tion with til. general, whom, he said. he

GRANTS DISEASE
Boston, April 20. DIR. George Il. Elliott,
the New York specialist, who made mic
roscopic examination of the tissues taken
from General Grants throat, the result OF
which was published in the Medical Record
giving the s,nbiic the first intimatinn that
the geuearai's disease was of caucerous
nature, said in reply to questions, that the
,nicros :oIical tiudines were characteristic of
epil"ma, or epthelial cancer, which is the
least malignant of all forms of cancer. 1t is
localized disease, and does not tend to af-
feet the internal organs. a2ancer of this
kind on the face oftentimes remains fifteen
Years without producing any serious trouble
In General Grants case, the trouble being
located i'll the throat, it becomes much more
serious, but still the disease is of the same
superficial character. DIR. Elliott said that
the low state in which the general was two
weeks ago was due to the debilitated state
of his ph, sical condition. He further ex-
pressed an oppinion that he has not been at
any time in any immediate danger of death.
His life, DR.. Elliott thinks, will be proiong
sd for considerable period.
