THE LAST CHANCE.
DR.. j. Harvey Moore VIII Close his
ONCE In Fort worth Next q
Tuesday Might.

AS the time approaches for Or. Moore
to leave Texas the people realize more
fully the great opportunity that he has
given them Of securing expert treat
ment right at home. The cures Or.
Moore has performed In Texas remind
one of the Biblical miracles, He has
restored sight to the blind where the
most skilled oculists failed to even re-
lleve them. He has unstopped the ears
of the deaf and cured catarrh and other
diseases in his special line that have
resisted the treatment of eminent spe-
clallsts for years The fact that Dr.
Moore's testimonials are from some OF
the most prominent and wealthy citi-
zens OF Texas are proof positive that
there is no question as to their gehu-
ineness. DIR. Moores visit to Texas
has proven a great blessing to all the
cities he has visited. He has saved
many q man and woman from life
of misery and started them on happy
life of usefulness. He Is a benetactor
to his race. There is yet time for those
in need of his services to be examined
ana be furnished a course OF treatment
which the patient can use at home.
The doctor will close his otiice nei
Tuesday night, the 10Th. and leave for
his home In Atlanta, Ga. where he has
a large practice awaiting him.
