A TALK ON MEDICINE.
ABBO, THE WONDER WORKER,
ENTERTAINS 4 REPORTER.

Thinks That Advertising Is Not
UnprofessionaI From Medical
Standpoint in These Advanced
Days.
A News reporter while on his usual hunt
for news this morning. dropped into the
Abbo Institute, on Liberty street, for the
purpose of interviewing its doctor, who,
since his advent into our city. has been
the subject of so much talk. The report
er, upon entering the waiting room, soon
found that an audience with DR.. Abbo was
not easily gained, as the place was filled
with persons anxiously waiting their turn
to see the doctor and suspiciously watch
ing the stairway lest some person might
be admitted ahead. After some pleading
with the janitress and an explanation by
her to the crowd that the reporters visit
was strictly a business and not a profess
sonal one, the reporter was allowed TO
make his way up to the wizard s consul
tation room. Here he found DR.. Abbo,
and as the reporter entered thought oil

miraculous cures fitted across ms hihd

His timidity. however. was Immediately
dispelled by the doctor, who greeted him
with a pleasant smile aud upon learning

make himself perfectly at home. Iheh

Upon the doctors return the News man

We'll" said the doctor IT will with
pleasure give you any information that
may be of interest. OF course, as Tar as
my method of treatment is concerned that
cannot be discussed to sutnclent extent
to give the public much information. We
have our particular and we might say Sc
cret. modes of treatment for a great many
| diseases. These have been acquired only
by our experience and study. Our medi-
cines have had startling and wonderful eff
fects And why? Simply because we
have carefully studied our business and by
giving it the time and attention required

immense practice has brought us in con-

have discovered to be most potent, we have

1--WE most assuredly do" said the doc
tor; land, what is more, we expect to in
crease our business to such an extent that
its capacity for accommodating those who
apply for treatment will be taxed to it's
utmost We did not come here for short
stay and, if we had, our success has been
so great that We would have been com
PEELED to remain"
Now. doctor" asked the News man,
do you think that physician who ad-
vertises should be considered outside the
recognition of the profession2'
wen. l should say not; that sentiment
may do in small town and old 'Squills
and Ipecac may hold up his hand in holy
horror at the publications of the cure by
some specialist of a case that he had been
tinkering with for years, but if they at
tempted to exclude from their set all the
prominent and world-renowned members
of their profession who seek the columns
of the papers to announce their discover

ease they would soon find that only the
small fry would be left in their brother
hood But all this talk about doctors not
advertising is ancient in the extreme.
Those who do not use our daily papers send
to the medical journals accounts of some
simple case that they may have succeed
ed in alleviating and all of them watch
for and eagerly scrutinize those papers
with a hope of gaining new light and in
formation which some of them lack
RELIEVED SUFFERING PEOPLE.
"Since our coming to Savannah we have
relieved hundreds of suffering people,
many of whom We're leading lives of mis-
cry. Local physicians had failed to give
them the relief they sought We have
cured numbers of people who had been told
that they were incurable. and. therefore,
why should we hesitate to advertise our
work? Why should we keep back from
the public information that would be the
means OF bringing before hundreds OF 9TH
er suffering creatures the opportunity to
be freed from their misery and distress?
We propose remaining in Savannah, we
intend to continue our legitimate advertis-
ing and we intend to prove to the salts
faction of every citizen that what we have
claimed was true i'm every particular and
to prove our right TO the praise which has
been given us by the best people of the
CITY,"
A WELL-EQUIPPED INSTITUTE.
Alter the above conversation DIR. Abbo
escorted the News man throughout the in
stitute, pointing out and explaining the
use of this appliance and that instrument
and the different departments of the es-
adjustment. During his stay the reporter
gained considerable knowledge. from a
medical standpoint. and was most favor
ably impressed with the DOCTOR or, as he
is better known, the wonder worker"
