GENERAL GRANT.
Is the Old Hero Dying Because OF
Medical Intolerance.


The american Hom0opathist has ar
article on the treatment of Genera
Grant by the Allopaths, in which il
says:
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 tor
turers, Here, also, there was much
medical heroism and activity displayed,
albeit misdirected. Other illustrious
patients have suffered from eminence
in the profession; but General Grant
of cold-hlooded expectancy. To him
the little group of eminence have moth
ing to offer but diagnosis. For him
they propose no relief but in the grave.
Ignoring the only sourc of therapeutic
salvation, they gather around his bed
side to observe his unaided struggle.
The fiat has gone forth that nothing
can be done; and nothing will be per-
mitted to be done. Those who ques-
ton such decision are quacks
and cranks; but who ought not
to be proud of such designation from
such source? Scholarly, refined, cul-
of what avail are all these good quail
ties 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
in consultation.
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 a hospi-
tai during the late war, noticed a poor
Confederate boy, MORALLY wounded.
With his native tenderness he puts 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 recover.
They fill 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
bedside. 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 because of this intolerance! Is it
possible that there is no hope of cure
outside of the medical profession?
Preposterous!
For years medical men insisted that
certain fevers were incurable, but Chin
coma proved the contrary. For centu-
ries 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 case of cancer? B.
F. Larrabee, 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 j. S.
Prescott, of Cleveland, Ohio, was grave
ly 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 pugilist, died of it.
Hundreds of thousands of people perish
of it every year, while in their doc
tors hands. The cause of death may
be called blood poisoning, paralysis,
heart disease, commissions, apopleXy,
pneumonia. or some other common all
ment. but the real difficulty is in the
kidneys. Physicians know it but they
conceal the fact from their patients, re-
alizing their inability to cure by any
authorized" means. The remedy that
cured Larrabee and Henion and Pres
colt ii. e., Warmers safe cure) is spe-
cial, Independent discovery. Its record
entities it to recognition, and it gets it
from intelligent people. Its manufac-
turers have an unsullied reputation
and are entitled to as great considera-
ton as any school of physicians.
Professor r. A. Gum, M. D., Dean
of the United States Medical College of
New York City, rises above profession
al prejudice and on its personally
proved merits alone gives it several
pages of the warmest commentator in
his published works-the only instance
on record of high professional en-
dorsement of such preparation.
The unprejudiced people do not
want General Grant to die. If there is
in all nature or anywhere in the world
a remedy or a man able to cure his
cancer, give them chance.
VIII they do it?
No.
Why?
Is it not too often the case that many
excellent physicians, who are greatly
devoted to the code, would prefer that
their patients should die rather than
that they should recover health by the
of
