GEN GRANTS PHYSICIANS NOT ASrONIsHED

From The Medical Record, AprU 20.
The physical condition Of General Grant has mark
edly improved during the past week. There Ia no
authority for the statement that his physicians at any
most encouraging reports or the patents progress In
fact il has charged that the physicians were sup
pressing all reference TO graver symptoms
The bulletins which have been Issued AT the request OF
the family OF General Grant and in answer TO the lnees-
sant demands the press have been simply bare state
ments OF the exact conditions at tho time without any
theories or comments The medical attendants are con-
seoeny In responsible for the mass OF sensa-
tona rmors that come from professional sources
and III the newspapers. -,
The medical staff has always maintalnod that the
amount OF general depression was out OF
nil proportion the of the local disease that the
latter would not itself be the OF death unless by
the accidental erosion of large artery, or possible
stranguatOn from the sudden separation OF the slough
Both these contingencies guarded against every
nossble precauton which could be taken. In the
me the result OF the most careful topical and general
treatment, the. bodily strength OF the patient was
nrured, HIS pain assuaged, his sleep secured and in
this way his life has been prolonged.
AT one time only did death seem Imminent from gem
era exhaustion threatened heart failure and but Tor
timely assistance would probably have occurred. On no
other occasion has there been any for alarm.
The General has been In any danger from choking
and only hemOrrhage which occurred was OF sght
extent and ceased or itself. -
General stronger and his physicians are
neither dumfounded nor surprised II was what might
have been expected and all treatment has been directed
TO that end The slough has nearly entirely separated
from the throat and far OF immediate danger
has been removed but the throat disease Is still there
although for the present II Is apparently quiescent
There IA certainly nothing In oil this b prove any error
In diagnosis or progaosls Nor has there been inc

freight is abandoned by the Central. After the
signatures Of the officers of the Central had been Affixed

made OF the other trunk lines to their views

advancing makes ii idle to discuss the question OF
his so-caled explanation of the affair at Pcnjdeh
If after that encounter he pushed on, or II the nus
Sims at Zulficar have also found themselves
obliged to advance, not even Mr.. STEAD VIII
think 1t worth while to maintain that Ueherai
Komaroff has observed the pledge OF the lth
March. Mr.. Stead's paper at present is TO the ais
interested spectator the most comic OF all inc
comic papers in London. He has evolved theory
of that engagement and constructed plan Oh H. 10
which nothing in history can be compared, unless
It be the late John Phenix's naval battle Oh 'no
shores of the Pacific The innocent Russians are
shown to be surrounded by the wicked Afghahs
and in danger of determination. An affecting ac-
count is gwen of the ferocity of the Afghans All
the more affecting because those ferocous warriors
were presently themselves nearly exterminated by
the mild Russians whose existence was IN such
peril. To nobody but Mr.. Stead aud to the syndl-
Gated editors of Mr.. Carnegie do the explanations
of General Komaroff seem satisfactory. III Is
pointed out here that General Komarof by his own
account made the first encroachment. Ihe IuheS
gives convenient summary OF this explanations
General Komaroff deliberately went in search
of an Afghan intrenchment, he sat down IN lron.-
ing IT at easy Smelling range, he sent out an au-
vance guard to seize any other undlsputed position
that might be convenient. he sent an ultlmatum 10
the Afghan commander requiring his Immediate
evacuation of his position. and compliance peihg
refused, he marched with his whole force against
the Afghan intrenchment; and yet he was oil tne
while laboring 10 avoid combat and counting
upon pacific issue"
If Sir Peter Lumsden-to suppose the most i'm
probable of posslbilitIes-should confirm the Rus
sian story we'll and good. But there are few Eng
lishmen at present Mr.. Stead excepted, who can be
got to believe that Russian with any strong rea-
son for lying will be likely to tell the absolute
truth. They do not say this is crude form OF
words. What they say Is that General Komaroh Is
humorist of the first water G. VS..

A PROTEST FROM HENRY BERGH.

Henry Bergh on behalf of the Society for the
Prevention OF Cruelty to Animals, has senta protest to
the State Assembly against the passage by that body of
an amendment to Section No. 6G1 Of the Penal Code,
which says will give the street railroad companies In
this city the right TO food the streets with brine The
law passed in 1876 prohibited the companies from do
ing this Mr. Bergh calls attention also 70 the fact that
city ordinance is in force here which imposes q
fine OF $1,000 upon any person or corporation found
guilty OF the practice and he asks the Legislature 10
permit the law 10 remain 1t Is Mr. Bergh says that
the amendment is urged by the streecar companies Of
this city escape the responsibility of removing the
snow from their tracks Tho protest cites the danger Of
dphtheria and kindred diseases among school children
resulting from the practice, calls to mind the case OF
naval officer who stepped from platform into "a
pool OF brine and had TO have both feet amputated IN
consequence of which ne died. and winds by quoting
authority who that and salt when mixed
together form muddy liquid Of the temperature OF zero
