GENERAL GRANT.
IL the Old Hero Dying Because OF Medical
fntolerencef

The American Homeopathist has an article
on the treatment OF General Grant By the
slIopstbs, in which Ii says:
General Washington was murdered by
bis medical attendants; but at least they
were hsrocially-too herocially endssvoring
10 extipguish the disease. Their brutality
was OF the active sort. and in purpose con-
mendable. though disastrous in result Gen.
ersl Garfield Was maltTeated for months IN
der en- error of diagnosis, and at last escaped
beyond the reach OF the eminent tortureIs.
Here, also there wss anuch medical heroism
and activity displayed, albeit misdirected.
Other iliustrious patients have suffered from
eminence in the profession; bat General
Grant seems reserved as a shining example
OF cold bloodea expectancy. To him the lit
tie group OF eminence have nothing to offer
but diagnosis. For him they propose
no relief but in the grave. Ignor-
ing the only source OF therapeutic
salvation. they gather round his bedside to
observe his uDaided struggle. The fiat has
gone forth that nothing can be done; aud
nothing will be permitted to be done. Those
who question such decision are quacks and
cranks; but who ought not to be proud of
such designation from such a source?
Scholarly, refined, cultured, earnest gentle
men as they sre, OF what avail are all these
good Qualities in TIE presence of such thera-
peutic bankruptcy? On the contrary, while
so-called scientific medicine is to the fore,
well may the daily papers announce in
startling headlines, "a bad day for General
Grsnt-Seyen doctors in con sultstien."
Yes, the hero of Appomattox is dying
He who knew no tear in war, knows no
lear IN suffering. HIS quie! forlituds wins
universal admiration.
President Lincoln, in visiting hospital
during the late war. noticed poor Conied-
crate boy, mortslly wounded. With his
native tenderness he put his arms around his
neck in sympathy. The sight melted the
hospital to tears.
The heart of the American people in like
manner bleeds for Grant, the silent sufferer.
l. would have him get well, by any effective
means
His physicians say he can not recover.
They I'LL him with anodyDes but despite
favorable bulletins he is daily growing worse
specialist who has won reputation in the
treatment OF cancer visits his bad side. The
opposition he encounters from the attend
ing physicians brings painfully to mind toe
story of the dog in the manger.
And General Grant, perhaps, must die b.
caUse OF this intoleraDcs Is IL prossible that
there is no hope Of cure outside of the medi-
cal profession?
PrepOstero1sl
For years medical men insisted that GER
tain fevers were incurRble, but Chincona
proved the contrary. For centuries they
have protested that certain renal disorders
were incursble, and yet a spt cial preparation
has cured and permanently cured the very
worst cases.
Why msy it not be possible in like man
ner to cure case of cancer? B. T. LARA
bee, Of Boston, was doomed to death By
many eminent Boston physicians. J. 3
Henion, NJ. D.. OF Rochester. n. Y, was
gwen mp by the best doctors OF all schools.
Elder J. S. Prescott, OF Cleveland, Ohio was
gTsvely informed by them that he could not
live, aud yet these men and thousands like
them have been cured permanently OF ssri-
Gus kidney disorders by q remedy not Off
cislly known to the code.
Whist hss been done may be done again.
General Arson Stager died of Bright's dis
esse in Chicago last week. "Jos" Goss, the
thousands of people perish OF it ever year,
while in their DEBTORS hands. The cause OF
death may be called blood poisoning psrsly.
sis. heart disease, commissions, apoplexy,
pneumonia, or SEINE other common ailment,
but the real difficulty Is In the kidneys Phy-
siciaHs know it but the they conceal fact from
their patients, realizing their inability to cure
by authorized" means. The remedy that
cured Larrabee and Henion and Prescott (i
e., Warmers safe oure) is a special, iudepend-
eDt discovery. Its record entities it to recog-
milton, and it gets il from intelligent people.

Professor K. A. Gunn NJ. d., Dean of the
United States Medical College OF New York
City, rises above professional prejuice aud
on It's personally proved merits alone gives
1t several pages of the warmest commsnda-
ton IN his published works-the only in
stance on record OF a high professional en-
dorsement OF such preparation.
The uHprejudiced people do not want Gen.
eTal Grant to die. II there is in all nature
or anywhere in the world a remedy or q
man able 10 cure his cancer, give them 9
chance.
Will they do it?
No.
Why
Is it not too often the case that many ex-
cellent physicians who are greatly devoted
10 the code would prefer that their patients
should die rather than that they sh ould re-
cover health by the use of any remedy not
recognized under their code?
