and take his treatment"
"Who is her"
"Dr. Gatchell of No. 174 Euclid Ave.
Cures hay fever, as well as catarrh and
coughs, does he9 Well, that's something
people will be interested to know"
A reporter chanced to catch the above
conversation and accepted 1t as clue to
something unusual and entertaining. He
determined TO learn more OF the skillful
specialist who had added 10 his long list
OF remarkable cures in throat and lung
diseases an efficient method OF treating q
malady with which Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher and other distinguished men
wrestled for years unsuccessfnlly. He ac-
cordingly called at DR.. Gatchell's office
and finding the "latch string out" entered
the commodious apartments
DIR. Gatchelps suite OF rooms Is on the
first floor of one OF those handsome brick
blocks which the demands of business
have recently claimed from the list of ell
gible Euclid avenue residences, and about
which the subtlel atmosphere Of elegant
home life seems yet to linger. The Doc
tor has succeeded In perpetuating this
home-like aspect by the appointments of
his reception room. The engravings and
etchings that adorn the walls have been Sc
lected with rare taste and appreciation.
Many of them are pleasant reminders of
the years DR.. Gatchell spent abroad in
| medical study subsequent to his gradution
| as a practitioner in This country. The
distinguished Biblical authority who as
serted that there is nothing new under the
sun had evidently never been favored with
a stroll through DR.. Gatchel's apartments.
If he mad, he would have been puzzled to
know to what species Of mechanical ap-
pliances the remarkable apparatus he saw
should be referred.
1t Is certainly unique, strictly sui gene
ris, so 70 say. And yet DR.. Gatchell's treat
ment Is a growth, an evolution. IL repre-
sents years OF hard study and painstaking
experiment. II marked his passage from
general to special practice. 1t was only
after years Of devotion TO regular practice
in Chicago, Milwaukee and other places
that the initial idea of his present treat
ment of throat and lung diseases came to
him. Conscious Of its remedial value, he
soon retired from general practice and
gave all his time, experience and zeal 10
the development Of the new method. He
had to unite the arts, discover the proper
remedies,quite another to compound them

ment encouraged DIR. Gachell 10 continue
his experiments and elaborate his methods

success has been surprising, and is best
measured by the long list of those who
gratefully acknowledge their cures at his
hands,
The reporter found his chair comfort
able, and decided that an hour could be
pleasantly and pro6tably spent as the Doc
tors guest. AS the patients came for con.
sultation and treatment the visitor could
but observe that DR.. Gatche.l inspired
them with confidence In his honesty as
man as well as his skill as a physician. He
also remarked,a as they gave their addresses,
that they came very largely from the lead.

tors patients came from Akron, Paines.

Northern Ohio.
The limits Of DR.. Gatchell's field, how
ever, are not within the Western Reserve,
nor even In the Stale Of Ohio. He sends
his home treatment, very ingenious and
effective method Of applying his remedies,
as far west as San Francisco, as far east as
New England, and as far south as Florida.
Many OF his patients he never sees, but
prescribes by letter, and sends his appa-
ratus 10 the patients DOORS The results
obtained by the home treatment are ex-
pressed In hundreds Of congratulalory and
grateful epistles.
One reason why DIR. Gatchell has sue.
ceeded In drawing about him such sub
stantial class Of patients is that II Is known
that he is not, like many specialists, "here
to-day and there tomorrow" as the saying
goes, but is permanently established as a
citizen OF Cleveland. In fact, he Is q ma
tive Of this county, and his experience In
other fields has been but preparation for
his career In Cleveland, the home OF his
childhood.
Besides his editorship of the Ohio
Health Journal, DR.. Gatchell has pub.
lished book Of some 40 pages, telling
people how 10 cure catarrh, throat and
lung diseases at home. This he sends 10
any address tree Of charge. In running
over the pages during his visit the reporter
was struck by the many strong testimoni-
ais 10 the Doctors skill. Here are some
oil them:
