GRANT OUT IN THE AIR.
HE REPEATS HIS WALK AND
DRIVE WITH NO BAD EFFECT.

Comfortable Night Which Was Inter
rupted by But One Spell OF Restless
ness-Pain in the Throat stin Felt at
Intervals-The General Better Than In
ThreeWeeks.
NEW YORK, April 22.-Dr. Douglas
said to-day that there were no i'll effects
from Gen. Grants exercise of yesterday,
and on the whole his condition is i'm
proved, but he is still very sick.
Between 10 and IL O'Clock last night
there was some noise in the Grant resi-
dence and it awoke the General, who at
the time of the disturbance had been
sleeping about half an hour. The sick
man aroused with a start and remained
wakeful until midnight, when he dropped
asleep and slept without interruption for
six hours. Between and 7 O'Clock this
morning the General was dressed and
food was served 70 him. He felt refreshed
and said so. DR.. Douglas, who had
been beside the General until he slept at
midnight, arose at O'Clock, treated the
Generals throat, and at $3.50 O'Clock left
the house. TheadOct0r stated that there
were no i'll effects from the Generals ex-
ercise yesterday, unless it was in added
fatigue that prevented profound sleep
during the early part of the night. The
neuralgiac pains were abated to-day, but
the trouble at the base Of the tongue is at
all times the seat Of greater or less pain
to the patient.
BRAZIL's REMEDY NOT USED.
DIR. Douglas, in referring tu the Brazil
ian cancer cure reported TO have been
sent to the family, said that the Generals
physicians had had the pre- oaration nearly
two months, but that it had never been
/ Il 4
OF its efficacy, and Gen. Grant was not n
patient to experiment upon. The name
OF the Brazilian preparation Is "AlvelOz,"
and It is the juice of a Southern plant. In
conclusion, and as he took a car, DR..
| Douglas remarked that TIE General Was
on the whole improved to-day, though he
was yet very sick man.
AT noon Gen. Grant and wife went to
drive in an open carriage. Sautes Of by
ISLANDERS were returned by the General
with smile and true military salute.
Drs. Barker, Shrndy and Douglas met
in consultation at2 O'Clock to-day. The
Generals throat was examined by aid Of
the electric light, and was found compare
lively better than when last seen by Drs.
Barker and Shrady on Sunday last.
AS DIR. Douglas was leaving, he
said, in response to an inquiry,
that the General experienced some pain
during the examination Of his throat, but
otherwise he had suffered no more pain
to-day than yesterday. His throat was
much improved, except at the main
point. The patient was stronger and eats
more and with greater desire for food.
BETTER THAN IN THREE WEEKS.
DIR. Douglas said that Gen. Grant was
better at present than when he took his
last drive before the alarming symptoms
were deYeloped-three weeks ago last
Sunday. The next consultation will take
place on Sunday next. DR.. Douglas was
Of the opinion that Gen. Grant would not
90 out to walk this afternoon, but the
doctor had not been gone 20minutes when
Gen. and Col. Grant left the house and
walked to Madison avenue. At the cCr-
ner the General stood few moments and
gazed down the avenue, and then slowly
retraced his steps to the house. The Gem
eral ascended the steps unaided, though
Col. Grant was close at his side.
At 9:30 O'Clock DIR. Douglas returned to
stay all night. He refused TO make any
statement Of the Generals condition, and
said that he would issue no more bule-
tins whether the other physicians did so
or not in the future. Several visitors
called during the evening. +. A. HOyt,
one Of the visitors, said that the General
seemed to be improving, but that the doc
tors disagreed as TO whether the progress
of the disease was arrested or not. The
house was closed at l0:45 O'clock.
