the opening of the Civil War, found him at the front as Surgeon and Major of the Twentieth Regiment Indiana Volunteers, in which position he remained throughout the war, participating in every battle of the Army of the Potomac with the excep tion of Bull Run and Antietam. After one of the battles during this period it became necessary for him to remain for fiftytwo hours at the operating table without rest. After the war he devoted his attention to psychiatry and diseases of the nervous system, and in 1868 was appointed Superintendent of the Indiana Hospital for the Insane, which position he filled for eleven years. He also occupied the Chair of Nervous and Mental Diseases in the Medical College of Indiana at one time. He was widely known as an alienist, and his services were frequently sought in consulting practice and in medico-legal cases, notably by the United States Government in the trial of the assassin of Garfield. Since 1880 he has been Medical Superintendent of the Cincinnati Sanitarium, which institution has under his administration assumed a leading position amongst the private hospitals of the country. Dr. Everts was a frequent and welcome contributor to the medical press. Amongst his more important contributions to general literature are: "Giles & Co., or Views and Interviews Concerning Civilization," a novel illustrating some phases of heredity; The Cliffords," a philosophical allegory, introducing impersonations of religion and science; "Facts and Fancies," in blank verse (a modern American epic). He was a member of the Loyal Legion, the Masonic order and the principal national medical societies, as well as of the Academy of Medicine of Cincinnati and the Ohio State Medical Association. One of the last acts of his professional life was to prepare a paper for the section on Nervous and Mental Diseases for the American Medical Association at its New Orleans meeting, in May, 1903. A giant in intellect as well as in stature, he attained distinction as physician, soldier, jurist, statesman, litterateur, poet and philosopher, and retained his finely organized and cultivated mentality almost to the closing hours of his life. In full consciousness that the end was near, he viewed the approach of the "grim reaper" in the same philosophical spirit in which he had lived, without regret for the past or fear for the future, manifesting to the last his usual thoughtfulness in the welfare of others and his kindly appreciation of the warm remembrances of numerous friends, whom he was unable to see in person. The end was peaceful and painless from respiratory failure, preceded for some weeks by inability to assimilate sufficient nourishment to sustain the vital functions. Under the auspices of the Loyal Legion, brief services were held by the Rev. John C. Ely, at College Hill, on Sunday, June 21; and enfolded in the flag under which he fought, his remains were laid to rest in Crown Hill Cemetery, Indianapolis, on June 22, 1903. A widow, a scn, Dr. C. C. Everts, of Indianapolis, and two daughters, Mrs. W. O. Robb, of New York, and Mrs. J. K. Brice, of Lima, Ohio, survive him. Two sons are deceased. A. L. CARRICK, M.D. L. The old guard is passing. The ink was scarcely dry from a writing of the death notice of Dr. O. Everts than there comes a demand for one pertaining to Dr. A. L. Carrick, also of this city. Dr. Carrick died June 22, 1903. He had been in poor health for some months, largely due to the infirmities of age, being in his seventyninth year. Dr. Carrick was highly esteemed by all who knew him, and in his professional relations was the soul of honor. He held the office of Coroner of Hamilton County for a period of six years, and was a member of the Cincinnati Academy of Medicine. Dr. Carrick was born in Dublin, Ireland, and educated for the medical profession. For a brief period he served in the British army, then as physician on passenger steamer plying the Atlantic. In 1852 he came to Cincinnati and identified himself with the fortunes of the Queen City. At the breaking out of the Civil War he sought service in the United States army, and was appointed as Surgeon of the Second Tennessee Cavalry, serving until the close of the war, when he resumed practice in this city. His surviving children are Mrs. S. L. Aletris Cordial is indicated as a prophylactic remedy the adnexa, and in those cases in which there is a disposition to hemorrhages.

It should be heated to 70°F, and administered prior to, during, and subsequent to operation. The quantity should be suited to the individual case, varying from two to six ounces of each. Bovinine improves the heart action and circulation at once; its sustaining effect is continuous for two to three hours. The blood which has become non-aerated through ether administration is oxygenated by the introduction of a fresh supply, and is rapidly restored to normal condition. To this fact is due the power of BOVININE to prevent the thirst, nausea, and emesis, which usually follow anesthesia. Its wonderfully nourishing, supporting, and healing properties render it a necessary adjunct to the operating room. Reports of numerous cases are cited in our scientific treatise on Hæmatherapy.
