From the Collection: The collection consists of papers of Henry L. Bockus from ca. 1953-1981, including correspondence, subject files, photographs, certificates, plaques, medals, books, and citations. The Office Papers, series III are arranged in their original order. They focus on gastroenterological topics and correspondence with physicians and organizations in other countries; Bockus International correspondence was primarily with physicians in Central and South America and the Caribbean. Of particular interest is information on a civil action between Eli Lilly and Company, the FDA, and HEW regarding the drug Acidulin. The certificates, plaques, medals, and citations were awarded to Bockus in recognition of his work and activities in the United States, South America, and Central America.
