GENERAL GRANT.

GENERAL GRANT.
= Ne Old Hero Dying Because Of Msdica
Interference.
The american Homepath;a has an arti.
He on the treatment of General Grant
by the Allopaths. in which it says:
General Washington was murdered
Dy his medical attendants; but at least
they were heroically-too heroically en-.
0eavorlng to extinguish the disease
Their brutality was of the active sort
and In purpose commendable, thoUgh
disastrous in result. General Garfield
was msltreated for months under an
error of diagnosis, and at last escaped be-
yond the reach of his eminent tortures.
Here. also, there was much medical
heroism and activity Displayed, albeit
misdirected. Other illustrious patients
have suffered from eminence in the pro-
fessioD: but General Grant seems re-
served as shining example of cold
blo0ded expectancy. To him the little
group of eminence have nothing to offer
but a diagnosis. For him they propose
no relief but in the grave. IgnoI ing the
only source of therapeutic salvation,
they gather round his bedside to observe
his unaided struggle. The fat has gone
forth that nothing can be done; and
nothing will be perm tied to bedone Those
who question such decision are quacks
and cranks; but who ought not to be
proud of such designation from such a
source? Scholarly, refined, cultured,
earnest gentleman as they are, of what
avail are all these coed qualities in the
presence of such therapeutic bankruptcy?
On the contrary; while sc-cal.ed scientific
medicine is to the fore, well may the
daily papers announce in startling head
lines, "A bad day for General Grant
Seven doctors in consult alton"
Yes. the hero of Appomattox is..dying!
He who knew no fear in war, knows
no fear in suffering. His quiet fortitude
wins universal admiration.
President Lincoln, in visiting hospit-
al during the late war, noticed poor
Confederate boy, MORALLY wounded.
With bis native tendrness 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 can not recover.
They Sill him with anodynes 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 physicians brings
painfully to mind the story of the dog in
the manger.
And General Grant, perhaps, must die
becouse of this intolerance! Is it posi-
bic that there is no hope of cure outside
of the medical profession?
Preposterous!
For years medical men insisted that
certain fevers were incurable, but chinco-
na proved the contrary. For centuries
they have protested that certain venal
disorders were incurable and yet a spec
ial 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 bp many eminent Boston physi-
clans. j. B. Henion, M. D., of R0ches-
ter, N. Y, was given up by the best doc.
tors of all schools. Elder J. s. Prescott,
of Cleveland, Ohio. was gravely inform
ed 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, bp a remedy
not officially known to the code.
What has been done may be done
again.
General Arson Stager died of Bright's
disease in Chicago last week. "Joe"
Goss, the Boston pugilist, died of it.
Hundreds of thousands 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, appoplexy, pneu-
monia, or some other common ailment,
but the real difficulty is in the kidneys.
Physicians know it, but they conceal the
fact from their patients, realizing their
inability to cure by any authorized"
means. The RENE ly that cured LARA
bee and Henion and Prescott ii. e., War
ner's safe cure) is a special, independent
discovery. It's record entities it to recog-
milton, and it gets it from intelligent
people. It's manufacturers have an un-
sullied reputation and are entitled to as
great consideration as any school of
physicians.
Prof. r. A. Gum, NJ. D., Dean of the
United States Medical College of New
York City, rises above professional pref
udice and on its personally proved mer-
its alone gives it several pages of the
warmest commendation in his published
works-the only instance on record of a
high professional endorsement of such
preparation.
The unparalleled people do not want
General Grant to die. If there is in all
nature or anywhere in the world rem
edy or man ableto cure his cancer, give
them chance.
Will they do it?
No.
Why?
: Is it not often the case that many ex-
eellent physicians who are greatly de-
voted 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.
