GENERAL GRANT
THE NEuRAI.a1o TROUBLES Winch ADD
TO HIS TORTURE.
KIND FEELING TOWARD THE OLD MAN
AMONG BOTH PARTIES, AND BOTH
sMoTI oNs.

Much of the bitterness which a sue
cessful life produces especially among
these who have held prominent politi-
cal part in the affairs of the nation, seems
TO have died ont since General Grant,
aged, helpless, inaolvent, and seemingly
about to die. has again come prominent
ly before the American people. Ihe
daily bulletin of his health is perused
eagerly by his present friends and form
er enemies, and. disguise it as we may,
there is a profound feeling of sorrow
that the old General though bearing his
ills bravely, is evidently. unless he is
properly treated medically, not long for
this world.
The General has hell 80 prominent
part in the history OF the present genera
tion, that he deserves to have the best
remedies that medical skill can furnish.
Much of his trouble appears to be nen-
ralgia, independently of the ep1thelial
affection of the tongue, and it is pitiful
spectacle, when we see the old man. as
he is represented IN the dispatches, as
sitting ut table with his head bound
up, and every nerve vibrating with
neuralgia, writing his second volume OF
military "reminiscences, lest time shall
not permit him either to finish the seo
ond or revise the first He has had one
or two teeth drawn, reports say, to re-
lieve neuralgia, but neuralgia is dis
ase of the nerves. and no mere local ap-
plication will affect the principle which
must "lay the axe at the root OF the
tree" and touch the cause instead OF the
effect,
It might not be aniss for some OF the
Generals true friends, medical or other,
wise, to lay before him the true remedy
aud show him the following:
| Capt. John Orr, Pearlington, MISS,
\ has been most intense sufferer from
facial neuralgia for over twenty years.
| He has had seventeen operations per-
formed on the nerves thnt is, had them
divided, cut of close to the bone from
which they emerge, But this never did
him any good; the most e1cruciatinR
pain continued without the least inter.
ruption. He often wished for death to
relieve him of the intolerable pain. The
best physicians failed to relieve him.
They finally advised hlm to consulf Drs
Huffman & miller, at the st. Charles
Hotel, New Orleans, which he did
.Tkey prescribed Peruna, and in lesl
than month was entirely relleYeus 0
the pain.
Mrs. Elizabeth Kennsr, 99 Laure
street, New Orleans, has been one OF TIN
greatest suffers from neuralgia OF th
face during.the past year that we hay
overheard Of. From morning to night
and from night to morning, there wa
Que constant, racking, tearing. burning
pain, extending clear around her head
and deep down through every muscle
tooth and bone in her face. No rest nm
no sleep. All physicians failed to re
lie7e her, az we'll as all remedies. Sh
was constantly in; the most agoniziu
despair. She called on DR.. Hartman
who prescribed Peruna for her, and no
J every pain has left her. .
General Grants will power is wht
has kept him up so.long. II the Gel
eral will only exert il now and tt
Peruna. he will probably have ne
lease of life, and live to enjoy his reti
{ ing pension for many years.
