necessary medicines and instruments to begin practice in a western town. From Philadelphia he drove to Cumberland, Md .; from the latter place he started west over the old National road. He remained over in Indianapolis one or two nights and was asked to locate there permanently, but the place did not appeal

to him. At Putnamville, forty-two miles west of Indianapolis, his horse became lame and he was ob- liged to stop here until his horse recovered. Here he met his future wife, Miss Mary H. Davis Townsend, the daughter of the inn-keeper. This settled the ques- tion of his future location. He practiced medicine here from 1831 to 1887, not only in and around Put- namville, but also in the adjoining counties, namely, Owen, Clay, Vigo, Parke, Montgomery, Hendricks, Mor- gan and Marion. He was a man of iron constitution. During the winter season he often made use of three riding horses. Some of his trips on horse-back were quite extended. At one time he was known to ride

from Putnamville to Indianapolis and return in one day, where he went for vaccines and vaccine virus, and then after he returned home rode sixteen miles in the country to visit a sick patient. His son, Mr. James T. Layman, recalls that his father often left Putnam- ville at 2 a. m. on horseback for Indianapolis, and re- turned by 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
Dr. Layman was a typical old fashioned country practitioner in every sense of the word. He was highly esteemed by the people in the community who not only called him for medical advice, but also for advice in matters other than medical. He took an active part in the affairs of the community and also was active in politics, but never allowed himself to be nominated for a political position. In fact, he once declined a nomination for Congress. He never used alcoholic beverages nor tobacco in any form. His attitude towards temperance no doubt had a great weight in influencing the community along this line. He died at Putnamville, Aug. 10, 1887 .- Letter from Dr. Daniel W. Layman, Grandson, Indianapolis. Most of Dr. Layman's descendants live in Indianapolis. Mr. James T. Layman, the only son who is living, is pres- ident of the Layman-Carey Hdw. Co. of Indianapolis. Three of Dr. Layman's descendants are now practicing physicians in Indianapolis. They include two grand- sons, Dr. Francis O. Dorsey and Dr. Daniel W. Lay- man, and one great-grandson, Dr. John L. Kingsbury. -G. W. H. K.

MEDICAL HISTORY OF INDIANA.
At the present day, when the term "perityphlitis" has given way to "appendicitis," it is interesting to turn back one-third of a century and read the paper of Dr. Lomax on perityphlitis. Briefly, the report is as. follows: In September, 1874, he was called to see a young man suffering from a pain in the "right iliac fossa." He died in great pain a few days later. Dec. 30, 1875, he was called to the same home to attend a brother of the deceased, who was suffering in a similar manner, and this brother died on the fourteenth day. A post-mortem examination of the latter revealed "an abscess beneath the cecum, walled in by adhesions." How familiar the term, walled in by adhesions sounds a third of a century after Dr. Lomax penned it! He says further: "There was not the least trace of appendix vermiformis to be found, nor opening in the intestine through which this substance could have forced its way." His paper is interesting as showing the natural history of a case of appendicitis.
For a time he held the chair of surgery in the Fort Wayne Medical College. He held the position of presi- dent of the board of trustees of the Medical College of Indiana for several years, and a short time before his death made a gift in property to that college that was valued at more than fifty thousand dollars.
Dr. Lomax lived and died a true type of a noble physician and a Christian gentleman. Stone, 284. Also I. M. J., Vol. xi, 373, with portrait, and Jour. Am. Med. Assoc., Vol. xx, 614. R. M. of Ind., Dist. 11, p. 26.

About the first of the year, 1848, he located in New Albany, Indiana, and taught chemis- try and natural history in Hanover College, Indiana, from April 1848 to April 1849.
He was professor of chemistry for a time in Cin- cinnati College of Medicine and Surgery. Also taught in Pittsburg, Pa., and Oxford, Ohio, as well as in New Albany.

MEDICAL HISTORY OF INDIANA.
He was the first white man to practice the healing art in Johnson County.
He attended a boarding school in Edinburg for several years, and obtained a good education. Some- times he had to work in order to pay his board, and . in consequence of this necessity he learned the coop- er's trade. He was also an athlete and became a proficient boxer. He came to America when 18 years of age, and traveled from place to place, and when in need replenished his purse by teaching school. In 1822 he came to Henry County, Kentucky. Here he fell in love with a Miss Banta, and they were mar- ried in 1824. After his marriage he displayed his adaptability to his surroundings by working for two years in his father-in-law's distillery.
In October, 1826, he and his family came to John- son County, Indiana, and moved into a little unfin- ished cabin about five miles west of the village of Franklin-then a place of five or six log houses. In this whole region there was no minister of the healing art and McCauley quickly saw the needs of the com- munity where people were stricken and dying with malaria, so he immediately assumed the task of car- ing for their physical needs, and soon gained their confidence by self-assurance, native ability and the statement that he was a graduate of the University of Edinburg. The popular belief in the truthfulness of this assertion gave him much prestige, and many were the cabin hearth stories of his seven years of study in "the old country." As he left Scotland in 1811, when 18 years of age, those interested in abso- lute historical truth can readily see that he very likely never saw the inside of the University of Edin- burg, at least not in the serious capacity of a medical student.
But in the swamps of Johnson County the people were stricken and dying, and calling for help. "Dr." McCauley boldly rode to their relief and was hailed with joy. He was needed so quickly after taking up his abode in the wilderness, that he had no time to make a door to his lonely cabin. In lieu of a wooden

door a blanket was stretched over the lintels of his doorway; the winds of winter beat against it, and the wolves sniffed at its flimsy folds, while within, his wife and babies trembled with fear.
. Soon he rode miles in every direction. He passed through Franklin, crossed Sugar Creek, and prac- ticed in Shelby County, through Edinburg into Bar- tholomew County, along Indian Creek, and among the bold hills and wild forests of Brown County, and far westward to White River. He sometimes made trips which consumed in time two or three days. He charged very little and collected less. His neighbors for a mile or two around always paid their bills in work.
He died Aug. 14, 1842, and at the time of his death he owned nearly five hundred acres of fertile land, but very little of his wealth had been made by the prac- tice of medicine .- Dr. R. W. Terhune, Whiteland.
MCCLELLAND, JAMES S .- Crawfordsville (1821- 1875). He was born at Oxford, O., Sept. 3, 1821, and died at Crawfordsville, Aug. 29, 1875. He practiced medicine at the following named places in Indiana: Yountsville, Pleasant Hill, Jefferson, and Frankfort. Later he removed to Dallas, Illinois. In 1861, he enlisted in the Twenty-fifth Regiment, Illinois Volun- teers, and was made Lieutenant-Colonel. Soon after- ward was appointed medical director on the staff of Gen. Sigel, in Missouri. Later he was transferred to the Department of Tennessee, and made inspector of field hospitals. He received an injury in August, 1863, on account of which he was mustered out of service. He then located in Crawfordsville. In a short time, his health having improved, he again entered the ser- vice as surgeon of the One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Regiment, Indiana Volunteers. After the close of the war he resumed the practice of medicine and continued until his death. He represented Clinton County in the Legislature; and in 1856 was a Buchanan elector. -Dr. J. L. Beatty, Crawfordsville.

He was of an amica- ble disposition, never coarse nor cross, remarkably free from fretting and stewing, polite in his deportment, never glorying in sin or shame. He carried his ,refine- ment of manhood with him in his professional visits and was a favorite among the people. When I'say that Dr. Mitchel was a justly esteemed and valuable citizen, I only utter what many lips are ready to repeat. When I say that he was a success in his profession his numer- ous patrons are ready to emphasize the testimony. The members of the profession are ready to bear testimony to his honorable observance of the rules of etiquette belonging to the profession.
He was always loyal to the cause of medicine in all that tended to its uplifting in society work and all that pertained to it .- Dr. Walter J. Mitchel, Vernon, a son.
