The Torture
Of Headache.
Ninety Per Cent. Of The Entire People
Suffer From This Annoying
Complaint.
CURES THAT HAVE BEEN MAD9

There are few people who have not suf1
fered at some time from headache and itsS
accompanying disorders. 1t is safe to esd
innate that fully 80 per cent. of people
are sufferers from this disorder to a moro
or less degree. No complaint is as ana
noyng, none so distressing, and although
in many cases apparently of a simple ma
ture, none so obstinate to the powers of
medicine and so battling TO the skill Of tha
medical profession.
AS a result of this hundreds of people
have suffered year after year without OBJ
tanning the slightest relief Their men
tai faculties have been destroyed, their
health undermined and their physical de-
velopment dwarfed from the continuous
attacks of migraines to which they been
subject. Minds and intelects have been
destroyed, crimes have been committed,
delirium has been made a common dis
ease, madness of no unusual occurrence
and suicide made a ready relief by this
harrassing affection. No class of sufferers
so madly seek relief as do the sufferers
from headache. Fortunes have been
spent in vain by the rich while the last
.oentNof the poor sufferer is spent in an
effort to obtain a cure.
The medical profession dislike such
cases. Their efforts to cure have in so
many instances resulted fruitlessly that
they are not sanguine of success in any
such cases that they undertake
For this reason Abbo has made a study
of diseases of this nature and in all such
he has been phenomenally successful.
Cures have been made after years of silf.
fering and when all hopes had been aband-
oned. BY Abbo's remedies the wrecked
mind has been restored and the morose
and meneholy victim of headache and
nervousness has been made happy and
joyful.
The Abbo Medical and Surgical Institute
has had hundreds of letters from patients
who have been under the Abbo treatment
for this class Of complaints, and all of
which prove that they have discovered a
positive cure for all diseases arising from
migraines.
The following is taken from a letter
written by Mr.. A L. Slocum of Bruns-
wick, Ga, who has been under the Abbo
treatment short stime. Mr.. Slocum had
suffered for years. during which he had
spent hundreds of dollars, but was una
bic to secure any relief:
Brunswick, Ga, Dec. $50 The Abbo
Medical and Surgical Institute, ia Liberty
Street, West, Savannah, Ga-Gentlemen; 7
finished the last medicine about ten days
ago and have been watching for any
symptoms or feelings of headace since.
After your treatment / certainly feel lSe
a different man, and believe that 1 viii
have no trouble after this With MANY
thanks for the relief your have given me,
I am gratefully yours, A. L. slocum.

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-01-02

President Freedman of the New York
club has announced that he wiz divide
s. coo among the players Of the New York
team if the team finishes first in the pen
nant race President Freedman believes
that the men should have something to
look forward TO In the event that they win
the pennant and to make up for the
money which the players would have de-
rived from the Temple series had it not
been abolished. he has made this offer.
The team gets nothing unless it wins the
rag, there being no second money.
1t is easy to understand that the men,
bers of the New YOrks are pleased with
President Freedman's announcement, and
while they say they need no incentive 20
spur them on. they nevertheless appre-
ciate their presidents generosity.
President Freedman is safe in making
this offer for should his team be fortu-
nate enough 10 land the pennant it would
be like picking up money for the New
York stockholders. A winning team in
New York would pack the Polo grounds
every day. This should not detraet any
from Mr.. Freedman's offer, however, and
it might be followed by other of the league
clubs with good results.

HOW SHE GOT $4,000.
"Nrs. Smith" stole "a Supreme Court
Opinion for "a Lobbyist.
From the Chicago Record.

From the Chicago Record.
Some years ago the widow of a famous
union general was intimate with the wife
and daughters of a justice of the supreme
court and was as familiar with their
home as with her own, which was in the
immediate ne ghborhood. She was also init
mate with the family of a prominent and
popular lobbyist, who was supposed to rep
resent Jay Gould, C. p. Huntington and
other men of large interests whenever any,
thing concerned them in congress. All the
parties are now dead except the lady in
the case, whom l will call Mrs. Smith.
She was a handsome, ambitious and frjy-
olouS woman, whose husband committed
suicide by drowning himself in his bath
tub. She lived gay life afterward but
managed to keep many Of her old friends
Knowing her love of money and the fact
that her income did not keep pace with
her expenses. the lobbyist told hsr he
would give her $4,000 if she could get him
a copy of the opinion which the justice
was expected to deliver in the supreme
court on the following Monday. involving
the constiutionality of the Thurman pa
citic railway law. He told her that he
knew the opinion was in manuscript, and
believed that the judge had it locked I'D
in the desk in his library.
sunday morning, as soon as she saw the
justice and his family start for church
she went across the street, around Thomas
Circle, rang the bell and told the servant
that she wanted 10 look at book in the
justices library. As she was accustomed
to go about the house almost daily, thew
thought nothing of it, and she was al
lowed to remain undisturbed in the same
room with the decision for nearly TWO
hours. 1t is supposed that she had set
of false keys, for the justice said that the
opinion was locked up in his desk. and
could not have been reached otherwise
But, at any rate, the lobbyist is known
to have obtained the opinion in advance.
and the woman was shortly after able
to pay off some pressing obligations. An
investigation disclosed the facts I nave
stated, and 1t seems to be the only possI-
BILE way the opinion could have been OBJ
tanned. OF course the incident terminal
ed when the story got out about town.
Mrs. Smith found 1t more comfortable to
rent her Washington residence and remove
to New York.

TRIANGULAR RACE IN DOUBT.

1t is a matter of doubt whether Yale

race in '98. Yale wants Cornell to race on

Yale is willing to race at Poughkeepsie
but will not, under any conditions sign
an agreement for more than one year
They claim that Cornell is not entitled to
it, but outsiders seem to think that con-

position is an unjust one.
At any rate, the big colleges are far from
coming TO an agreement and it is feared
that it will end in Yale and Harvard row.

Cornell is believed by many to have the
