ALFRED EICHLER

Alfred Eichler, whose office is at No. 300 Hayes street, San Francisco, has been a resident of California since 1888, and has been engaged in the practice of medicine during these years. He was born in Bavaria, Germany, in 1863, and received his early education in the Government schools and later in the gymnasium, at which he graduated in 1879. In 1881 he entered the department of chemistry at the University of Wurtzburg, Germany, where he remained two years. He then came to the United States, locating in St. Louis, Missouri, where he again engaged in the study of medicine, under the preceptorship of Dr. E. O’Neil of that city. About the same time he entered the American Medical College of St. Louis, where he graduated in 1876, after a full course of three years, receiving the degree of Doctor of Medicine. He at once engaged in medical practice at Steelville, Illinois, where he continued for three years, when he came to California and has since been located in San Francisco in the general practice of his profession. His father, Max Eichler, is an analytical chemist, well known all over Germany. Mr. Eichler held the position of Government Inspector of Manufactories for about twelve years.
