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


Medical Intolerance
The american homeopathic has an arti
Gle on the treatment of General Grant by
the allopaths, in which 1t says:
General Washington was murdered by
his medical attendants; but at least they
We're heroically-too heroically endeayor-
ing to extinguish the disease. Their bru-
tally was of the active sort, and in pur-
pose 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 torturers. Here, also, there was
much medical heroism and activity dis
played, albeit misdirected. Other illustrl-
Gus patients have suffered from eminence
in the profession but General Grant seems
reserved as q shining example of cold
blooded expectancy To him the little
group of eminence have nothing to offer
but a diagnosis. For him they propose no
relief but in the grave Ignoring the only
source of therapeutic salvation, they gather
round his bedside to observe his unaided
struggle. The fiat has gone forth that moth
ing can be done; and nothing will be per-
mitted to be done, Those who question
such decision are quacks and cranks; but
who ought not to be proud of such desig-
nation from such source? Scholarly, re-
fined, cultured, earnest gentlemen as they
are, 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, we'll
may the daily papers announce III start
ling headlines, a bad day for General
Grant-Seyen doctors in consultation
Yes, the hero of Appomattox is dying!
q nr Inn 10 l-t,Au n
fear III suffering. His quiet fortitude wins
universal admiration.
President Lincoln, in visiting hospital
during the late war, noticed poor Conted-
crate boy MORALLY wounded. With his ma
tive tenderness he put his arms around his
neck in sympathy The sight melted the
hospital 10 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 grow
ing worse.
A specialist who has won reputation in
the treatment of cancer visits his bedside.
The opposition he encounters brings pain
fully to mind the story Of the dog in the
manager.
And General Grant, perhaps, must die on
account Of this intolerance! Is it possible
that there is no hope Of cure outside of the
medical profession?
PrepOsterOuSi
For years medical men insisted that GER
tain fevers were incurable, but Giacond
proved the contrary. For centuries they
have protested that certain renal disorders
were incurable, and yet special prepare
ton has cured, and permanently cured the
very worst cases.
Why may it not be possible i'll like man
ner to cure a case of cancer? B. L. LARA
bee, of Boston, was doomed to death by
many eminent Boston physicians. J. b.
Henion, NJ. D., Of Rochester. n. Y, was
given up by the best doctors of all schools.
Elder J. s. Prescott, of Cleveland Ohio,
was grayely informed by them that he
could not live, and vet these men and
thousands like them Lave 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 doctors hands. The
cause of death may be called blood poison
ing paralysis, heart disease, commissions,
apopIeXy, pneumonia, or some other com
mon ailment, but the real difficulty is in
the kidneys. Physicians know it, but they
conceal the fact from their patients, reaiiz-
ing their inability to cure BY any author
lied " means. The remedy that cured Lar
rabee and Henion and Prescott Ii. e. War
ner's safe cure), is a special, Independent
discovery. Its record entities il to recog-
milton, and it gets it from intelligent people
Its manufacturers have an unsuilied repu-
talon and are entitled TO as great considera
ton as any school of physicians
Professor r. 4. Gum, NJ D., Dean Of
the United States Medical College of New
York City, rises above professional prciu-
dice, 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 a high profess
sional Endorsement of such preparation.
The unprejudiced people do not want
General Grant to die If there is in all ma
ture or anywhere in the world a remedy or
a man able to cure his cancer, give them a
chance.
VIII they do it?
No
Why?
Is it not too often the case that many ex-
cellent physicians who are greatly devoted
to the code, would prefer that their patients
should die rather than that they should re-
cover health by the use of any remedy not
recognized under their code?
