The Case of Lieut.. Roach, u. s. A.


BLOOMINGTON, July 1S.-Surgeon j. 8.
Gilmore, u. S. A., of Camp Sheridan, Chi
cago, is in the city looking into the case of
Lieut. Hampton M. Roach. Lieut.. Roach
is an officer of the First Infantry and was
stationed at Alcatraz island, Cal. Early
in the summer he came here to spend his
furlough time with relatives. He over
stayed his time, and last Monday Washing
ton dispatches were published saying that
he would be summoned before court
martial or treated as deserter. The Off
Ger claims that at the end of his leave of
absence he was too i'll to travel, and he OBJ
tanned a certificate from doctor and for
warded it to the proper authorities. This
was evidently not received. Surgeon Gil,
more has seen duplicate of the certificate
and states that there is no doubt that
Lieut.. Roach was too i'll to return to his
command. Ii It's, Is hkeIy that proceedings
Otfense is merely technical.

Among the diseases which often
long defy the efforts of the physician
there is scarcely one, in which a cure
is possible, more obstinate than sciat-
lea. 1t is a neuralgia, as its name i'm
plies, affecting the sciatic nerve,
which lies along the back Of the hip,
thigh and leg. 1t is not a common
trouble, contrary to the general i'm
preston consequent upon its being
COMPOUNDED with rheumatism i~nvolv-
ing the parts covered by the sciatic
nerve. The obstinate character of
sciatica should be generally under
stood, otherwise in many Instances
physicians undertaking to treat it may
be u~njustly blamed. There are many
influences capable of exciting it; the
most common one is probably catch
ing cold, the lower part of the body
particularly being exposed. Lifting
and straining are among its causes so
also are constipation, hemorrhoids, &C
equations requiring persistent sitting
posture, local injuries, etc. The RENE
dial measures for sciatica include quito
a number of internal mendicants, in
~jections of various narcotic agents,
also electricity, blistering, local freez.
ing Of the skin by sprays, nerve
stretching, etc. Very rarely indeed n
case yields readily to treatment, but in
many instances one measure after an
other is tried without success, which
is only reached after almost every
known e~xpedient has been resorted to.
a cure in every case of s~ciatica is pos
sible, and can in time be affected, but
the victims patience must often be
sorely tried.-Boston Herald.

The great charter was agreed 10 by
King John on the 18th OF june, 1915,
at Runnymede. II was, in truth, not
an act of parliament or statute, but a
treaty between the king and his sub
jects, and was framed upon a series of
f~orty-nine articles drawn up by the
barons and presented to the king.
There was consequently two separate
documents: one, Tho Articles of the
Great Charter of Liberties" and the
other, THE Great Charter" itself.
Neither were signed by either the king
or the barons. Both were sealed with
the great seal Of King John; and, as
We shall see, there is some evidence
that the great charter was sealed by
some OF the barons; but the barons do
not appear to have sealed the articles.
The original articles are in the Brit
lsh museum, and a fac-simile of them
is exhibited to the public. They are
written in Latin, on parchment ten
and three-Quarter inches broad and
twenty-one and one-half inches long,
including the fold for receiving the
label To the label the great seal of
King John is still appendant; but,
unfortunately, the whole document
has been greatly damaged. Its history
is very obscure. At an early date it
was probably deposited at Lambeth,
and it apparently remained there till
1645.
At the end of the Seventeenth cen
fury it was in the possession OF Gilbert
Burnet, bishop of Salisbury, and he
gives in the History OF His Own
Time" the following account Of the
manner in which he came by It.:
When the impeachment of Archbishop
Laud was brought to the bar of the
lords, he. apprehending how it would
end, sent over Warner, bishop of Ro-
chester, with the keys of his closet and
cabinet, that he might destroy or put
out of the way all papers that might
either hurt himself or anybody else.
He was at that work for three or four
hours, till, upon Laud's being COM
mitted to the Black Rod, a messenger
was sent over to seal up his closet, who
came after all was removed. Among
the writings took away, it is be-
lieved the original Magma Charta pass
ed by King John in the mead near
Straines vas one. This was found
among Warmers papers by his execu-
tor, and that descended to his son and
executor, Col. Lee, who gave it to me.
50 1t is now in my hands, and 1t came
very fairly to me.
For this conveyance of it we have
nothing but conjecture. AS Burnet
had been allowed to search all the
public records, Lord Dartmouth sug-
gests that the above account was in
tended to allay any suspicion that he
obtained SO valuable a document in a
less justifiable manner.-Chambers'
Journal
