ARTHUR C. ROLL, M. D., is one of the native sons of the Buckeye State, is a leading young medical practitioner of Toledo, who bids fair to soon acquire more than a local reputation.  He is a graduate of the Pulte Medical College of Cincinnati, where he completed the course and received his degree Mar. 12, 1889, the same spring opening an office for general family practice in this place.  He belongs to the Ohio State Homeopathy Society, and to the Northwestern Ohio Homeopathic Association.  His services are employed as medical examiner for the Equitable Life Insurance Company of Des Moines, Iowa, the Scottish Rites, Knights Templar and Master Masons' aid Association; and he is also a member of the medical staff of the Toledo Hospital.
