GENERAL GRANT.

GENERAL GRANT.
Il the Old Hero Dying Because Of Medical
Intolerance
The American Homeopa,hist 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-.oo heroically endeavoripg to ex-
tinguish the disease. Their brutality was OF
the active sort, and in purpose commendable,
though disastrous in result. General Garfield
was msltrested for months under an error of
diagnosis, and at last escaped beyond the
reach OF bis eminent torturers. Here, also.
there was much medical heroism and activity
displayed, albeit, misdirected. Other illue-
trioss patients have suffered from eminence
in the profession; but General Grant seems
reserved as q shining example of cold
blooded expectancy. To him the little group
of eminence hav nothing to offer but
a diagn, sis. 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 unaided 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 a designation from such a
source? Scholarly, refined, cultured. earnest
gentlemen 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 medicine is 70 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 Appomatto1 is dying!
He who knew no fear in war, knows no
fear in suffering. His quiet fortitude wins
universal admiration.
Presiden. Lincoln, in visiting a hospital
during the late war, noticed poor Confeder-
ate boy, mortsIly 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 suffered
1t would have him get we'll, by any effective
means.
His physicians cay he can not recover.
They fill him with anodynes, but despite their
favorable bulletins, heis 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 story
Of the dog in the manger.
And General Grant. perhaps, must die be-
cause OF this intolerance! Is it possible that
there is no hope of cure outside of the med
ical profession?
Preposterous!
For years medical men insisted that certain
fevers were incurable, but Chincond proved
the contrary. For centuries they have pre-
tested that certain renal disorders were incur
able, and yet a special preparation has cured
and permanently cured the very worst cases.
Why may it not be possible in like man
ner to cu'e a case OF cancer? B. F. LARA
bee, OF Boston, was doomed to death by many
eminent Boston physicisns. J. B. HeDion,
n. D., OF Rochester, N. Y, was given up by
the best doctors OF all schools. Elder
J. S. Prescott, of Cleveland, Ohio, was grave
ly informed by them that he could not live,
and yet these men and thousands like them
haze been cured and cured permanently Of
serious kidney disorders, by a remedy not
officially known to the code.
What has been done may be done again.
General Anson Stager died Of Bright's
disease in Chicago last week. "Joe" Goss,
the Boston pugilist, died Of it. Hundreds of
thousands Of people perish OF it every year,
while in their doctors hands. The cause of
death may be called blood poisoning, paraly-
sis, heart disease, convulsions, 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 "autborized' means. The rene
dy that cured Larrabee aud Henion and Pres
colt ii. e., Warmers safe cure) is a special,
Independent discovery. lis record entities il
to recognition, aud it gets it from intelligent
people. LIS manufacturers have an unsuilied
reputation and are entitled to as great consid-
GRAFTON as any school of physicians.
Prot. R. A. Gum, NJ. D., Dean Of the
United States Medical College OF New York
City, rises above professional prejudice and
on its personally proved merits alone gives it
several pages of the wsrmest commendaton
in his pubnshed works-the only instance on
record of high professional endorsement of
such preparation.
The unprejudiced people do not want Gen.
eral Grant to die. II there ls in all nature or
anywhere in the world . remedy or a man
able to cure his cancer, give them q chance.
Will they do it?
No.
Why?
Is it not too often the case that many excel
lent ply ysicians who are greatly devoted to
the code, would prefer that their patients
should die rather than that they should re-
cover health BY the use OF any remedy not
under their code?
Mr.. A. N. Burbank will give fine concert |
