THIS CUT IS FROM A PHOTOGRAPH
OF REBECCA MITCHELL, TAKEN ON
AUG. 8, AFTER TEN DAYS TREAT
MENT BY ABBO, AND SHOWS THAT
SHE HAS RECLAIMED FULL USE OF
THE ARM AND HAND.
The history of this case and its Won
derful cure by Abbo is, in brief, as fol-
lows: During the summer of 1898, while
at her home near Vaudeville, S. c., she
received a severe blow across the shoulder
with piece of board about an inch thick
and six inches wide. The lick was a ter
rible one, being delivered with brutal
force by a strapping negro man. She was
carried to her home and suffered intense
agony. Shortly afterwards the muscles
began to contract, the joints became stiff,
and she was compelled in her agony to
raise her arm from time to time until 1t
gained the elevation in which 1t was in
when she began using Abbo's wonder
working medicines. Rheumatic ankylosis
then set in and it was impossible to move
her arm one way or the other. To gam
some relief from the terrible strain, she
wore bandage around her neck, sup
porting the arm slightly, and as a result
of the continued wearing of this harness
for nearly three years she carries on her
neck an ugly sore. Her suffering was ex-
cruciating.
The hand and fingers had shriveled up
to less than half their natural size and
We're twisted and distorted. She had ap-
piled to several Savannah physicians, all
of whom agreed that no power on earth
could remedy the case unless by the am
putation of the arm. Nevertheless some
power did accomplish the desired result
and that power was the work of Abbo'
the Wonder Worker. He did not amputate
the arm. Abbo relieved the woman's suf-
fering. Abbo restored the use of her arm
for three years dead. Such cures as TINS
has given him the title of the Wonder
Worker.
Abbo continues to work these wonderful
cures, while the medical profession stand
aghast and his jealous rivals look on him
with envy. If you have been suffering all
your life and your physician tells you
that Your case IS incurable, go to Aldo:
Remember several skilled and learned
physicians could do nothing for the Wo-
man whose case is cited above, unless cut
of her arm, but Abbo. by a skillftl run
bling with his hands and by the aid OF his
wonderful medicines, has given her the
use of her arm. which the learned ana
prominent physicians would have cut on
and buried in the earth.

THE ABOVE IS A TRUE PICTURE
OF REBECCA MITCHELL AS SHE EN-
TERED THE ABBO INSTITUTE ON
JULY %. THE POSITION IN WHICH
HER RIGHT ARM is SHOWN IS THE
POSITION 1T HAD BEEN IN FOR
NEARLY THREE YEARS.
AS she made her appearance in the OF.
fee she presented to the patients who
were in waiting, a picture of agony and
suffering. With her arm held out
stretched at an angle of several degrees
higher than her head, she was a figure
of attraction, and when questioning
brought out the fact that her arm had
never been In any other position for one
instant during a period of over two years,
she was the subject Of pity and commits
GRAFTON. She detailed the horrible suffer-
ing she had endured, and that for over
two years she was compelled to seek sleep
and rest at night by sitting in a chair
with prop under the arm to relieve, to
some extent, the fearful strain on the
sinews. Those who saw her pitied her
and believed that she would until death
be compelled to suffer the tortures that
she, no doubt, was enduring

A Member of the Pastors Household De-
lights to Tell What DR.. Agnews
Catarrhal Powder Accomplished.

Like a charm. "
Members of Seneca street Methodist Church
Buffalo, are familiar with the astonishing
cure of a member of the family of the pastor
Rev. B. l.. Duckwell. There is a stage of
catarrh when the distressing discomfort
almost drives the sufferer to distraction, and
one remedy after another is tried with dis
couaging results. In that condition the first
use of Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder is
followed by a benediction of solacing ease
and relief. All the repulsive features of the
disease are Immediately allayed and re-
moved, and a permanent cure follow
with delightful rapidity. In Rev. Mr. Duck
wells family this sterling remedy acted, as
it does in all cases, like charm from the
very start. That is why sufferers should
always insist ON getting DR.. Agnew'
Catarrhal Powder at the start. Money is
wasted and distress is prolonged with trying
anything else. 80 cents. Sold at Kirlins
drug store.

lands most prominent families sailed
from New York last Saturday on the fill
clustering steamer Laurada for Cuba
where they will join the army of the in

Gus undertaking is said to have been
simply love of adventure and strong

LONDON, May 1G.-The Times publishes
three column letter this morning from a
correspondent In Havana, under date Of
Maya In the course Of the letter this cor
respondent says "It Is quite useless to
hide the real situation. The whole island
is in revolt, and the Spanish troops are
merely acting on the defensive Even the
position of Maceo's forces, confined in
Pinar del Rio, is not of a desperate nature,
as the Spaniards make believe. Only a
few isolated rebels have taken advantage
of Captain General Weyler's offer of am
nesty Spain has lost the power to protect
life and property in Cuba.
Widespread inquiries fail to justify the
charges of cruelty against Captain Gen
eral Weyler, but the rebels destruction of
property cannot be justified The wanton
burning of some 81 900, 900 worth of prop
erty belonging to inotfenslve people is not
war"
The letter proceeds to dilate upon the
economic ruin wrought by the break
down of the suger crop, which has rem
dered thousands destitute, while the to-
bacco trade is in still worse condition.
1.-The cigar factories of Havana, " the cor
respondent continues, "only have material
for few weeks, and the closing of their
doors means the throwing out of employ
ment of 1000 persons. The total exports
from Cuba are estimated at Slj, 100000,
compared with 100000, 900 for 1895. But

New Il Essls Up Near the Craser In the
Month Of August.
Late In the afternoon We selected
q level place near a bank Of snow at
an elevation of about 9, 500 feet. and,
gathering q few logs Of dead pines,
We made q rousing fire, and at night
fall unrolled our heavy California
blankets, sleeping nearer the stars
than ever had before. II was q
clear. cold night. The water froze
nearly an inch thick, and at 6:15 the
next morning, when We began our
ascent Of the crater, the thermome-
ter was 25 degrees F.
We rode our horses for an hour
until we came to the foot Of the ash
cone. and by 8:4b were on the sum-
NIT Of the crater. The view in the
clear atmosphere was indeed q wide
one. Far to the northwest was the
siskiyou range and Pilates Knob.
and to the west the jagged, saw
toothed, snow peaks Of the Salmon
mountains; 80 miles southwark was
the snow Glad solitary Lassens peal,
$4,000 feet high, while Klamath
lakes and the lava beds, the seat of
the late Modoo war, lay to the north.
eastward.
The scene was wild one within
the great crater, whose narrow edge
is formed Of sharp, jagged peaks
and pinnaoles. Broad, almost unbro-
ken snowf1elds extended from the
edge down for 1000 feet. At the
bottom were two frozen lakes like
sheets of glass. The crater was ex-
tinot, no signs of steam or Of re-
cont eruptions meeting the eye. We
were told that on the summit of the
cone there is hot steam vent, the
last dying embers of past volcanic
action. Mr.. Sissons, while guiding a
traveller to the summit, was once
belated and had to spend the night
there and saved the lives Of him
self and his companion by lying
close to the steam vent, the steam
passing up through the snow. On
their descent they slid down over
the snowfields of the summit to the
lava beds below.
The outlet of the crater, or point
of overflow at the last eruption, was
on the western side, where small
masses of black obsidian and white
inorustations of limo were observed.
