PURE ETHER FOR ANAESTHESIA. 



Notwithstanding the introduction of several new agencies, ether 

 continues to be the favorite anaesthetic with most surgeons and 

 hospitals, at least in this country, and it is said to be gradually 

 growing in favor in England and elsewhere abroad. 



One of the makes attracting unusual prominence at present is that 

 of the 'P-W-R" brand, which is of U. S. P. standard and especially 

 prepared to meet the most exacting requirements of surgical practice. 



This brand is the product of the well known manufacturing 

 chemists, Powers-Weightman-Rosengarten Company, Philadelphia, 

 New York and Saint Louis. The house invites correspondence on the 

 subject with surgeons, anaesthesists and hospitals. The "P-W-R" 

 ether is procurable from all first class druggists. 



CHARLES GRUBE. 



Charles Grube class of 1895 and an "Honor Man," died May 13th, 

 1910. In May 1909 he was taken ill with Typhoid Fever, (shortly after 

 dispossing of his store at 104th Street and Columbus Avenue). He 

 recovered from Typhoid but the fever left him with complications from 

 which he could not recover. As a last resort he underwent an opera- 

 tion last December. He rallied from this and for a time seemed to 

 improve, so much so that in April last he was able to go to the country. 

 Up to this time there were hopes for his final recovery. But his long 

 sickness had sapped too much of his vitality so after being sick just 

 about one year and making a brave fight he finally had to succumb. 

 He was buried at Woodlawn.
