HIS STAY PROLONGED.

DIR. wilbur. the Specialist, to Remain
Till May 26-SOme of the Many Cures
Made by Him this Week.
DR.. Wilbur, the specialist, having made
some surgical operations that need his
personal supervision, has decided to pro-
long his stay in Savannah till May %.
1t is probable that no one man ever re-
ceived as many calls as he has in so short
time. His office at the Marshall IS filled
from morning Till night, not only with
many of the best people Of savannah, but
hundreds coming from outside the city to
consult MIN.
Or. Wilbur is not one OF those who
claim magic power of healing, nor does
he propose to cure every case presented to
! him for examination. He deals candidly
with all, and il he does not see the way
clear for restoring those who call on him,
they will not be encouraged by false hopes.
/ In confirmation OF this fact he has de
clared over so cases incurable among the
vast mum bers who have sought his atten-
ton during his stay here. The fact that
be will not undertake incuraDIe diseases
guarantees to one the assurance that
itOne's case IS taken IN hand cure is
possibility, and, judging from the Doctors
work in our midst, probability,
His work among us has been great, al
most phenomenal. Sufferers VINO have
! for years found no relief in hundreds OF
prescriptions, and bushels and barre s OF
/ medicine have. under his treatment, been
made to acknowledge an almost new ex-
! istence and bless the talented gentleman's
! visit to our city as only can the sufferer
relieved OF pain, and the invalid restored
| to health, and the cripple made to walk
/ erect, and the deaf hear, and the blind
made to see, bless the source from whence
their happiness has sprung, or in which
their delivery from bondage and pain was
conceived and executed.
! The NEWS has cOnversed with score s
! of persons who have been treated by DIR.
Wilbur for different diseases. These per-
sons are unstinted in their praise of the
doctor, while many, from a sense of mod
esty. refrain from making public the obli-
cations they are under to the wonderful
man. Not few have published testi-
mOnials of his cures and present them
selves thoroughly as living evidence of
that to which they testify. Below are
given few OF the cures effected by him
during the past week.
Mrs. Gertrude SILVA, who resides on East
Broad, second door south of TAYLOR street,

ing no pain.

caused them to be greatly swollen and in
| famed. and their removal an extremely DELI
cate operation. DR.. Wilbur removed them

ladies of Savannah.
