" ' ' "On July 1, 1953, Dr. Paul Rutrer purchased the hospital and im mediately raised it, to full hospital status by increasing its capacity to 17' beds.' Included in the improvement was a large, modern X-ray machine, complete laboratory and a commercial laundry. Dr. Rutter.and staff have now found that they have outgrown the present facility and daily' feel the need of a larger building with com plete and modern facilities and greater bed capacity. With the growth of Osteopathy, nationally and in Southern Oregon, Dr. Rutter and his associates. believe the time is now right for the development of the new arid spacious Crater Osteopathic Hospital.

This School of Medicine, or the art and science of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease and injury, majors in manipulation and includes drugs, obste trics, surgery and other branches of the healing arts. .
