GENERAL GRANT.
Is the Old Hero Dying Because of
Medical Intolsrance?

The american Homeopathic has an
article on the treatment OF General
Grant by the Allopaths, in which il
says:
General Washington was muir
dered by his medical attendants but
at least they were heroically-too
heroically endeavoring to extinguish
the disease. Their brutality wac ;.
the active sort, and in purpose GEM
mendable, though disastrous in re-
suit. General Garfield was me-
treated for months under an error OF
diagnosis, and at last escaped beyond
the reach of his eminent torturers.
Here, also, there was much medical
heroism and activity displayed, albeit
instructed. Other illustrious pa
tients have suffered from eminence
in the profession but General Grant
seems reserved as shining example
of the C, ld-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 I'M
aided struggle. The fiat has gone
forth that Dothing can be done; and
nothing will be permitted to be done.
Those who question such a decision
are quaeks and cranks; but who
ought not to be proud of such a desig-
nation from such a source? Scholarly,
refined, cultured, earnest gentlemen
as they are, of what avail are all
these good qualities in the presence
of such therapeutic bankruptcy? On
the contrary, while so-called scien-
tific medicine is to the fore, well may
the daily papers announce in start
ling headlines, "A Bad Day for Gem
eral Grant-Seven Doctors in Consul
tation.
Yes, the hero of Appomattox ia
dying!
He who knew no fear in wal, knows
no fear in suffering. His quiet forti-
tude wins universal admiration.
President Lincoln, in visiting a
hospital during the late war. noticed
a poor Confederate boy, MORALLY
wounded. With his native tender
ness 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 re-
cover. They fill him with anodynes,
but despite their favorable bulletins
he is daily growing worse.
! A specialist who has won reput2-
ton in the treatment of cancer visita
his bedside. The opposition he en-
counters from the attending physi-
clans brings painfully to mind the
story of the dog in the manger.
And General Grant perhaps must
die because of this intolerancel Is it
possible that there is no hope of cure
outside of the medical profession2
! 7 posterous
! For years medical men insisted
that certain fevers were incurable, but
Chinchona proved the contrary. For
centuries they have protested that
certain renal disorders were ineurable
and yet special preparation has
cured and permanently cured the
very worst cases.
Why may it not be possible in like
manner to cure case of cancer? B.
F. Larabee of Boston, was doomed to
death by many eminent Boston physi-
clans. J. B. Henion, M. D., of Roches-
ter, N. Y, was given up by the best
doctors of all schools. Elder ]. s.
Prescott of Cleveland, Ohio, was
gravely informed by them that he
could not live, and yet these men and
thousands like them have been cured
and cured permanently of serious kid
ney disorders by remedy not Off
cally k own to the code.
What has been done may be done
again.
General Arson Stager died of
Bright disease in Chicago last week.
"Joe" Goss, the Boston pugilist, died
of it. Hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie 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 authorized"
means. The remedy that cured Lara
bee and Henion and Prescott ii. e.,
Warmers safe cure) is a special, indie
pendent discovery. Its record entities
it to recognition, and it gets it from
intelligent people. Its manufactur-
ers have an unsullied reputation and
are entitled to assgreat consideration
as any school of physicians.
Professor r. A. Gum, M. 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 several pages of the warmest COM
