GENERAL GRANT.
Is the Ola Hero Dying Because OF
Medical Intolerance?

The american Homeopathic 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
were heroically-too neutrality-suspicious.
ing to extinguish the disease. Their bru-
tality was Of the active sort, and in pur.
pose 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 emil
nent tOrturers. Here, also, there was much
medical heroism and activity displayed,
albeit misdirected. Other illustrious pa
tients have suffered from eminence In the
profession but General Grant seems re-
served as shining example Of cold-blooded
expectancy. To him the little group of
eminence have nothing to offer but dag
nosis. 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 unaided struggle.
The fat has gone forth that nothing can BIO
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 q designation from such
source? Scholarly, refined, cultured,
earnest gentlemen as they are, of what avail
are all these good qualities in tho presence
of such therapeutic bankruptcy? On the
contrary, while so-called scientific medi-
cine is TO the fore, we'll may the daily
papers announce in startling headlines: "A

He who knew no fear in war, knows no
fear in suffering. His quiet fortitude wins
universal admiration.
President Lincoln, in visiting hospital
during the late war, noticed poor Con-
federate boy MORALLY wounded. With his
native tenderness 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, tho silent sufferer.

His physicians say he cannot recover.
They fill him with anodynes, but despite
their favorable bulletins he is daily growing
worse.
A specialist who has won reputation ia
the treatment of cancer visits his bedside.
The opposition he encounters from the at
tending physicians brings painfully to mind
the story of tho dog in the manger.
And General Grant, perhaps, must die be-
cause of this intolerance Is 1t possible that
there is no hope of cure outside of the medi-
cal profession ?
Preposterous
For years medical men insisted that GER
tain fevers were incurable, but Ctnchona
proved the contrary. For centuries they
have protested that certain renal disorders
were incurable, and yet special prepare
tion has cured and permanently cured the
very worst cases.
