CURED OF CATARRH.

MIR. 1. ID. Hirsch of ~ Bull Street
Cured OF a Most Aggravated Case.
Mr.. I. D. Hirsch is very prominent
and well known young man of this city,
and whose testimonial will carry with it
weight and influence. Mr.. Hirsch had SUI
fered for great many years with catarrh,
which had gradually grown worse, until
it had developed into a most aggrava-
ted and malignant form. The catarrh
from which Mr.. Hirsch was cured was
not of an ordinary kind, but a case, the
cure of which precludes the possibility al
most of a failure to eradicate any that
may be given the same treatment. So
long had the disease been allowed to have
its sway that one nostril had become clos
ed up by growths that prevented its use
even in breathing. The septem between
the nostrils had been completely eaten
out, and the natural result was a very
obnoxious and disagreeable odor.
All this has been remedied by Abbo's
curative treatment the nostrils are in a
perfectly healthy and normal condition,
and Mr.. Hirsch, owing to the weight of
this affection having been removed from
him. has gained nearly twenty pounds in
weight.
Mr.. Hirsch has kindly consented to the
publication of the following letter, which
was received from him by Abbo, and was
written in appreciation of the benefits de-
rived from Abbo's treatment:
Savannah, Ga, Oct. 20.-To the Abbo
Medical Institutes: It is with inexpressi-
BILE pleasure that state that l have been
absolutely cured of atrophic catarrh by
DR.. Abbo. The distress which 1 endured
from this annoying complaint is beyond
description, and the joy at being cured at
a time when / had almost become con-
WINGED that it was incurable can only be
imagined. 1 can conscientiously say that
the treatment and benefit that received
from DR.. Abbo were simply wonderful
and far beyond my expectations. To say
that l am pleased would be too mild. The
strongest word contained in the English
language to denote qualification and sat
isfaction would be required to properly
tell my feelings. l gladly recommend
Abbos treatment to my friends, and, in
fact, all sufferers from catarrh, and
firmly believe that they will have cause
to be thankful for the advice. Yours
truly. 1. d. Hirsch,

The treatment by which Mr.. Cooper was

Abbo Medical Institute:
Allow me to express my gratitude for
the great success made by DR.. Abbo in
Kidding me of what had become a source
of great pain and annoyance for several
years. Several well known physicians had
made attempts to locate the abcess in my
head but their efforts only tortured me
without avail. One of them had tooth
extracted and then probed up through
the cavity several times. believing the
abcess to be located on the jaw bone All
this only resulted In increasing my agony.
I trust for the sake of suffering human

The fact which can be proven by the rec

that the efficiency of Abbo has been recogl
nized and appreciated No such record
could be made otherwise. The intelligence

Der of people might have been attracted
to the institute for consultation, the JUS

no other institution has as large and al

here, and no operation, no matter how'd

would have to be performed, and again the

most capacities and again was 1t found
necessary to prepare for further increasing
the size of the institute and adding to the

Our Present Location.
Accordingly, the building at present oc-
cupied by the institute was leased on June
l, and the changes and improvements nee
essary to make 1t adapted in every way to
the purpose were Immediately made. The
consulting, operating and examining rooms
were made larger, more costly instruments
were purchased and several thousand doll
ars more were added to those already ex-
pended for the welfare of the patients. In
this building well supplied laboratory
was provided and the services of a compe-
tent licensed pharmacist was secured. into
whose charge it was placed. BY this ar
rangement Abbo is secure against fraud
and authorizations In the drugs and chem
icals which he prescribes, and by having
this department under the supervision of
a pharmacist connected with the institute
his patients are protected against receiv-
ing any impure or deleterious substances
in their prescriptions.
Scarcely had the institute become es-
tablished at this location when stin greater
demands were made upon Abbos skill and
it required almost constant and unceas-
ing work from early day until late at
night to keep up with the demands for his
services.
His Reputation Spread Far and Wide
In addition to the throng of people who
daily visited the institute Abbo was daily
flooded with letters from every corner of
this state and every portion of the whole
country requesting treatment by mail, and
so great did this mode of prescribing be-
come that more help was required to give
attention to those from afar seeking In
formation concerning Abbo's treatment
and stenographers were added to the In
stitutes force for that purpose.
So widespread had the reputation of
Abbo become known that the express
company. the steamboat lines and the
railroads daily transported numbers of
packages of his remedies to distant cities,
and nearby towns to those who had
sought his treatment and had become con-
WINGED that he could restore them to
health and strength. All this went to
prove that the people who had investiga-
ted his work had been satisfied with their
| inquiry and had secured abundant evil
/ dence to prove that the method of treat
ing disease used by Abbo was more skill
full. more efIicacious and far more sue
cessful than those pursued by any other
practitioners. Not only can the number of
patients at home and by mail be quoted
as evidence of that fact but there were
also received hundreds of testimonials
from people who had been cured by Abbo
and who were anxious 60 tell their fellow
