Gen. Grant and the colored nurse Har-
rison had a hard time with the doctors
Yesterday. DR.. Douglas was awakened
at an early hour by a fly crawling with
heavy feet over the window panes, and he
continued restless for some time. Gen.
Grant sat by his side and smoked cigar,
while Harrison gently famed DR.. Sbrady
with a feather AT 1910 a. m. Gen. Grant
issued this bulletins:
"Dr. Shrady coughed twice this morn
ing. This we regard as a had sign. and
have placed him upon feather bed so that
70 be sneezes the shock will he broken.
Dr. Douglas is cheerful. lie ate a tooth
pick for breakfast and intimatpd to Har-
ris0n that he would like TO whistle Sweet
Violets.' He was at once drugged with
morphine"
AT 9:12 o'clock a seedy looking man
dressed in tattered garments, and whose
uncombed hair hung upon his shoulders.
hObbled up to the Grant residence and
leaned YEARLY upon his staff. He told the
cook who came to the basement door that
he had walked all the way from Gnlena to
see DR.. Shrady. He was given hearty
breakfast by the sympathetic cook. Then
he braced up, threw the staff away and
walked swiftly towards Sixth avenue,
saying:
;'That Galena racket is immense. I
will now inform the Tramps' Union of my
success"
Gen. Grant read the newspapers and
smoked several cigars. Harrison looked
alter the physicians and issued this bulIe-
tin upon his own responsibility at II 10
a. M:
DIR. Douglas is less tractable. A win
dow being open in the house across the
street he complained of the drought and
Gen. Grant went over and requested it TO
be closed. DR.. Shrady scratched his head
at lO:4l and exhibits other signs of return
ING health.'
Several letters for the physicians were
received during the day. Most of them
contained suggestiOns for the treatment
OF the doctors, and some leading medical
authorities were heard from. Dr. Tanner
wrote from Cross Roads, Tex, advising Il
diet of pure air and announcing that he
would arrive in town to take "A hand in
the case some time next fall, if his shoes
hold out. DR.. Lands, the eminent TRACE
dian, wrote that eggs were good for SOM
nolency and offered to furnish a few
bushels free Of charge.
A man in PoUghkeepsie sent a package
G Infallible Cancer Cure, which he re-
uested should he administered at once.
arrlson administered it. If the cat re-
pyers it Will be a miracle.
Both doctors woke up at noon and as
nished Gen. Grant by a request to be
ken tor a drive through Central Park.
Win the perversity of a sick man Dr..
. 'uglas insisted upon a team of goats
ling hired for the occasion. He was
asOned out of this idea by Gen. Grant.
\t2:ll p. N. the two doctors were ten
ferly carried down stairs nv Harrison and
Gen. Grant, and lifted into a carriage
which was in waiting. People turned to
look at them as they drove slowly along
the main drive. and small boy irrever-
emily shouted:
"LOok at de skeletons from de dime mu-
scum"
After an hour or two they were con-
Yeyed back. They showed a decided i'm
prOvement in their condition, and the
General remarked that he would pull
them through if it took all summer.
Policeman OFlannagan told a visitor who
called at 4:17 p. m. that Douglas had been
given an "anecdote" and the visitor said
that it served him right.
Things were quiet during the evening,
and except the noise of an ambulance
driving up to carry away an exhausted
reporter nothing of interest transpired.
At midnight Gen. Grant went to bed and
Harrison hung this bulletin out Of the
window with candle behind it:
"The doctors are convalescing. They
are now arguing upon the subject of
"WhO Discovered Pimples?" and DR..
ShradY stood up half a minute unaided.
Drs. Sands and Barker are in perfect ac-
cord with my treatment of this case, and
/ think I'll start out as a horse doctor
whenI get through with it."
