GENERAL GRANT
Is the Old 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: ttfs
General Washington was murdered
by his medical attendants; but at least
they were heroically-too heroically
endeavoring to extinguish 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 tortur-
ers. Here, also, there was much medi-
cal heroism and activity displayed,
albeit misdirected. Other illustrious
patients have suffered from eminence in
the profession; but General Grant seems
reserved as a shining example of cold
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 saliva
ton, they gather around 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 a
decision are quacks and cranks; but
who ought not to be proud of such a
designation from such a source {?
Scholarly, refined, cultured, 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-called scien-
tif1c 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 dy-
ing!
He who knew no fear in war, knows
no fear in suffering His quiet fortitude
wins universal admiration.
President Lincoln in visiting a 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 eff 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 yith anodynes but despite
their favorable bulletins he is daily
growing worse.
A specialist who has won reputation
in the treatment of cancer visits his
bedside. The opposition he encounters
from the attending physic ans brings
painfully to mind the story of the dog
in the manger.
And General Grant, perhaps, must die
because of this intolerance! Is it posi-
BILE that there is DO hope of cure outside
of the medical profession?
Preposterousl
For years medical men insisted that
certain fevers were incurable, but Chin
coma proved the contrary. For centur es
they have protested that certain renal
disorders were incurable and yet a
special preparation has cured and per-
manently cured the very worst cases.
Why may it not be possible in like
manner to cure a case of cancer? B.
f. Larrabee, of Boston, was doomed to
death by many eminent Boston physi-
clans. ]. B. Henion, NJ. D., of Rochester,
New York, was given up by the best
doctors of all schools. Elder J. S, Pres
colt, 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 kidney dis,
orders, by 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 pugilis., died of it.
Hundreds of thousands ofpeople perish
of it every year, while in their doctors
hands. The cause of death may be
called blood poisoning, paralysis, heart
disease, conEulsions, apopiexy,, pneu-
monia. or some other common ailtnent,
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 author
lied" means. The remedy that cured
Larrabee 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 in
telligent people. Its manufacturers
have an unsullied reputation and are
entitled to as great consideration as any
school of physicians.
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 several pages of
the warmest commentator in his pub
lished works-the only instance on re-
cord of high professional endorse
ment of such preparation.
The unprecedented people do not want
General Grant to die. If there is in all
nature or anywhere in the world a
remedy or man able to cure his cancer
give them chance.
Will they do it?
No. --,--
Why? f.-.
Is it not too often the case that many
excellent physicians who are greatly
devoted to the. code, would perier that
their patients should die rather than
