GENERAL GRANT.
Is the Old Hero Dying Because OF Medi-
cal Intolerance?

cal Intolerance?
The American HoRgop0thiSt has an ar
ticle on the treatment of Gen. Grant by
the allopaths, in which it says:
seen. Washington was murdered by his
medical attendants, but at least they
were heroically-too herOically-endeav-
orIng TO eXtinguish the disease. Their
brutality was of the active sort and in
purpose commendable. though disastrous
in result. Gen. 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
displayed, albeit misdirected. Other il
lustrious patients have suffered from
eminence In the profession, but Gen. Grant
seems rec rived as shining example OF
cod-blooded expectancy. To him the
little group of eminence have nothing TO
offer but diagnosis. For him they pro-
pose 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 nothing can be done; and moth
ing viii be permitted to be done. Those
who questioned such decision are
quacks and cranks; but who ought not to
be proud of such designation from such
a source? Scholarly. refined, cultured,
earnest gentlemen as they are, of what
avail are all these good qualities in the
presence of such therapeutic 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 Gen. Grant-Seven doc
tors in consultation"
Yes, the hero of AppOmattOX is dying
He who knew no fear in war, knows no
fear in suffering. His quiet fortitude
wins universal admiration.
President Lincoln, in visiting a hospital
during the late war, noticed a poor Con-
federate boy, mortally 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. 1t would have him get wei by
any elective 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 from the at
tending physicians brings painfully to
mind the story OF the dog in the manager.
And Gen. Grant, perhaps, must die be-
cause of this intolerance! Is it possible
that there is no hope of cure outside of-the

PrepOsterOus!
For years medical men insisted that
certain fevers were incurable, but Chin
coma proved the contrary. For centuries
they have protested that certain renal dis
orders were incurable, and yet special
preparation has cured, and permanently
cured, the very worst cases.
Why may it not be possible in like man.

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 gravely 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 may be done again.
Gen. Arson Stager died Of Brisbt's dis
ease in Chicago last week. joe Goss,
the Boston pugilist, died OF it. Hundreds
of thousands of people perish of IL every
year, while in their DOCTORS hands. The

common ailment, but the real difficulty is

independent discovery. Its record enti-

Prof. X. A. Gum, NJ. D., Dean Of the
United States Medical College of New

The unprejudiced people do not want
Gen. 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.
VIM they do it?
No.
Why?
Is it not too often the case that many
excellent physicians who are greatly de-
voted to the code, would prefer that their
patients should die rather than that they
