A Remarkable Cure.

We clip the following from the Mer-
rillan, wis., Leader of June 18th.
1884: 'sDr. Fishblatt, of GAINESVILLE,
was called in consultation, in the case
of L. B. johnson, Postmaster at Mer-
rillan, whom he found in critical
condition, having been given up as
hopeless by his family physician, DIR.
Hamilton, who has held several coun-
ellis with eminent physicians from
Chicago, who gave Mr.. johnson only
a short time to live. DR.. Fishblatt
took the case under his care, and all
who have known Mr.. johnson for the
past five years can see wonderful
change in him since DR.. Fishhlatt
treated him, and the doctor should be
entitled to some credit in the matter
from an ssalmost wish / was dead"
man, Mr.. johnson has been brought
in few months TO be nearly as well as
he ever was" Such atestimonial must
indeed be gratifying to DR.. Fishblatt.
But this is only one of the many cures
he is constantly performing. His rep
utation as skillful physician is be-
yond doubt, and we are pleased to
make note of his continued success in
his chosen PROFESSIONALLY Record
ar, gaResvilIe.

Kind Editorials that little imper-
sonal or neuter demonstrative pro-
noun, corresponding to the masculine
he and the feminine she, and having
the same plural, made trouble among
your applicants the past spring, we
pass our opinion as to ats posSessive
form and give it the only.
A word further as to the possessive
form or case, it does not always indi-
cate possession or ownership, e. g.,
schildren's Shoes" here the word
"children's' does not imply owner
ship, but simply specifies 'shoes' as
to size.
Further. frequently a customer en-
ters a store, and makes the inquiry,
''Have you boys hats for sale here!''
Which is only synonymous express
sion to the preceding example, merely
specification without ownership or
possession in the least.
The term sPossessive Case" form
is applied to Nouns and PronOuns to
indicate peculiar variation of words
in respect of form. and because the
form commonly indicates arelation of
possession it is ''PoSessive Case"
"A system VI SIdinHldI having. It's
foundation in the doctrine that l0Ords
and elements of sentences are to be
classified according to their Offices
and that is the proper criterion-must
class poSseSsice nouns and pronouns as
adiectives when not used substantial
ly.
Enough about the possessive its.

Although we have a crowded pro-
gram in our ungraded schools, and too
much work to do in the time at our
disposal, yet we should find time to
introduce another subject or branch
into the list of our school studies. /
mean this: we, as teachers, are not
doing our duty, if, in our labors, we
take no pains to instil, into the youth
full and plastic minds of our pupils,
the grand principles of Temperance,
and knowledge of alcoholic bevera-
ges and all their effects, mental moral
and physical.
All will concede that the things
which are of the most practical help
in forming a good character, and a
good citizen, are just the things for
the school.room. What tends more
towards good citizenship than temper
ance does!
"Early impressions are lasting,"
say our educators. Then let us not
look on the bright faces before us each
day, and say, 81 do not believe it pos
sible that those little fellows will ever
become drunkards; therefore | need
do nothing in that direction;" but
rather let us reason in this way:
Whence come the recruits that swell
the army of five hundred thousand
drunkards in the u. S. alone, and the
wherewith to ill sixty thousand
drunkard's graves each yeara
How can we accomplish anything in
this direction! Simply by going to
work.
The time you may have for "Gener.
al Exercises or oral work in bot.
any, would be plenty of time for this
work.
You can get text book on the sub
iect, such as Holman s ''Alcohol and
Hygiene" This book is arranged
neatly in short chapters, with ques-
lions appended. The book treats fully
on the effects of alcohol, and in an in
teresting way: telling short, interest
ing stories.
In New York state teachers are ex-
amined on this subject: Alcohol and
it's relations to Hygiene. Would it
were so in Wisconsin.
You may wish to ask, ''Do you do
this work in your school," l shall

RECENT CURE.
Mas. Kent, of Sank county, consult
ed DR.. Fishblatt on June 1st, 1888, in
regard to adisease which had troubled
her with constant increasing severity
for five years and half. She had
been treated for liver disease. dyspep-
STA, malaria and various other COM
plants without success; for a while
she suffered from these disorders;
there were other and more serious
complications which her medical adj
vi;ors failed to take into considera-
tion Upon careful examination, we
found the root of the disorder to be
deep-seated nervous and uterine dis
ease. Her blood WAS impoyished, cir
culation feeble and sluggish, nervous
forces torpid, and the whole system
gradually breaking down under the
general arrangement. She had pain
in nearly every part OF her body. /
told her that she was durable, but
the progress must be slow. She said
she could only expect improvement.
She was under our treatment four
months, when she was discharged in
good health. If she had expected a
cure in week, and grown impatient,
she would have lived and died
chronic invalid.

Fas, Tuesday, July fst, 1854. Tes-
tmon'atS from ntGny Residents oT
The testimonials of DIR. Fishblatt
from the residents of River Falls are
sufficient in themselves to convince
those who do not know him, of his
skill as physician. Many residents
of River Falls are ready to add their
testimony to those already given. 1t
should be remembered that the doctor
can remain only two days in River
Falls. His engagements in other cit
les will not permit him to remain
longer. Invalids have found in the
doctor real benefactor. He has CIV
en- them health and strength after
years of suffering and despair. Where
other physicians have failed, Doctor
Fishblatt has succeeded. If he cannot
do you any good he will tell you so.
No consultation fee asked.
For chronic diseases of every char
acter, and particularly for long troub-
les. DIR. Fishblatt's method of treat
ment is beneficial. His dispensary at
GAINESVILLE, Wis.,, is the Mecca of hun
dreds of invalids and a few have gone
in vain. If you are suffering from dis
eases of any character, call on DIR.
Fishblatt on his arrival in River
Falls, lay your case before him, and be
assured of sympathy and aid. He has
carefully Investigated the cause of the
diseases he SO readily cures. Ills mot
to is to remove first the cause of dis
ease. After that, cure is certain.
