MILTON T. BECHTEL

The farmers and others having the care of cattle and horses in this section are fortunate in being so near a practical and experienced veterinary surgeon when his services are urgently required. Mr. Bechtel is a graduate of the Ontario Veterinary College, from which he graduated with honors in March, 1889. He is also an honorary member of the Ontario Veterinary Medical Society. Being an unusually observings student of the diseases to which the brute creation is subject he is generally fitted to prescribe the proper remedies. He has acquired a wide practice since he opened his office here about three years ago, and has had more than average success in dealing with obstinate cases. He has made dehorning a specialty and has already proved himself an expert in that line.

Mr. Bechtel was born at Blair in 1865, and outside of that which he acquired in college studying for his profession, received most of his education in Waterloo. He is a son of the late Isaac Bechtel, who for many years was a prominent citizen of Blair and latterly of Waterloo. The subject of this sketch was recently married.
