Mt MACGREGOR, \. Y, June 29,--ln the
afternoon Gen. Grant wrote upon his pad,
telling DR.. Douglas that he had no pain
and that he was feeling as well rs on
Sunday. The prolonged quiet of the sick
\ man, however, did not assure all his
friends and it having become evident to
him that such was the case, he wrote
during the afternoon these words
"Do as | do, take it quietly.
Agive myself not the least concern
yIf | knew that the end was to be
tomorrow | would try and get rest in the
meantime. As long as there is no pro-

&bed and at $3.50 he seemed to he sleeping.
IDr. Douglas then thought the patient
would pass quite night.

palling story
Several months ago she became
almost totally blind and deaf, and
could not taste anything except
salt. Her bones became the seat
Of intense pain, hpr joints were
swollen and painful, and even.
tually her whole body ami limbs
became covered with splotches
and small sores. Her appetite
failed, and she gradually lost flesh
and strength, and had but little
use Of herself, as her limbs and
muscles were paralyzed. She, as
well as her friends and those with
whom she lived, despaired Of her
recovery. Her ~sulferings, COM
bined with loss Of hearing and
taste, and blindness, were truly
heartrending.
All treatment from physician.
and the use Of medicines seemed
powerless. Her disease was blood
poison and rheumatism.
As she now seemed we'll and
hearty the reporter asked what
wrought such Il wonderful change
