GENERAL GRANT.
Is the Old Hero Dying Because of Medical Ii

Ii the Old Hero Dying Because Of Medical In
tolerance.
The american Homg0pathiSt has an
article on the treatment of General
Grant by the Allopaths, in which it
says:
General Washington was murdered
by his medical attendants; but at least
they were heroically-too heroically
endeavoring to eXtinguish tho disease.
Their brutality was of the active sort,
and in purpose commendable. though
disastrous in result. General Grant
was maltreated for months under an
error of diagnosis, and at last escaped
beyond the reach of his eminent tor
turers. Here, also, there was much
medical heroism and activity dis
played, albeit misdircctcd. Other IL
lustrous patients have suffered from
cmincnce in tho profession; but Cen
cral Grant seems reserved as a shining
example of cold-blooded expectancy.
To him the little group of cminence
have nothing TO offer but a 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 up-
aided struggle. The fiat 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 Il sourccP Scholarly, re-
lined, cultured, earnest gentlemen as
they are, of what avail are all these
good qualities in the presence of such
therapeutic bankruptcy? On the CON
lrary, while so-callcd scientific mcdi-
cine is TO the fore, well may the daily
papers announce in startling headlines,
"A bad day for General Grant.-Seven
doctors in consultation.
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, in visiting Il hos
pital during the late war, noticed
poor Confederate boy mortally wound
ed. With his native tenderness he
put his arms around his neck in sym.
pathy. 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
well, by any effective means.
His physicians say he can not re-
cover. They fill him with anodyncs
but despite their favorable bulletins
he is daily growing worse.
A specialist who has won reputa.
tion IN the treatment of cancer visits
his bedside. The opposition he ell
counters upon the attending physi-
clans brings painfully to mind the
story of the dog in the mangcr.

die because of this intolerance! Is 1t
