Henry G. Hough was a physician who lived at 82 Square Street, off of Allens Avenue, in Providence circa 1872. By 1874 he had moved to the corner of Division and Hammond Streets, and in 1880 moved in residence with Henry J. Hough (probably a son) at 851 High Street.

In 1882 he became partners with Henry J. who was a druggist at 1029 High Street. Henry G. put out his own Dr. Hough's Cough & Lung Balsam and an Anti Scrofula medicine. Scrofula is a tubercular condition of the lymphatic glands and was also called 'the king's evil' at the time.

Dr. Hough passed away in 1885.
