a or THE WASHINGTON CRITIC, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 20, 1889. PALACE FOR THE SICK. FINEST HEALTH HOME IN THE WORLD Bathy Amid Tropical Surroundingel The Largest Medies! Practice 011 the Continent -What the tor's Washington Patients About Him--A Reporter's Experience, In Boston Is Washington to Have New Sanitarium A few days ago a Post reporter was to Boston on buriness. Now, Boston called, said to be the Hub, an expression which, to the Bostonian, means the centre of the universe. One evening after diner, while enjoying a friendly smoke at the Parke: House, we asked our friend, who was birying himself in the thickening clouds from the weed: "Why is it that you Bostonians think the sun rises in East and sets in the suburbe of portion He paused' a moment; then facing about with a half-hidden smile, said: that 'le the way it does." Then, taking another puff, he continued: "I bave lived in New York, Washington, San Francisco and spent two years in Paris.

I 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: women; but when it comes, to everything destrable in a most advanced and state, much in little, you will find such things in Boston as you do nowhere else." Yes; we replied that Boston has long enjoyed a great reputation for baked beans 'and brown bread. "Stop, Robert," he said. "Don't! jest. I am serious in what I'say, for what I'say is true. I 'never eat beans or brown bread, 40 this claim we will not discuss, though believe it is true.

Candidly speaking, look at this city, with its great colleges, universities and seminaries. No city--no two citieswill compare with it. Is it any wonder that it is known as the city of culture? Look at our numerous and superior musical inetitutions, and especially our great New England Conservatory of Music, with ita 3,000 pupile and 150 tenchers. Nothing on this continent like it. Look at our art and historical museums, our fine system of public schools and our Latin schools.

Our gardens and parks will compare favorably with other great cities; also our churches and hotels. "In Washington you wilt' beat 118 in streets, but in suburban beanties and suburban drives we, excel any six cities of the country." Then, taking another puff, he said: "Look at our hospitals. You have nothing in Washington compare with them." "Hush about your hospitals," I said. "Don't mention them as among the credits' of any city. I have been twice in public hospitals, and nearly lost my life each time.

I have bad friends go there, suffering from some trivial trouble or slight injury, and after some unnecessary operation, killed and in a few days handed over to the undertaker. Don't mention hospitals to me. I have seen too much. I know too much. If the walls of these silent, licensed and indorsed prisons could speak, the nerve and fibre of the American people wonld grow cold and shiver with horror.

And here, old friend, we are ahead of you in Washington, for we have now being built by Dr. Hammond of New York a kind of medical institute or private hospital, which promises to be far ahead of the ordinary hospitals." 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 En 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 exposure. It will certainly be far ahead of the ordinary hospital, and many believe superior to the average health resort." 461 AM GLAD TO HEAR IT," was our friend's enthusiastic reply; "I tell you I am glad to hear it.

But in this respect more than anything 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 intoxicating properties. At this he burst out laughing. "You think I have been imbibing, do you Sit down and I will tell you something that will make Soon think I have been imbibing still more. WILL NOT BELIEVE -F, until you see it." "Go on," we said, "we shall be surprised at nothing we hear or 600 in Boston." "I said I was glad Dr. Hammond was building a health institute in Washington, for any improvement in the of the sick interests 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 neighborhood, 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, kidney, skin or nerve troubles, or some vicious chronic trouble. Ninety-nine out of a hundred 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, is at.

some good health resort or institute. "There are not many such places in the country, and, the though very much in advance of any -other methods of treatment, they are, in many respecta, woefully imperfect. "Well, what I was going to eay was that we have, in the heart of the city of Boston, a new health palace, just being completed, which eclipses anything else 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 skillfal, delicate and gentle hands." "See here," I said, "what do you take me for What are you giving me? Do you forget that I am an old newspaper man, discounting fifty per cent. of all I hear and see? And now, sir, if this is not a creation of your brain, show health palace to me." In a few moments we were driving rapidly along the historic Commons, the public gardens, and up Columbus avenue.

Halting on the corner of Columbus averue and Holyoke street, my friend said: "You can now get out." Towering above us WaS a magnificent building, six stories high, of freestone, granite and brick. "This is the health palace," he said, although it is late in the day, I guess we will be permitted to through it." We were met at the sea, door by a liveried servant of the colored persuasion, who politely showed us into a large reception room, elegantly furnished, the walls and ceilings burnished with gold and silver, harmonized well with the costly pletures 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 oflice rooms. "Bee here," I said to my friend, "you have 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, wonderful happy. Tell me where I am. What is this place Just this moment a young man- -he was evidently 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," said the young gentleman, "but will be completed and open to the publie in a few what days." need not say that I saw fairly dumfounded me and took my breath. had had no idea that such a health establishment existed in the world or had ever evolved in the brain a human being.

Here I am in the midet of a palace; the piJatial home for those who need treatment. Yeu would say nt cree it was a palatial hotel. Elegant in all its appointment and richly WARDS NOR LION HEDSTEADS, you see in hospitale, and many of the health resorts, but a palatial hotol, 832031 to none in the country. On the roofs are sun baths and summer gardens. the second floor, in addition to bed chambers, are private dining-rooms and parlors.

On the first floor, large parlors, reception- roems, conservatory of flowers, office. dining-rocms, restaurants, news stands, telegraph offices and reading-rooms, and in the rear of the building professional is richly furnished and set in jewels of the This floor beggars a description. It purest kind. It is very grand. Everything your eyes rest upon is artistic and superb.

The wood carving of the enormous arches, columne and pillars are the finest we have ever seen, and suggest the old Moorish palof the Orient. The building is lighted by electricity from top bettom, and in all rooms and halls are electric bells. Over seventeen miles of eleetile wires run through the building. There are two large front stairways, three back stairwaye and two elevators. The house is heated by a new process, which changes the air in every room of the building every three minutes, making and keeping each room the temperature desired, and keeping the floor of each room warmer than the In ceiling.

the large, deep half-basement is the both department, which is evidently the most elaborate bath establishment in all the country. Here are long rows. of Russian and Turkish bath rooms, for all kinds of electrical treatment: hot and cold sea-bath rooms, sulphur. bath rooms, medicated bath rooms, numerous shampoo rooms, spacious bath-room parlore for sitting, reclining and sleeping; and here let me say that this entire bath department. is fitted up in the same Oriental eplendor and beauty as is the building itself.

The plunge bath or swimming pool, in the centre of these bathe, 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 Ben water, which comes through artesian wells from some subterranean ocean, which pours in a constant stream in and in a constant stream out. The decoratione of the walls and ceilings of this plunge bath resemble the dazzling pictures of fairy land. On one side the spectacular view of the ocean, with its surging waves and ships arriving and departing.

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, various tropical creatures and animals appear, coming. from their hiding places, while down yonder grotto, which looks almost a mile away, poure a Niagara of water, spurting amid the lilies and the flags.

Slowly we ascended to the office, hating to take the laet view. of this marvelous pacorema of beauty. Turning to my friend, said: "Sir, I ask you for the last time, what' palace of beauty and wonder is this 911 He smiled and said: "Well, what do you say now to being ahead 911 "Ahead," I said, "I'll give it up, that this is ahead of anything of the kind in the world. But you still fail to tell me what place it is." "Well, I will tell you," he said. "It is the new health palace of Dr.

R. C. Flower of this city." "Dr. R. C.

Flower," I said. "Why, who has not heard of Dr. Flower? I know some of his patients in Washington, and I believe he occasionally visits our "Yes," replied my friend, "everybody knows Dr. R. C.

Flower. Personally, have never had occasion to call in his services, but I have watched with a good deal of interest his practice increase, until it has become the greatest practice in the world. His cures are the most marvelous of this age. I think I can say, after a reasonably close acquaintance with many of his patiente and his methods of treatment, that he does, absolutely and radically, cure cancer, tumor, consumption, paralysis, and nerve trouble in a 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 myself, 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 Weet, and two gentlemen from Galveston, Tex. hile waiting, I recognized, in passing in one of the halls, B. F. Gilbert of Washington, accompanied by a lady and gentleman.

was soon ushered into a private office. Dr. Flower entered a moment after, and, without waiting to be addressed, said: "Well, eir, what can I do for you 211 I stated frankly that I had come to make some inquiries about his practice and the new health palace. "I will have to turn you over to somebody else," he said. But before he could do 60 I said: "Dr.

Flower, tell me yourself something about this health "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 larga, palatial home. Cheerful, beautiful and sunshiny; where every kind of treatment of any merit can be given skillfully, kindly and thoroughly. This is just what this health palace ie. There is nothing in the world like it, and, as far as I know, has never been.

But I seriouely trust that we may soon have many such places in our country. If there is any cure on this earth for the sick they can find it here." "Now, Doctor, about your practice. I understand you have patients all over the country." "Yes," replied the Doctor, "in all parts of the civilized world." you must excuse me just a minute, Doctor, before you go. You have patients in Washington," I said. "Yes, lots of them." "Will you kindly give me the names of a few?" I asked.

will of some," he said, "but many of my patients, fer local reasons, wish their nones kept The doctor then gave me several names, and, excusing himself, left the room. Since returning to Washington I have interviewed a few of the patients whose names I obtained while in Boston. Here is what they say: General W. G. Coffin, 706 Tenth street northwest, said: "I think Dr.

Flower is the most wonderful doctor and man on the earth. One year ago I was almost dead with catarrh, bronchial and kidney I had for years doctored with different physicians, but grew steadily worse. As a last resort I went to Dr. Flower, to my surprise he told me my troubles better than I could have told him, without asking any questions. 1 placed myself under his treatment, and in a few months was cured.

I have known of his curing many who had been given up as incurable. One man with consumption, pronounced incurable and beyond all hope, was permanently cured in a few months. I was well acquainted with the case." William T. Crump, 1420 Pierce Place, Washington, said: "For eight years I was a great sufferer with spinal trouble. I had doctored for seven consecutive years with the best physiciane of the country; went to Europe and other places in search of health, but through 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 I went to see Dr. R. C. Flower, Imagine my surprise when he told my trombles and all about myself for years past without asking me a question.

Well, 1 placed myself under Dr. Flower's treatment. That was some months ago. I began to improve at once. To-day I hardly know myself, and my friends hardly know me, so great 18 my change.

Dr. Flower took me off of morphine, and I have not had to use it eince." RECOGNIZING A FAMILIAR FACE. "Pardon me, Mr. Crump," I asked, "but didn't you use to be steward of THE WHITE HOUSE Now, Mr. Crump is a large man, but an exceedingly modest man, and, blushing deeply, he said: "Yes, sir; I had the honor of filling that position through the administrations of President Hayes and President "Do I understand, Mr.

Crump, that in the face of all your experience and opportunities you consider Dr. R. C. Flower the greatest and most wonderful physician of this country "I certainly do," was his reply, "and wieh the sick everywhere knew of Dr. Flower." MrB.

A. F. Longley, 800 street northeast, a most pleasing lady of 60 years of age, said: "Yes, sir; I was treated and cured by Dr. R. C.

some years ago of cancer in the stomach, also of most serious cancerous difficultics involving other organs. Thad been given up a8 incurable and left to my fate, to die. I had tried the lending physiclare of the country, tried watering places, traveled, did everything I could think of. but grew worse and worse. The disease kept eating away.

My mother had died of cancer. Five in my family had died with the dread disease. and every one knew that I was the next victim marked for its prey. only went to Dr. Flower 08 a last resort, with but little hope.

I can never tell you my feelings while in his presence: Just think of it! He told me all about my disease and the diseased of my life, without asking me a question. "I placed myself in hie care and for the firet time felt that there was hope of my recovery and that 1 was in the hands of a master mind, who with ease read and controlled disease. "I rapidly improved and in a few months was a well woman. I am to-day much healthier than the average woman of my yeare. Dr.

Flower not only saved my life, but the life of many others that I know." A most valuable and interesting work entitled "Health Papers," giving A description of Dr. Flower, hie work, hie methods of treatment, and health palace, will be gent free of charge to any one sending two stamps to the "'Spectator Publishing Company," 417 Columbus avenue, Boston, Muss. This valuable work should be read by every invalid in the world. We were informed by one of Dr. Flower' patients that be was negotiating for extensive properties in one of the suburbs of Washington, with a view of establishing do health resort with a capacity for twelve; hundred patients.

If Dr. Flower could bel induced to do such a thing for Washington, we would then go. all the way to the Hub, to. say. to our Boston friend, that Post, "Washington February 16.

Chairman Toulbee of the special committee that luvestigated the school site parchores hne submitted minority report to the House. Mr. Taulbee devotes a great Ceal of space to show that the testimony has teen changed and modified since it. W.19 taken. He claims that Mr.

Cox's testimony has some very material changes since it was delivered. He doce ret agree with the conclusions of the majority, exonerating the Commiasioners. But in the opinion of Mr. Taulbee the questions to be determined are: Did the Commissioners exercise proper diligence and caution in the purchase of property for the District Did they purchase the property as cheaply as they could have done by negotiation directly with the owners? and did they exercise reasonable and ordinary diligence in preventing a waste of money belonging to the District? On these pointe he believes that the testimony establishes beyond the fact that in most the cases in which Cox acted as intermediary the purchase could have been made from the owners of the property at the price which the District paid, less the profits resulting from the transaction by Cox; and white the Commisstoners have not, in his opinion, profitted or attempted to reap any profit to themselves from any of these tranenctione, they unquestionably had an understanding with Mr. Cox, their warm personal friend, that he should, by these tranctions, make an unusual and unreasonable profit.

He says that while the Commiseioners bave not been guilty of anything that would be coneidered criminal, their methods have been unwise and and it s6vore of a favoritiem, the result of which has' conbled those favored by them to realize extraordinary compensation the work neceesary to be performed in the matter of these purchases at the expense of the interest of the tax-payers of the District. He recommends that Congress, prohibit, by proper legislation. the repetition of these questionable methods of administering the affairs of the District, and to thus check the evident tendency to manage the public, afans of the District in the interest of private individuals and private interests.

The small amount of iron which they contain renders them very the useful in the stages of Throat Consumption, and they do good in nearly all cases of relaxation of the mucous membrane. The Pastilles offer a most convenient method of using the waters; producing both a local and general effect. They are e6- pecially beneficial in catarrhal diseases of the air passages; I have frequently found them of great service in the case of Bingers and Public Speakers. Singed, MORRELL MACKENZIE, M.
