New York, March 31.-The recovery in
the stock market which set in yester-
day on the Introduction OF the railway

progress in the early trading to-day.

that the rise was being taken advan-

cordingly they soon changed their tao
tics.
American Tobacco made an excep-
tional advance of "a per cent, to 74A,
on rumors that the regular dividend
would be declared. After the directors
adjourned it was announced that div
idend of only per cent. had been de-
clared on the common stock, reduc-
ton Of per cent. from the last quar-
terly payment on February 7, and the
stock reacted to 721a.
The bears in the meantime continued
their attacks on New Jersey Central,
and succeeded in dislodglng considera-;

of the dividend, 1t was stated that some
of the mines in the Wyoming (Pa) dis
trict were flooded. and that some Of the
anthracite companies would suffer ma
terial loss. Jersey Central broke 6
points, to n, and this led to a raid on
Delaware and Hudson, which yielded
readily under the pressure, breaking
from 1o61a to 1007s. Lackawanna fell

Ellis experience is that of thousands
of others. With the opening of the BIZ
cycle season many young person and
hundreds of older people who have de-

health-giving exercise find themselves
really lacking the proper snap" or

They would like to ride, but they are

exercise, like any other, requires
strength to undertake. The blood is

Discovers what Has Proven to Bs
an InfalIibIe Cure for Disease.
Savannah during the last decade has
been the scene of many occurrences that
have given rise to comment and discussion
and that were made the subject of gener-
al conversation, but never before in her
history has the public and the medical
profession, as well, been so thoroughly
aroused and startled as they have been
since the coming of Abbo.
Without any display of pomp without
any boasting or vain promises, Abbo began
his work in the city over a year ago, and
the record he has made and the history or
the wonderful and mysterious cures he has
made during that time reads like chapter
after chapter out of a book of miracles,
The great curative principles that have
been used by Abbo and that have made for
him such a wonderful record are based
purely upon scientific medical teachings,
but which have been aided by the discov-
cries made by Abbo and which are to-day
secrets of his own.

study OF medicine and surgery was a
pleasure or in fact a gift acquired at am
early age and followed persistently with
a vigorous determination to continue his
study until he was rewarded by the fun
mastery of his chosen profession and had
made discoveries of certain systems OF
medicine which he believed to exist and
by which disease could be more success
fully cured and the suffering of the af-
flicted more quickly relieved than by
those methods in use at the time After
studying for years under the tutorage Of
his father, whose reputation as a phys-
clan and surgeon was widespread, Abbo
entered one of the best colleges of ths
country and from which graduated with
honors.
After obtaining what learning and
knowledge this school of authoritative
learning could give him, Abbo was not sat-
listed and determined to postpone the
practice of medicine until a thorough in
quiry in different parts of the world would
convince him of the best treatment that
those entrusting him with the care of thea
lives should receive,
