GENERAL GRANT.
Kind Feelings Toward the Old Man in
Both Parties, and Both Sections.

mich of the bitterness which sue
cessful life produces, especially among
those who have held a prominent
political part in the affairs OF the ma
ton. seems to have died out since
General Grant, aged, helpless, insol-
vent. and seemingly about to die, has
again come prominently before the
American people. The daily bulletin
of his health is perused eagerly by ms
present friends and former enemies,
and. disguise it as we may, there Is
profound feeling of sorrow that the
old General, though bearing his ills
bravely, is evidently, unless he is
properly treated medically, not long
for this world.
The General has held SO prominent
a part in the history of the present
generation, that he deserves to have
the best remedies that medical skill
can furnish. Much of his trouble ap-
pears to be neuralgia, independently
| of the epithelial affection of the tongue,
and it is a pitiful spectacle, when we
see the old man, az he Is represented
in the dispatches, as sitting at table
with his head bound up, and every
nerve vibrating with neuralgia, writ
ing his second volume of military rem
iniscences. lest time shall not permit
him either to finish the second or re-
wise the first He has had one or two
teeth drawn, reports say, to relleve
neuralgia, but neuralgia is disease OF
the nerves, and no mere local applica-
ton will affect the principle when

remedy and show him the following:
