HELD ON TO THE MEDICINES.
How Col. Kennan Looked Out for the
9Th Ohio Infantry.

Col. c. l.. Kennan, commanding the 5th
Ohio Volunteer Infantry, whose regiment
is now at Fernandina, was caller at the
White House today. In conversation with
a Star reporter he gave an interesting ac-
count of the condition of the troops in the
south.
There is an immense amount Of sickness
among the men and limited medical sup
plies he said. For six weeks my regi-
nent would have been without the SIM
plest medical supplies II 1 had not held on
to those the state of Ohio furnished. When
the regimental hospitals were abolished
refused to give up my medicines That
saved the life of many an Ohio boy, for
the condition of the less fortunate men in
this respect was terrible.
"Our boys were in the division hospital,
but we furnished them medicine from our
own stores and detailed men TO nurse them.
We had seyentyfye volunteers from our
regiment on duty with the sick all the
time. A foraging party of thirty men
and eggs fer the fever patients, and the
surplus milk was distributed among the
other sick. This is all that saved us from
a high death rate.
stricken men of the 157th Indiana were
loaded on a sleeper to go home. They
were in charge of three well men, who
knew nothing at all about nursing or treat-
ing them. One man died In the night and
enother must have died the next Gay.
1T was simply murder to send those men
away In that condition. A noble Georgia
LADY on the train, Mrs. w. w. Gordon Of
Savannah, wife of Gen Gordon of the Ith
Army Corps, was touched by the pitiable
condition of the men, and worked with
them all night. She had the dead boy 5
body put off at Savannah. where an un-
dertaker met it, and she also took the
brother of the deceased to her own home
in Savannah. She bathed and handled
those sick men without any thought for
herself, saying she had been through five
epidemicS."

tending outward. The brain had been
crushed In and a clot formed from the
