Prof. Charles Gatchell, M. D.
DR.. II. p. Gatchel was a physician
in Cincinnati and has good record
+, there as such. He had a large family,
and in 1865 went to Kenosha and es-
tablished sanitarium for the aii and
cure of suffering humanity, and was
successful in his undertaking. AS |
stated, he had large family, part of
which consisted of five sons, about one
Of whom I am writing just now. The
son Charles was born in 1850 and was
fifteen years old when he went with the
family to Kenosha, where he grew up
to young and intellectually vigorous
manhood under the tutelage of his
father and the high school there. 1t is
true that much of the life, muscle and
brain, the refinement and energy which
lead and control the real forces of So
ciety are primarily developed under the
more quiet conditions of country life
in such places as Kenosha. In 1869
Charles left the high school and trav-
eled two years to recuperate his broken
health. Then to the Cincinnati public
medical college where he graduated in
1874 and came to Chicago to practice
his profession, for which his subsequent
history evidences he was we'll equipped.
He soon became a successful practi-
toner; in 1877 his name and fame be-
coming known, he was called to the
professorship of the theory and practice
of medicine in the Michigan university.
He continued there until 1880, when he
resigned and spent year in Europe
and the old countries. He had trained
and educated mind audience improved
by intelligent observation and study
and came back with renewed informa-
ton and added mental vigor to con-
tinue the practice of his profession in
Chicago. He is one of the few ply
sicians who study, work, observe close
ly, use common sense and become their
own critics. He has attained to high
rank in the medical fraternity in Chi
cago. In 1869 the same chair which he
had occupied in Michigan university
vacant and he received another call
which he accepted, and again resigned
in 1893 and returned to Chicago, where
he has been doing a large and lucrative
practice since.
He has held high positions in local,
state and general medical associations
of the Homeopathic school. He was
chairman of the Section of Clinical
Medicine of the Worlds Fair Congress
of Homeopathic Physicians and Sur
geons; for ten years editor of the Medi-
cal Era, and is now one of the editorial
staff of the North american Journal or
HOmeOp0thy, and author of several
published medical works which have
attracted the attention and met the
appreciation of the medical profession,
such as Key Notes of Medical Prac
| tice, = :: Medical Dictionary, Diet in
Diseases" Medical Matters" and
many magazine articles. He is not on
ly man of literary accomplishments as
to his profession, but philosopher in
many other ways. He exposed the
great frauds, Bishop and Johnston, who
posed as mind readers; this was with
ering and sarcastic expose which 81
fenced lesser pretenders for years after
wards. He sometimes wanders into the
fowery paths of fiction and literature.
He is the author of anovel," Haschisch"
which has decided merit, but bears the
nom Gle plume of Thorald King, he
making the same mistake many authors
make, of not attaching their name to
good thing, and know when they have
cot it. He is member of several as
sociations-the American Institute of
Homeopathy; ex-president and still
member of the Illinois Homeopathic
Medical association and other kindred
societies. He is and has been attend
ing physician and clinical lecturer to
Cook county hospital. His mother is
living, at ripe. but hale and hearty
old age, with one of her sons at Hud-
son. Wis. The family are all living eX-
