GENERAL GRANT.
Il tho Old Hero Dying Because OF Msdi-
cal Intolerance.

Il tho Old Hero Dying BooAuso OF Meoi-
cal Intolerance.
Tho american Hon,0opathist has an
article ON the treatment of General
Grant by the Allopaths, in which it
says:
..Gen. Washington was murdered BY
his medical attendants;buta at least they
were heroically, too heroically,
endeavoring to extinguish
the disease. Their brutality
was of the active sort, and in purpose
commendable. though disastrous in re-
suit. General Garfield was maltreated
for months under an error Of diagnosis,
and at last escaped beyond 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 profession: but
General Grant seems reserved rs
shining example of cold-b;ooJed ex-
pectancy. To him the Et;le gropp Of
emlpeuce have nothing 10 oner but
diagnosis. For him they propose no
relief but in the grave. Ignoring the
only soIrce OF therapeutic salvation,
they gather round his bedside TO oo-
serve 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 de-
cision are qnacks and cranks; bus who
ought not to be proud OF such a desig-
nation from such a sourceP Scholarly,
refined, cultured. earnest gentlemen
rs they are, Of what avail are all these
good qualities IN the presence of such
therapeutic bankruptcy? On the con-
contrary, while so-called scientific medi-
cine is to the fore, we'll may the daiiy
papers announce in startling headlines,
"A bad day for General Grant-Seven
doctors in consultation
Yes, the hero Of Appomattox is dy-
ing!
He who knew no fear in war. knows
no fear in sufferipg. His quiet forti-
tude wins universal admiration.
President Lincoln, in visiting hos
pital during the late war. noticed r
poor Confederate boy, mortally wound
ed. With his native tenderness he put
his arms around his neck in sympathy.
The sight melted tho hospital to tears.
The heart Of the American people in
like manner bleeds for Grant, the silent
sufferer. 1t would have him get well by
any effective means.
His physicians say he can rot re-
cover. They ill him with anodypes but
despite their favorable bulletins he is
daily growing worse.
A specialist " no has won reputation
in the treatment OF cancer visits bis bed
side. The opposition he encounters
from the attending physicians brings
painfully to mind the story Of the dog
in the manger.
And General Grant. perhaps. must
die because OF this intolerance! Is ii
possible that there is no Dope of cure
outside OF the medical profcssion'
Preposterous!
For years medical men insisted that
certain fevers were ipcurabie, hut Chin
coma proved the contrary. For centu-
ries they have protested that certain
renal disorders were :pcuraLle and yet
a special preparation bas cured and
permanently cured the very worst
cases.
Why may it not be possible in like
manner to cure q case OF capcer2 B. +.
Larrabee, OF Boston, was doomed to
death by many eminent Boston physi-
clans. J. b. Heuion, NJ. d., Of Roches.

doctors of all schools. Elder J. S.

What has been done may be done
again.
General Apson Stager died Of
Bright's disease in Chicago last week.

may be called blood poisoning, paraly-

pneumonia, or some other common all

conceal the fact from their patients, re-
alizing their inability to euro by any
