GEN. GRANT,
Is the Old Hero Dying because OF
Medical Intolerance.

The american Homeopathic has an ar |
tiole on the treatment Of Con. Grant by |
the Allopaths, in which IL says:
"Gon. Washington was murdered by his
medical attendants; but at least they
were heroicaliy-too heroically endeavor.

brutality was Of tho active sort, and in
purpose commendable. though disastrous
In result. Gen. Garfield was maltreated
for months under an error Of diagnosis,
and st 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
ominence in the profession; but Gen.
Grant seems reserved as shining OK
ample of cold-blooded expectancy. To
him the little group of eminence have
nothing to offer but 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 strhg-,

such decision are quscks aud crarks;
but who ought not to BIO proud of such q

refined, cultured, earnest gentlemen as
they are, OF what avail are all these

Ho who knew no fear in war knows no

President Lincoln, in visiting hos

confederate boy mortally wounded. With
his native tenderness, he put his arms
around his neck In sympathy. The sight
melted the hospital to tears.

A specialist who has won reputation In
the treatment OF cancer visits his bedside.
The opposition he encounters from the
attending physicians brings painfully to
mind the story Of the dog in the mauKer.
And Gen. Grant, perhaps must die be-
cause Of this intolerance. Is it possible
that there is no hope of cure outside Of
the medical profes5ion2
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
disorders were incurable, aud yet O
special preparation has cured aud perma-
nently cured the very worst cases.
Why may IL not be possible in like
manner to cure a case of cancerH u. f.
