A. P. ROOPE, M. D.

   This is an age of specialization. The tendency is in that direction in all
lines of business activity, but especially so in professional circles where
knowledge has broadened and become so comprehensive that it is almost impossible
for one man to be well versed in every department of any of the sciences. Dr. A.
P. Roope, as a representative of the medical fraternity, is giving his attention
more especialy to the treatment of diseases of the eye, ear and nose.

   The Doctor was born in Shelby county, Indiana, on the 3d of May, 1869, and
became a student in the Columbus high school, in which he was graduated in the
class of 1888, after which he began the study of medicine in the Louisville
Medical College, Kentucky, from which he was graduated in 1894. In preparing
himself for the treatment of diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat he
studied in the Chicago Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat College, completing a regular
course there in 1897. He then became a student in the New York Eye and Ear
Infirmary in 1899 and, going abroad in order to still further perfect himself
along the line of his specialty, he attended private clinics of Jansen and
Overberg in Berlin, Germany. He spent a portion of 1901 and 1902 in the
University of Vienna, Austria, and he has pursued his study of the diseases of
the eye under the noted specialist Dr. Fuchs and of the ear under Dr. Politzer,
receiving a special certificate from the latter. This work he completed in
1901-2 and in the latter year he located in Columbus, where he is now engaged in
practice.
