First taking hold of it by the flipper, and for while supporting it above water, with shove she sends the youngster adrift, leaving it to shift for itself. In a short time the little creature becomes exhausted, when she takes fresh grip on it's flipper, and again supports it till it has recovered breath, after which there is another push-off, followed by d new attempt to swim, the same process being several times repeated to the end of the lesson.

Second visit of this celebrated doc
tor. Some remarkable cures which
he has accomplished. The sick and
sore eager for his arrival. A few of
his accommodating testimonials.
DR.. Fishblatt arrives on his second
visit at the fremont House, River
Falls, Tuesday, July 1st, and will only
be able to remain two days as his SER
vices elsewhere are needed. His in
stitution at GAINESVILLE, Wis, requires
him most of the time, which is crowd
ed, and many are turned away.
The very strong endorsement given
to DR.. Fishblatt by the medical pro.
fession and testimony of those upon
whom he has effected wonderful cures
have rendered his movements of much
interest to the afflicted. The cures he
has effected in this city and in many
other places, are so well authenticat-
ed that one cannot doubt his compe-
tence to do just what he processes to,
and as there are but few who really
come up to their professions of skill
and ability in treating the diseases
that afflict humanity, it is right to
patronize a man like DR.. Fishblatt,
who does all he promises to perform.
The treatment of diseases which mar
the happiness of thousands of people
has secured him an immense practice
and likely he will be crowded by pa.
tients during his visit here.

ttntontdtS from many residents OF

The testimonials of DR.. 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 a real benefactor. He has CIV
en- them health and strength after
wears 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. DR.. 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. His mot
to is to remove first the cause of dis
ease. After that, cure is certain.
