Dr. F. L. Sharrer to Move From Francesville Soon.

Francesville, Ind, Dr, F. L. Sharrer, physician and surgeon of this place, will leave Oct. Ist, for Guthrie, Okla., where he Iras beeivwipointed chief surgeon tor the, Guthrie City Hospital to succeed Dr. W. C. West, who is being unavoidably detained in Europe on account of the war. The hospital is non-sectarian and co-opera-tive, and is patronized extensively by the physicians and surgeons of Oklahoma and Arkansas. The position is one of great responsibility and Or. Sharrer was chosen after a long list of applicants was considered. Dr. Sharrer graduated from the medical department df Illinois, university eight years ago. Immediately after leaving college he spent a year in Toledo as interne of the city hospital, then came here, since which time he has developed to be one of the most successful surgeons in northern Indiana. He is a young man possessed of natural suTgicil ability, has been especially successful in major surgery, ’and his training, combined with his several years’ practical experience as both physician and surgeon, has made him well qualified for the important duties of chief surgeon he is about to assume. Dr. Sharrer had been urged a number of times to open a hospital here, owing to sentiment created by his eminent success in many difficult and delicate surgical cases handled by him in this part of the state, and he had seriously considered the thought of such an undertaking,, but finally concluded that the possibilities for patronage were too limited to warrant the project. His new duties will give him ample opportunity to specialize in surgery, which has always held his deepest interest. He is very popular among the members of the medical profession and a genial gentleman.
