THE "MEDICAL RECORD" EXPLAINS IT'S Fon.
MER DIAGNOSIS, AND GIVES NEW ONE.
Some time ago the Medical Record of New
York published a statement saying that the
alarming symptoms i'm Gen. Grants disease had
subsided and that he was in a fair way TO re.
cover. Later the daily papers OF New York an.
nounced that the general had suddenly become
worse that his whole frame was racked with
neuralgia pains and that il was only a question
OF a few weeks, or months at the outside, when
death would ensge. On saturday the Medical
Record Will publish an explanation of its favor
able announcement regarding Gen. Grants case,
accompanied by a letter iIom Dr. Fordyce Bar.
ker, on whose diagnosis the announcement waa
made. DIR. Barker declares That bis statement
WAS literally true at the time. DIR. Douglas, who
was treating Gen. Grant, conceded in DIR. Bar
ker's view OF the matter. An unfavorablo
change came after the failure Of Congress to
pass the retirement bill on the third Monday in
February. DIR. Barker says: "His vital powers
suddenly broke down, and the local malady
speedily assumed a new aspect. The newspaper
accounts have been greatly exaggerated, and
we have never anticipated any such q speedy
termination as they have indicated. do NOT
believe that DIR. Douglas ever used the word
cancer in connection with the case. We have
always spoken OF ii as epithelioma Of q maiig-
nant type probably. 1t was greatly improved
