the Old Hero Dying kSeCauSe OF
Medical IntOlerancea
The American homeopathic has an ar
ticle on the treatment of General Grant by
the a1liopaths, in which it says:
General Washington was murdered by
his medical attendants; but ut least they
were heroically-too heroieally endeavoring
to extinguish the disease. Their brutality
was of the active sort and in purpose com
mendable, though disastrous in result. Gen
eral Garfield was maltreated for months
under an error of diagnosis and at last es-
capped beyond the reach of his eminent tor
turers Here, also, there was much medical
heroism and activity displayed, albeit mis-
directed Other illustrious patients have
suffered from eminence in the profession; but
General Grant seems reserved as shining ex-
ample of cold-blooded expectancy. To him the
little group of eminence have nothing to Of
fer 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 I'M
aided struggle. The fat has gone forth that
nothing can be done; and nothing will be
permitted to be done. Those who question
such a decision are quacks and cranks; but
who ought not to be proud Of such desig
fined cultured, earnest gentlemen as they
are, of what avail are all these good qualities
in the presence of such therapeutic bank
ruptcy? On the contrary, while so-called
scientific medicine is to the fore, well may
the daily papers announce in startling head
lines, ga 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 fortitude wins uni
versal admiration.
President Lincoln, in visiting hospital
during the late war, noticed a poor Confede-
rate boy mortally wounded. With his native
tenderness he put his arms around his neck
in sympathy. The sight melted the hospital
10 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 cannot recover. They
fill him with anodynes, but despite their IA
vorable bulletins he is daily growing worse.
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 sto-
ry of the dog in the manager.
And General Grant, perhaps, must die be-
cause of this intolerance! Is it possible that
there is no hope of cure outside of the medi-
cal profession?
For years the medical men insisted that
certain fevers were incurable, but Chincona
proved the contrary. For centuries they
have protested that certain renal disorders
were incurable, and yet special preparation
has cured, and permanently cured, the very
worst cases.
Why may it not be possible in like manner
to cure case of cancer? B. F. Larrabee, of
Boston, was doomed to death by many emil
nent Boston physicians. j. B. Henion, M.
D., of Rochester, N. Y. was given up by the
best doctors of all schools. Elder J. S. Pres
ed by them that he could not live, and yet
these men and thousands like them have
been cured, and cured permanently, of seri-
GUS kidney disorders by remedy not official.

What has been done may be done again.
General Arson Stager died of Bright's
disease in Chicago last week. "Joe"
Goss, the Boston pugilist, died of it. Hun
dreds of thousands of people perish of
it every year while in their doctors
hands. The cause of death may be called blood
poisoning, paralysis, heart disease, convul-
sions, apoplexy, pneumonia, or some other
common ailment, but the real difficulty is in
the kidneys. Physicians know it, but they
conceal the fact from their patients, realizing
their inability to cure by any authorized"
means. The remedy that cured Larrabee

record entities it to recognition, and it gets
it from intelligent people. Its manufactur-
ers have an unsullied reputation and. are en-
titled to as great consideration as aEy school

Professor R. A. Gum, NJ D., dean of the
United States Medical college of New York
city, rises above professional prejudice and
on it's personally proved merits alone gives it
several pages of the warmest commentator
in his published works-the only instance on
record of high professional endorsement of
such preparation.
The unprecedented people do not want Cen
eral Grant to die. If there is in all nature or
anywhere in the world a remedy man
able to cure his cancer, give them a chance.
Will they do its
No.
Why?
Is it not too often the case that many excel
lent physicians who are greatly devoted to
the code would prefer that their patients
should die rather thar that they should re-
cover health by the use of any remedy not
recognized under their codea
