GENERAL GRANT.
Is the old Hero Dying Because Of Medi-
 cal Iu;Olerance?

cal IatOlerances
 The American Homeopathic has al
 article on the treatment of Genera
 Grant, in which it says:
 General Washington was murdered
 by his medical attendants; but at least they were heroically-too heroically en ieavoring to extinguish the disease Their brutality was of the active sort and in purpose commendable, though disastrous in result. General Garfield
 was maltreated for months under an CT. TOT of diagnosis, and at last escaped be- yond the reach of his eminent torturers. Here, also, there was much medical herolsm and activity displayed, albeit misdirected. Other illustrIOus patients have suffered from eminence in the pro- fession; but General Grant seems re- served as shining example of the cold blooded expectancy. To him the little group of eminence have nothing to offer but diagnosis. For him they propose no relief but in the grave. Ignoring the only source of therapeutic salvation they gather round his bedside to observe his unaided struggle. The fiat has gone forth that nothing can be done; and nothing will be permitted to be done. Those who question such decision are quGcks and eranks; but who ought not to be proud of such designation from such 6 source? Scholarly, refined, cul- tured, earnest gentlemen as they are, of what avail are all of these good qualities in the presence of such therapeutic bank ruptcy! On the contrary, while so- called scientific medicine IS to the fore, well may the daily papers announce in startling headlines, "A Bad Day for Gen. eral Grant-Sever Doctors in Oonsults- ton"
 Yes, the hero of Appomattox is dying!
 He who knows 10 fear in war, knows no fear in suffering. His quiet tortltude wins universal admiration.
 President Lincoln, in visiting a hos pital during the late war, noticed poor Confederate boy, mortally wounded. With native tenderness he put his arms around his neck in sympathy. The sight melted the hospital to tears.
 The heart of the American people in like manner bleeds for Grant, the si- lent sufferer. It would have him we'll again by any effective means.
 His physicians say he cannot recover. they fill him with anodynss. but despite their favorable bulletins he is daily growing worse.
 A specialist who has won reputation in the treatment of cancer visits his bed side. The opposition he encounters from the attending physician brings painfully to mind the story of the dog in the manager.
 And General Grant perhaps may dIe because of this intolerance! Is 1t possi- ble that there IS no hope of cure outside of the medical profession.
 Preposterous!
 For years medical men insisted that certain feyefs were IEcurabie, but ChIn- coma proved the contrary. For centu- ries they have protested that certain renal disorders were ILcurable, and yet special preparation has cured and per manently cured tho very worst cases.
 Why may It not be possible il like manner to cure case of cancer? 5. r. Larabee was doomed to death by many eminent Boston physicians. J. E. Hen ion, M. D., of Rochester, N. Y., was given up by the best doctors of all schools. Elder J. s. Prescott, of Cleve- land, Ohio, was gravely informed by them that be could not live, and yet these men and thousands like them have been cured and cured permanently of serious kidney disorders by remedy not officially known to the code.
 What has been done can be done again.
 General AnsOn Stager died of Bright's disease in Chicago last week. Joe. Goss, the Boston pugllist, died of 1t. nF kh.,rraan1a ,N v,aAv1a v,arsuh of 1t every year while in their doctors hands. The cause of death may be called blood poisoning, paralysis, heart convulsions, apoplexy, pneumo- nia, or some other common ailmont, but the real difficulty is in the kidneys. Phy- sicians know 1t, but they conceal the fact from their patients, realizing their to cure by an authorized" means. The remedy that cured Lara bee and Henion and Prescott Ii. @, War ner's safe cure) is U special independents discovery. Its record entities it to rec ognition, and it gets it from intelligent people. Its manufacturers have an un- sullied reputation and are entitled to as great consideration as any school of 
 Professor R. A. Gum, M. D., Dean of tue Oulltu Othlco AuCu4ChA NOlACkC OA New York City, rises above professional prejudice, and on it's personally proved merits alone gives 1t several pages of the warmest commendstion in his published only instance on record of high professional endorsement of such 
 The appropriated people do not want General Grant to die. If there IS in all nature or anywhere in the world rem edy or a man able to cure his cancer, give them a chance.
 Will they do 1t!
 No.
 Why?
 Is it not too often the case that many excellent physicians who are greatly de- voted to the code would prefer that their patierts should die rather than that they should recover health by the use of any remedy not recognized under their code?
