READ AND COMPARE.

Has it ever occurred to you that al
most every month in the year an adj
vertisement and the face of a different
doctor" appears in the newspapers of
the town, and have you ever given the
matter few moments consideration?
Has it ever occurred to you there is one
face which has appeared in your papers
regularly now for more than IA years?
DR.. Turbin's face is as familiar to the
readers of this paper as the paper itself,
for he is not travelling doctor" now
here now there, coming to a town once
or twice, taking peoples money, then
not showing up again.
Dr. Turbin only visits certain few
towns in Wisconsin through the solic-
itation of friends and patients and
has been visiting them regularly for the
past IA years. He is a hard working,
conscientious physician who gives to his
patients all the benefit of his skill and
knowledge, as can be testified to both
by his patients upon whom he has
operated in Chicago, where he has an
extensive practice, and his friends and
patients in this vicinity.
= The doctor only mentions names of
patients cured when he obtains their
special permission to do so. We're he

FATTEN HOGS ON VENISON.

A special from Superior says: The
slaughter of deer and other game in the
woods of Northern Wisconsin and es-
pecially in Douglas county, is reported
to be as great just now as It ever has
been in the closed season. Out IN the
Chaffee settlement in this county the
animals are being killed in such great
numbers that only the choicest bits of
meat are being saved and the rest the
settlers use for hog fattening purposes.

Where are our game wardensy There
is more truth than poetry in the state
ment that las for that, all game killed
ont of season is used for the same pur-
pose1 the deer killed now is used for
hog fattening purposes, but they are

Just Seventy-four days on the road.
The box undoubtedly had been carried
to some other city and had been put IN
a warehouse and kept there until its
location was traced by the railroad
company.
