Monday the fifteen girls who came from New York City to breathe for two weeks the fresh air of the country, returned to the city. No more children Will be sent out this season. Some of the local farmers have topped their corn, and others have cut it up. The plowing for rye, which is in pro- gress is very difficult on account of the hardness of the ground. Summer boarders are diminishing in number, most of them having re turned to their homes. ————<+>——-—— The Connecticut Record writes up New Canaan’s building boom as follows: There is considerable building going on in town at present, and several more houses will go up this fall, John Patter- son will erect a new house near his resi- dence on one of the highest ridges which surround the town, from which can be ob- tained a magnificent view of the Sound and neighboring towns. Dr. C. B. Keeler will erect a residence which will be heated by furnace and have all the modern con- veniences. The fine “St.JOhn” property on Park street, which is to be laid out in building lots by F. E. Weed & Co., deal- ers in coal and building materials, will soon have a new house erected on it by George Kellogg, a member of the firm. B. P. Mead is contemplating the opening of a new street through his property, and Franklin Stevens has secured a building site which will then be a corner lot. This town is rapidly gaining in favor as a sum- mer resort, and the policy of the new bor- ough officials 18 to make the place still more attractive by improving the streets sidewalks, etc. Alreddy negotiations are being made looking to the lighting of the streets by electric ights. This is sound business policy, for every dollar that is put into improvements of this kind will yield large and sure returns. List of Patents.
