htilClt ph bhp NAUaSthNhh VI uSAVAHA Grant by the AllOpaths, in which it says:
 General Washington was murder ed by his medical attendants; but at least they were heroically-too heroic ally endeayorins to extinguish the dis ease, The 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 torturers. Here, also, there was much medical hsroism and activity displayed, albeit misdrrected, Other illustrious patients nave suffered from eminence in the professloni but Gen eral Grant seems reserved as shining example of the eold-blooded expectan. Cy; To him the little group of emi- rerice have nothing to offer but diag- nosis. For him they propose no relief but in the grave. Ignoring the only source of therapeutic salvation they gather around his bed to observe his unaided struggle. The fiat has gone forth that nothing can be done, and nothing will be permitted to be done. Those who question such decision are quacks and crauks, but who ought not to be proud of such designation from such source? Scholarly, refined, cultured, earnest gentlemen as they are, of what ayall are all these good qualities in the presence of such thera- peutic bankruptcy? On the contrary, while soscalled scientific medicine is to the fore, well may the daily papers announce in startling headlines, "A Bad Day for General Grant-Seven Doctors in Consultation
 Yes, the hero of AppomattoH is dy- ing!
 He who knew no fear in war, knows no fear in suffering. His quiet forti- tude wins universal admiration.
 President Lincoln, in visiting hos pital during the late war, noticed a a poor Confederate boy mortally wounded With his native tenderness he put his arms around his neck in sympathy. The sight melted the hos pital to tears.
 The heart of the American people in like manner bleeds for Grant, the silent sufferer, It would have him get well, by an effective means.
 His physicians say he cannot recov- CT. They fli him with anodynes, but despite their favorable bulletins he is daily growing worse.
 A specialist who has won reputation iR the treatment of cancer visits his bedside. The position he encounters from the attending physicians brings painfully to mind the story of the dog Tn the manager.
 And General Grant perhaps must die because of thIs intolerance! Is it possible that there IS no hope of cure outside of the medical professional
 Preposterous
 For years medical men insisted that certain fsvers were incurable, but Chincona proved the contrary. For centuries they have protested that certain renal disorders were incurable and yet special preparation has cured and permanently cured the very worst cases.
 Why may it not be possible in like manner to cure a case of cancer? B. F. Larabee of Boston, was doomed to death by many eminent Boston phy- sicisrs. J. B. Henion, Nj. D., of Roch- ester, N. r., 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 can be done again.
 Gen. Anson Stager dled of Bright's disease in Chicago last week. "Joer Goss, the Boston pugilist died of it. Hundreds of thousands of people per ish of it every year while in their doc tors hands. The cause of death may be called blood poisioning, paralysis, heart-disease, convulsions, apoplexy, pneumonia, or some other common ailment, but the real difficulty is in the kidneys, Physicians know it but they conceal the fact from thelr patients, realizing their inability to cure by any authorized" means. The remedy that cured Larabee and Henion and Prescott (i. e., Warmers safe eure) is a special independent discovery. Its record entities it to recognition, and gets it from intelli. gent people. Its manufacturers have an unsulIied reputation and are en- titled to as great consideration as any school of physicians.
