sons were treated for minor injuries.
This of course does not Include the
regular patients who are treated at
regular hours. DR.. Kelchner is known
as the first aid to the injured doctor. T."
He is always prepared for a quick call
and many persons owe their lives to
the fact that he is never too busy to
aid some unfortunate.

he was struck and knocked down by
the Wayne hotels auto driven by

teamster employed by the Union
Transfer Co., saw the accident and
rushed to the boys assistance. He
placed him in his wagon and rushed
him TO the hospital where, after exam
nation, 1t was found that he had sus-
tanned a di~slocation of the ankle and
bruises of the left side. DR.. Tullidge,
the boys father who was in Philadel-
phia at the time, called DR.. Kelchner
on the long distance phone and re-
quested that he take personal charge
of his son.

for sunburn that is unbeatable.
