JOHN MEALS FARREL, M. D.

  J. M. Farrel was born in 1882 at New Philadelphia, Ohio, and was graduated M. 
D. in 1906 from Bennett Medical School, Chicago, Ill.  This was an Eclectic 
Medical School and is now extinct.

Dr. Farrel was licensed in Pennsylvania in 1906 and has practiced since then at 
various places in Pennsylvania.  He is an advertising quack and is not in good 
standing in the medical profession.

  He located in Chambersburg in September, 1925.  August 17, 1926, his license 
to practice medicine in Pennsylvania was revoked by the State Board of Medical 
Licensure, because of his excessive use of alcoholic stimulants.  Dr. Farrel 
immediately left the county.  His name is here given for historical accuracy 
only.
