GENERAL GRANT.
Is the Old Hero Dying Because OF Medical Intol
eFaDep.

|
The american homeopathic has an article on
the treatment of General Grant By the Allo-
paths, in which it says:
| General Washington was murdered by his
medical attendants; but at least they were he
r0icaly-too heroically endeavoring to extin-
gu,sh 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 error of
| diagnosis, and at last escaped beyond the reach
| OF his eminent tOrturer5.. Here, also, there
was much medical heroism and activity dis
played, albeit misdirected. Other iilustrious
| patients have suffered from eminence in the
| profession; but General Grant seems reserved
rs shining example of cold blooded expect
| ancy. To him the little group of eminence
| have nothing TO offer but = diagnosis For him
they propose no relief but in the grave. Ig-
noring the only source of therapeutic salvation
| they gather round his bedside to observe his
upaided struggle. The fiat has gone forth that
nothing can be done; and nothing will be per-
mitted to be done. Those who question such
a decision are quacks and cranks; but who
ought not to be proud of such a designation
| from such a source? Scholarly, refined, cul-
| tured earnest gentlemen as they are, of what
avail are all these good qualities in the pres
ence of such therapeutic bankruptcy On the
contrary, while so-caIled scientific medicine is
to the fore, well may the daily papers announce
in startling headlines a bad day for General
| Grant-Seven doctors in consultation"
Yes, the hero of Appomattox is dying!
| He who knew no fear in war, knows no fear
| in suffering. His quiet fortitude wins univer-
sal admiration.
President Lincoln, in visiting hospital dur
| ing the late war, noticed a poor Confederate
boy, mortally wounded. With his native ton
derness 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 silent sufferer.
1t would have him get well, by any effective
| means.
| His physicians say he cannot recover. They
! fill him with anodynes. but despite their favor
| able bulletins he is daily growing worse.
| specialist who has won reputation in the
! treatment of cancer visits his bedside. The
opposition he encounters from the attending
physicians brings painfully to mind the story
of the dog in the Manager.
| And General Grant, perhaps, must die because
of this intolerance! Is it possible that there
| is no hope of cure outside Of the medical pro-
fession?
Preposterous!
For years medical men insisted that certain
fevers were incursble, but Chincona proved the
contrary. For centuries they have protested
that certain renal disorders were incrr,ble, and
yet special preparation has cured, and perma-
nently cured, the very worst cases.
Why may it not be possible in like manner
to cure case of cancer? B. F. Larrabee, of
Boston, WAS doomed to death by many eminent
Boston physicians J. b. Henion, NJ. D., of
Rochester, n. Y, was given up by the best doc
tors of all schools. Elder J. S. Prescott, of
Cleveland, Ohio. was gravoly informed by them
that he could not live; and yet these men and
thousands like them have been cured, and cured
permanently, of serious kidney disorders by a
remedy not officially known to the CODE
What has been done may be done again.
General Arson Stager died of Bright's dis
ease in Chicago last week. Joe" Goss, the
Boston pugilist, died of it. Hundreds of thou
sands of people perish of it every year while
in their doctors hands. The cause of death
may be called blood poisoning, paralysis, heart
disease. commissions, apOplexy, pneumonia, or
some other common ailment. but the real diff
Guilty is in the kidneys. Physicians know it,
but they conceal the fact from their patients
realizing their inability to cure by any "au-
thorized means. The remedy that cured Lar

Its record entities it to recognition. and it gets
it from intelligent people. Its manufacturers
have an unsullied reputation and are entitled
to as great consideration as any school of ply

Professor r. A. Gum, NJ. D., Dean of the
United States Medical College Of New York
City, rises above professional prejudice and on
its personally proved merits alone gives it sew
eral pages of the warucst cOmnendation in his
published works-tEe only instance on record
of high professional Endorsement of such
preparation.
The unprejudiced people do not want Gen
era Grant to die. If there is in all nature or
anywhere in the world remedy or a man able
to cure his cancer, give them chance.
Will they do it?
No.
Why2
Is it not too often the case that many excel
lent physicians who are greatly devoted to the
code. would prefer that their patients should
die rather than that they should recover health
by the use of any remedy not recognized under
their code?
