ABBO
His System of Medicine and
What II Has Done.
Disease and Bodily AflIiCtiOn Removed
by His Mysterious Remedies
and Powers.

Since the establishment of the Abbo
Medical and Surgical Institute in this city
a wonderful record has been made in cur
ing disease and relieving distress and suf-
ferring caused by any of the various af-
fiictions to which the human anatomy is
subject.
Marvellous cures have been made. The
suffering victims of deadly disease have
been restored to health, strength and hap
piness at a time when their lives were
despaired of. The paralytic has been
given the full and fell use of his limbs
once dead and useless The deaf have
been made to hear and the victims of
eye diseases have been made TO see when
they supposed their sight lost All these
wonderful works have been done by ABB
DO and have been attributed to some su-
pernatural power bestowed upon him or
to the potency of some occult art master
ed by the mysterious doctor.

THE POWER OF MEDICINE.

Abbo does not cure by voodooism, the
laying on of hands or by hypnotsm. He
takes no advantage of the decisions or
idiosyncrasys of any person. To his learn
ing and skill as practical and efficient
physician is alone due his successful di-
asnosis of disease and his wonderful and
marvellous cures are attributable only to
Abbo's discovery of medicines that con-
tain ingredients that are remarkably pow
ertul in Graduating disease. Abbo's extern
sive travels, his years of learning, an ex-
petience and practice that has brought
him in contact with numbers of the most
difficult surgical operations and thousands
of complicated and dangerous disorders
of the human system rarely or ever seen
by the majority of the practitioners places
him in a position where he is able to
fully and intelligently handle any case
that may be brought under his care
By the system of medicine used by Alb
DO and obtained through his European ex-
perience he is in possession of a weapon
by which pain is relieved and disease
conquered. All forms of disease are treat
ed by Abbo, and no matter how incura1e
the complaint may appear many times a
patient is restored to a perfectly healthy
condition after only few weeks of Abbo S
eatment
If you are a sufferer from any of the
human ills it would be wise for you to
consult Abbo before it may be too late.
Consultation and examination will cost
nothing and if you then decide to have
your case treated, reasonable terms will
be made. Patients residing at a distance
can be successfully treated at their homes
