Dr. John D. Ellis Given Chance in Cincinnati Hospital.

John D. Ellis, toon of James H. S. Ellis, of this city, and a graduate of Rush Medical college, in Chicago, has been recognized in a very complimentary way by the faculty of the college. He was one of four Rush Medical graduates sent to Cincinnati to com - pete with graduates from other medical colleges for two interne vacancies in the Cincinnati city hospital, which is recognized as one of the leading municipal hospitals in the United States. The Cincinnati Times-Star considered the recognition accorded the hospital by Rush Medical College a distinct compliment and after comparing the hospital with the Cook county hospital and telling how the examination was conducted, the following interview with Dr. Ellis is published: “I believe the Cincinnati city hospital, with its extension plans, offers an unequaled opportunity for study and research," said Dr. John D. Ellis, one of the bandidates, Tuesday. "Since the new contagious department has been completed and equipped, and the news of the extension plans of Cincinnati’s Department of Safety have been communicated to the medical world, grater interest has been aroused in Cincinnati’s hospital system than in Chicago’s. I, for one, preferred opportunities for medical study here as compared with that in the Cook County hospital in Chicago, long regarded as one of the world’s great hospitals. From what we have seen of the city hospital here we believe it is the superior of any similar municipal institution in the United States.”
