The drrioan H,ngp5athist has an article
on the treatment OF General Grant by the
Allopa,hs, in which il says
General Washington was murdered by
his medical attendants but at least they
were heroically-iOo heroicAlly endeavor-
ing 10 extinguish the disease. Their bru-
,ality was Of the active sort, and in pur-
pose commendabie, though disastrous In
result General Garfield was msltresied
for months under an error Of diagnosis,
and at last escaped beyond the reach Of his
eminent torturers. Here, also, there was
much medical heroism and activity dis
played, albeit misdirected. Other illus,ri- |
Gus patients have suffered from eminence |
in the profession but General Grant seems |
reserved as shining example Of cold |
blooded expectancy. To him the little |
group Of eminence have nothing to offer |
but a diagnosis. For him they propose no
relief but in the grave. Ignoring the only |
source of theraputic salvation, they gath
er around his bedside TO observe the un-
aided struggle. The fat has gone fort b
that nothing can be done and nothing
will be permitted to be done. Those who
question such decision are quacks aud
cranks but who ought not to be proud Of
such designation from such source ?
Scholarly, refined, cultured, earnest gen
tlemen as they are, Of what avail are all
these good qualities in the presence Of such
therapeutic bankruptcy On the contrary,
while so-called scientific medicines is to the
fore, well may the daily papers announce
in startling headlines, A bad day for Gen
eral Grant-Seven doctors in consulta-
ton.

He who knew no fear in war, knows no
fear in suffering. His quiet fortitudc wins
universal admiration.
President Lincoln in visiting a hospital
during the late war, noticed poor Confed-
crate 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 in like
manner bleeds for Grant, the silent suffer
er. 1t would have him get well, by any ef-
fective means.
His physicians say he cannot recover.
They fill him with anodynes but despite
their favorable bulletins he is daily grow.

A specialist who has won reputation in
the treatment of cancer visits his bedside.
The opposition he encounters from the at
tending 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
Preposterous
For years medical men insisted that GER
tain fevers were incurable, but Caineona
proved the contrary For centuries they
have protested that certain renal disorders
were incurable and yet special prepare
