GEORGE GROSS, M.D. 

George Gross, M. D., whose office is at No. 326 Kearny street, San Francisco, has been a resident of California since 1875, and has practiced medicine in this city during that time. He was born in Alsace, France, in 1849, and received his early education in the public schools of Strasburg, graduating at the Lycee Strasburg, in 1868. He then commenced the study of medicine in the medical department of the University of Strasburg, graduating at that institution in 1872, under a special diploma furnished by the professors of the French school, and acknowledged by the German government. The Franco-Prussian war having broke out during his course of study at that university, he volunteered as a soldier in the French army, and was a member of the First Legion of March of Alsace, Lorraine, in which he remained until the close of the war. Previous to this he had served in the early part of the war as a medical assistant under the International Society of the Red Cross of Genoa, in the care of the wounded. After graduation at Strasburg, Mr. Gross went to Paris, where he pursued his studies in the hospitals of that city. He then came to California, locating in San Francisco, where he has since been engaged in private practice. He has been connected with the French Mutual Benevolent Society as visiting physician to members at their residences.
