We have recently received copy of Gail
lard's Medical Journal of New York, contain
ing an interesting history of the case of Coy
ernor Hendricks, or rather the serious surgi-
cal condition which threatened his life two
years previous to his demise, and which at the
time was of such deep and widely pervadiug
interest to the country. 1t is the contribution
of DIR. John E. Lockridge, formerly of this
county, now resident of Indianapolis, who
was the attending physician of Governor Hen
bricks during the last six or seven years, and
whose theory of the real condition and line of
treatment was justified by the progressive and
permanent recovery of the distinguished sui
ferer, he dying eventually OF a different atfec
ton. 1t is still fresh in the public mind that
the Governors disease was stated at the time
to be senile gangrene. which is uniformly IA
tall but this view was opposed by DR.. L., and
the result verified his correctness. Gov. Hen
bricks recovered entirely, and survived to die
as Vice-President nearly three years later, his
fatal illness being of so sudden and unexpect-
ed a character, that no medical attention was
summoned.

The usual treatment of catarrh Is very un-
satisfactory asthousands of despairing patients
can testify. On this point a Trustworthy medi-
cal writer says: Proper local treatment is posi-
lively necessary to success. but many, II not
most of the remedies in general use by physi-
clans afford but temporary benefit. A cure
certainly cannot be expected from spuffs pow
ders, douches and washes" Ely's Cream Balm
is a remedy which combines the important re.
qusites OF quick action, specific curative pow
er with perfect and pleasantness to the patient.
