DR. JOSEPH AUB. DR. Joseph Aub died of chronic heart disease at Cincinnati, Ohio, in May, i888, at the early age of forty-three. Although in bad health for several years previous to his death, he continued in active practice till February of this year, when he.went South, hoping that a milder climate would have a beneficial effect on his disease. But finding his hope not realized he returned to his home to die. Dr. Aub was born and educated in Cincinnati, and graduated from the Medical Colleg-e of Ohio in I866. After that he went abroad and continued his studies in Berlin, Vienna, and London. On his return to this country he became resident surgeon to the New York Ophthalmic and Aural Institute, and continued in this position for three years. While here he published a paper entitled " Do the eyes perform any rotation on the optic axis in lateral inclination of the head," and another under the title " Contributions to the clinical history of injuries to the eyeball and its surroundings." In I870 he was elected a member of this society. Returning to the city of his birth in I872, he soon acquired a large and lucra,tive practice. He was appointed Professor of Ophthalmology the Cincinnati Medical College, and held this position for five years. He was a member of the medical staff of the Cincinnati Hospital from I872 to the time of his death. During this period he published the following papers: Ectropion, treated by transplantation of flaps without pedicle; a Case of Cyst of the ciliary body; Two Cases of Orbital Tumors. At the meeting of this society in I884, he read a paper on the removal of foreign bodies from the vitreous by aid of the electro-magnet. Industrious, devoted to study, and possessed of more than ordinary skill, Dr. Aub soon rose to a prominent position among the ophthalmologists of the country and at the time of his death had secured a place in the front rank of his profession. He was of a modest and amiable disposition, earnest in his friendship, and beloved by all who knew him well. His early death will be deeply deplored by the medical profession and by his many friends in all parts of the country.
