made profound impression. and silenced

came forward to exhibit his skill. His
trick was to make some small wooden fig

out his legs, when an assistant threw
across them a wooden blanket. Two small

As the horrible eating sore grew worse,
1t became evident that something must
be done to stay its spread. Medical ad-
vice was sought, and the fact incidentally
mentioned that she thought of going to

in the city.
He treated the cancer for a considerable

and declares that although Georgia is far
off on The yield, her crop compares favor
ably with that of other states. AS to
prices, they are above the average, and
the premature crop is selling off at a good
rate. with a host Of SPECTATORS now on
hand to take off the coming crop. This
viii IN a measure compensate for the short
supply. As to the condition of the crop
in the different states, in Michigan there

Kentucky only per cent. of the normal
Weld is expected. and in the Indiana fruit
district 1t will be notably short Colorado
is the exception this year, and will run
up 10 12 per cent. It is estimated that
80 cars will be sent out from this state.
California will also put up a good crop.
Georgia will be woefully short this year,
and 1t is thought that scarcely more than
100 solid cars will be shipped. This does
not include, Of course, crates expressed or
sent in other ways. Last year was con-
sidered a small crop when only 400 cars
went out. The year before 925 were ship

ENTERED THE EYE.

Despite the professional" treatment
professional because it is not advertised)
the cancer continued to spread, involving
the side of the nose and entering upon the
lower eyelid.
The condition of the patient was fast
growing critical. The probable loss of the
eye and Disagreement for life, caused her
untold misery and mental anguish Sew
eral times she thought of abandoning the
treatment she was receiving and following
her first intention of going to the Abbo
Institute. Simultaneously with her deter
mination came ringing in her ears the
words, They will surely kill YOU" and
she wavered from day to day.
Disheartened at her condition and her
failure to get relief by high professional
treatment Mrs. Murphy began to make
inquiries with a view Of ascertaining if
the alarm of her friends concerning the
Abbo Institute had any foundation in
facts.

for the relatives and friends to whom they'll

as affectionate, perhaps, in disposition as
the man of any other race, has become so1
accustomed to control himself and tol

SHE SOUGHT DEATH.
WHAT THE LADY SAYS.
Savannah. July 2, 1897.
The Abbo Medical Institute,


Savannah, Ga.
Will gladly testify to the fact that YOU
have cured me of a cancer which had ap-
peared on the side of my face and spread
to the edge of my eye. I am certainly
well pleased and satisfied with the treat
ment l received. and have much to be-
thankful for. 1 am sure that l would have
saved myself a great deal of pain and
misery, as well as expense, if I had con-
suited you sooner, which intended doingl
but was deferred by the reports of soma
people that I would surely be killed Z
These statements, however, 1 found to ba
unjustifable, and without foundation4
From my personal experience, I can as.
sure any one that they will certainly re4
ceive the best medical treatment at ther
Aldo Institute. Yours truly.
Mrs. Daniel Murphy.
421 Congress Street East.
In a few days The Abbo Medical Instil.
tute will move into their new building.

surgical treatment will receive the adj.
Vantages to be derived from all the latese
and best appliances and Instruments With
which the building at ia Liberty street,

INC will surely In you"

They will surely kill you"
That was the information given Mrs.
Daniel Murphy when she mentioned to
some of her friends that she intended Wis
iting the Abbo Medical Institute for the
cure of a cancer which had made its ap-
pearance on her cheek couple of years
ago. and was fast spreading over the en-
tire face.
Going to sure death was naturally not a
pleasant position for a young and COM
paratively healthy woman, so consequent
ly. with the above prediction ringing in
her ears. she delayed her intended visit to
Abbo. Time went by during which the
words of warning were constantly repeat
ed to her, and. although the cancer was
fast eating her life away, she could not
gain sufficient courage to visit the Abbo
Institute with the prophecy of death
hanging over it.

down to the bone. This was nearly a wear
ago, but Mr. Cooper was found alive, well
and hearty, with no trace of the horrible
cancer, and prsising Abbo for all he was
worth. They evidently have not killed
him." said Mrs. Murphy
She then heard a story concerning an
operation performed by Abbo on Mr.. B.
j. Mcintyre, who resides at Thunderbolt
out who is known by nine-tenths of Sa-
vannah's population.
EIGHTEEN MONTHS TO LIVE.
Mr. Mcintyre had a horrible, eating cam
Ger to appear over the right jaw bone.
professionally advice the kind that does
not advertise, was sought, remedies were
applied, and the cancer grew worse. Spe-
cialists (the professional" kindD were
called in, a consultation was held and re-
suited in Mr.. Mcintyre being advised to
die in about eighteen months. In other
words, he was given that length of time
to live.
Mr.. Mcintyre, however, outlivef the
professional representation. He con-
suited Abbo. the cancer was removed, and
Mr.. Mcintyre is to-day alive and happy,
and, from all appearances, is good for sew
eral more eighteen months of this life.
The most unfortunate thing in connection
with Mr.. McIntyre's case was that while
he was giving his case professional
treatment the cancer ate so deep into the
eye that 1t had to be removed.
Mrs Murphy looked up this case also,
and, instead of a dead man, she found in
Mr.. Mcintyre a very happy, live man.
They did not kill him, but surely cured
him." thought she, and in vain she sought
other cases that might justify the asser-
lions of her friends.
SHE SOUGHT DEATH.
In the opinion of these friends, Mrs.
Murphy finally sought death She actu-
ally discharged her professional doctor
and went to Abbo. Now we will see what
was the result Was Mrs. Murphy killed?
A visit to her residence, 421 Congress
street east, will quickly convince any ona
that she was not. Was she cured by
Abbo? That question can be also settled
by visit to her residence.
We will, however, for the convenience
of all who do not care to take the trouble
to call, publish testimonial from Mrs.
Murphy testfying to the cure by means
of Abbo's treatment
