GENERAL GRANT.
Is the Old Hero Dying Because Of Med
ical Intolerance.

The american Homgopathist has an
article on the treatment of General
Grant by the Allopaths, in which it
says:
General Washington was murdered
by his medical attendants; but at least
they heroically-too heroically endeav-
ored to extinguish the disease. Their
brutality was of the active sort, and in
purpose commendable, though disas-
trous in result. 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 heroism
and activity displayed, albeit misdirect-
ed. Other illustrious patients have
suffered from eminence in the profess
sion; but General Grant seems reserved
as shining example of cold blooded
expectancy. To him the little group
of eminence have nothing to offer but a
diagnosis. For him they propose no re-
lief but in the grave. Ignoring the only
source of therapeutic salvation, they
gather round his bedside to observe 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 decision are
quacks and cranks; but who ought not
to be proud of such a designation from
such source? Scholarly, refined, Gull
tured, 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 scientific medicine is to the
fore, well may the daily papers an.
nounce in startling headlines, "A bad
day for General Grant, seven doctors

Yes, the hero of Appomattox is dy'
ing!
He who knew no fear in war, knows
no fear in suffering. His quiet forti.
tude wins universal admiration.
President Lincoln, in visiting hos.
pital during the late war, noticed .

his arms around his neck in sympathy.
The sight melted the hospital to tears
The heart of the American people il

sufferer. 1t would have him get we'll b,
any effective means.
His physicians say he can not recov

A specialist who has won reputation
in the treatment of cancer visits hi

painfully in mind the story of the do
in the manger.
| And General Grant, perhaps, mus
die because of this intolerance! Is
possible that there is no hope of cur
outside of the medical profession?
Preposterous!
| For years medical men insisted tbs
certain fevers were incurable, but Chi.
coma proved the contrary. For Gel
turtles they have protested that certai
venal disorders were incurable and y,
a special preparation has cured an
permanently cured the very wor.
cases.
Why may it not be possible in lik
manner to cure a case of cancer? F
F. Larrabee, of Boston, was doomed [
death by many eminent Boston phys
clans. j. B. Henion, NJ. D., of Roc
ester, N. Z, was given up by the be
doctors of all schools. Elder J..
Prescott, of Cleveland, Ohio, was gray
" informed by them he could n
live, and yet these men and thousan,
like them have been cured and cure
permanently, of serious kidney disc
ders, by remedy not officially know
to the code.
What has been done may be do
again.
