The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1899-11-22

For twenty years DR.. Hathaway has
been known throughout this country as
the greatest Of all specialists in the treat
ment of those many distressing ailments
which make such iuroads on the consti-
tuition of men and woman. During that
time he has treated more cases and cured
more patients than any twenty doctors in
the country combined.
Many of these people-in fact, the ma
jority of them-he has never seen. Many
of them have lived thousands OF miles
distant from this office but by that pc
culiar Unborn accuracy of diagnosis which
the greatest physician must always have,
he has been able to tell, by means of cor
respondence and his system Of self-exam-
nation blanks, the nature of the disease
and by applying to il his peculiar meth
ods-the result of his own discoVery-he
has been enabled to bring about speedy
and permanent cures.

Postmaster General Reagan was also act

naval purchasing agent. Mr.. Davis had
entertained the hope up to this time OF
making his escape across the Mississippi
river and joining Gen. Kirby Smith. who
stiii remained in control Of the trans-Miss-

as could be gathered from among those
still remaining unsurrendered east of the
Mississippi he believed that Ike struggle
could be prolonged and an opportunity af-
forded perhaps for more favorable turn
in the affairs of the South. Mr.. Davis
advisers did not agree with him. They
realized that further continuation OF the
struggle was useless and would only pro-
