A CHARMING SUCCESS.
DIR. Wilbur Mixing Himself a Great
Name In SavaDn4h.

Name In Savann IN.
DR.. Wilbur arrived in our city week
ago, and already his fame has extended
to every household. On mis- arrival he de-
livered three OF his celebrated lectures at
Masonic Temple, and In each instance
the house was so crowded that standing
room was scarcely attaiuable. At each
of these lectures the doctor gave
in detail, not only by words,
but by the most scientific display
OF the human frame, so impressive
a discourse on the human body in its each
and every part, that all who were so for
tunate as To hear him, no longer hest ate
to believe that ne is In fact a master his
profession.
DR.. Wilbur is too well known over the
entire country To need any further intro
ductiOn to the public than to say that he
is not only a graduate of the first medical
college in the United States, but has spent
many years in Europe, in constant study
In the d ff-rent branches of his profess
sion. Graduating at the University OF
New York with the first honOrs
Of his class, he has, with untiring energy.
devoted himself to his profession, aud
stands before the world to-day man who
can, with all honesty, claim to be able 10
master every branch OF his profession OF
which he makes speciality. 1t has heen
our pleas re to meet DIR. Wilbur, and to
lind him most pleasant and agreeable
gentleman, who impresses all with whom
he comes in contact with not only his
wonderful skill in his profession, but
carries with it that gentleness of charac-
ter so necessary IN a physician,
While the Doctor can produce thous-
ands OF certificates from his many pa
tIents his reputation has reached that
point where such are not necessary, but
for the benefit of those who may wish to
know a few of the many cases he has sue
cessfuliy treated in this city during the
past week we give the following brief list:
Mr.. M, d. Bridges, clerk at AUDITORS
office, Savannah, Florida and Western
railway, resides at : Macon street, was
crOsseyed p years. DR.. Wilbur made
them perfectly straight in a minute. To
show how little pain the operation causes,
it. might he mentioned that little son Of
J. II Wilder, corner New Houston and
Lincoln streets, although but eight years
Old, had his eyes straightenpd without the
use Of any an9sthetics of any kind.
Another wonderful case was the cure
OF Miss Mary McNeiarnev. of 10 Taylor
street, who had been a terrible sufferer
for twelve years, at times having fits and
suffering untold agony, vainly trying
many of Savannahs and Atantas best
physicians, their failure To effect cure
being due to their inability to diagnose
her case correctly. ir. Wilbur said she
had tapeworm when first be saw her,
gave her some medicine and in a few
hours she was relieved of a monster
worm twenty-eight feet long. She indeed
feels verv grateful to the doctor.
Mrs. FlOrence Cody. OF 95 South Broad
street, has bad a pterVgium, or Pearl"
growing in her eye for some time. 1t
was growing toward the pupil, and would.
IL not remOv' d. have caused total blind
ness The doctor removed it In few
minutes, and now the lady's sight is per-
feet.
Another remarkable case is that of Mr..
II. G. Green, OF POI Bryan street, who had
been so deaf for nearly two years that
common conversation was inaudible, and
IL was with the greatest d tficulty that
he could understand any conversation,
even when one talked loudly to MIN. DIR.
Wilbur operated on him. He can now
hear a whisper and a witch tick, which
was impossible before. Another case is
that of Mrs. B. Toombs, of No. Sc West
Broad street. She has had mole grow
ing on her chin all her lie. which caused
her much annoyance and disfigured her
greatly. The Doctor removed it by
means Of a plaster, thereby causing no
pair. The above are but a few OF the
manv cures the Doctor daily performs,
and all VINO a suffering any disease OF
chronic nature should not fail to avail
themselves of his stay among us.
