asthma. For the past ten years l have had
asthma, and have suffered almost death
Have sat up in chair day and night for six
to eight months at a time, not able to lie
down for fear of immediate suffocation, not
being able to walk the room nor leave the
house. tried almost every remedy l could
hear of, and have tried some twenty different
physicians, without success For eight
months before DR.. Aborn arrived in SAvan-
nah I was confined to the house, not able
to leave the room, nor not able to lie down
during that time, for If l had lain down
would have suffOcsted at once. No mortal
tongue can tell what I nave suffered. Hsv-
ing heard of DR.. Aborn's wonderful cures,
was induced to send nv wife to him for
treatment, which he sent to me BY
her, and in three OF four days time
it began to relieve me. and l i'm
proved so rapidly that in ten days time l
was able to leave the house, and felt quite
we'll. can now lie in bed and sleep souud-
ly through the night, thus getting sound
and refreshing sleep, thing that had not
enjoyed for so long time. had no sppe-
lite, could not eat or keep anything on my
stomach. Now have a good appetite, and
my food sgrees with me. l look and feel
like new man.
have recovered my health so that was
at work all last week at the Gulf Railroad
warehouse. During the whole period of ten
years have not had such relief as l have
obtained under DR.. Aborn's treatment Of

The Georgia Historical S1cIetY-A
New Departure.

New Departure.
Editor Morning Nea8s: Do the citizens of
Savannah know that the Georgia Historical
Socity, whose library has done so much
benefit to the community, took a new de-
parture at its anniversary meeting last week
and now offers the privileges Of its mem
bership on easier terms than heretofore
For forty years the society has charged an
initiation fee Of five dollars, aside from its
annual subscription Of five dollars. Every
member OF the hundreds who have Joined it
has paid this fee for the privilege Of election.
With 8 view to enlarge its sphere OF useful
ness and to benefit a larger number OF per
sons, the society has, of its own free will,
abolished this initiation fee, snd will receive
members hereafter for the simple subscrip-
ton fee of five dollars.
Surely It needs but an announcement OF
this change to induce many young men,
especially, to apply at ouce for member
ship. The advantages Of such membership
are great Aside from all that the society
has done in the past, for the history OF
Gsorgis, by publishing aud circulating i'm
portant documents, it presents TO It's mem
bers the only circulating library In the city
OF interest,". ADu INSTRUCTIVE 1OOAef WI n VI
art, engraviDgs and curioslties. It's elegant
hall is becoming filed both with valuable
books of reference and works Of instruction
and culture, TO say nothing OF all the best
novels. When II Is remembered, that the
use Of this fine hall, with It's amply sources
of culture. Is open day and night for read
ing, and that not only members may borrow
its books, but that their wives. sisters and
daughters nav do the same. each family for
aa annual subscription Of fire collars, the
wonder is that the membership has not been
very much larger.
If the difficulty has been that the sdmis'
sion fee barred the way, this difficulty Is
now REM we'd, and we hope to hear of
large number OF applicants at the next
monthly meeting, March OH. We doubt
not the Librarian, Mr.. William Harden, will
gladly explain to any gentleman the method
OF application.

Grocery Store Burned = IneendI-
aFfRm

Last night about eleven O'Clock an alarm
OF fire was sounded from the Waiver En-
CINE House, and subsequently from Fire
mans Hall by the Barlow boys, which was
responded to promptly, the Waivers with
their jumper, the Bartows with their steam
er, and the Werners with their truck. The
alarm was occasioned by the discovery Of
smoke issuing from the grocery store Of Mr..
c. NJ Tilton, on Whitaker street, corner Of
Liberty street lane, BY some parties who
were passing.
The fire apparently was started in the Gel
lar, and Is supposed TO have been the act Of
so iucendiary, as everything was ell right
when Mr.. TltOu left the store in the eve
Mug. The fremen soon had the flames IN
der control, aud it was not found necessary
to call out the entire department.
The stock Of groceries was entirely
rev, Mr.. Iilton having but recen started
business In the store, with Ell our aging
prospects. The stock was valued at 81 600,
upon which there was insurance for 50 500,
OF which 81 900 were in a company repre-
sarted by Captain John F. Wheaton, and
s., 500 in companies represented by Mr..
VI. A Cohen The stock Is almost entirely
ruined, but little damage is done TO the
bulldog. The fire IS a great misfortune to
Mr. Tilton, who yesterday morning had
smother serious loss in the sudden deah of
a fine horse. There have been several rob
berries perpetrated In that vicinity recently,
snd il Is not unlikely that the place was set
on fire for the purpose ofrobbery.
