GENERAL GRANT.
Is the Old Hero Dying Because Of
Medical Tnt0lerancel

Medical Entolerancee
The Anerican homeopathic has AMI
article on the treatment of General
Grant by the Allopaths, in which it
says:
g General Washington was murdered
by his medical attendants; but at least
they were heroically-too heroically-
endeavoring to extinguish the disease.
Their brutality was of the active sort.
and in purpose commendable, though
disastrous in result. General Garfield
was maltreated for months under an
error of diagnosis, and at last escaped
beyond the reach of his eminent tor
tnrers. Here, also, there was much
medical heroism and activity displayed,
albeit misdirected. Other illustrious
patients have suffered from emlnenceI
in the profession but General Grant
seems reserved as shining example OF
the 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
salvation, they gather round
his bedside TO observe his unaided
struggle. The fat has gone forth that
nothing can be done; and 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 gentlemen as they are, OF what
avail are all these good qualities IN
presence of such therapeutic bank
ruptcy? On the contrary, while So
called scientific medicine is to the fore,
we'll may the daily papers announce in
startling headlines, A Bad Day for
General Grant-Seven Doctors Con-
sultation.'"
Yes, the hero of Appomattox is dying!
He who knew no fear in war, knows
no fear in suffering. His quiet forti-
tude wins universal admiration.
President Lincoln, i'll visiting hos
pital during the late war, noticed a poor
Confederate 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 i'll
like manner bleeds for Grant, the silent
sufferer. 1t would have him get we'll,
by any effective means.
His physicians say he cannot recover.
They fill him with anodynes, but de-
spite their favorable bulletins he is
daily growing worse.
A specialist who has won reputation
in the treatment of cancer visits his
bedside The opposition he encoun-
ters from the attending physicians
brings painfully to mind the story OF
the dog in the manger.
And General Grant perhaps must
die because of this intolerance! Is it
possible that there is no hope of cure
outside of the medical profession?
Preposterousl

certain feyers were incurable, bit

Will they do it?
No.
