“Dick” Fidler Undergoes Operation

Relatives of Dr. Dick Fidler, now practicing medicine In Milwaukee,Wls., have been notified by him that he has been compelled to submit to a surgical operation In the hope of relieving him of an abcess that had formed behind one of his ears. The operation was to have been performed Friday, and be stated In a letter to his relatives that It was not serious, altho' It would probably require that the skull be trepanned, as the abscess was beneath the skull. It first started with a severe earache and has been the cause of great suffering for him.
