Tho american Homaepatsia has an
ticle on the treatment Of General Gran
blythe AIlopaths, in which It says:
General Washington was murdere,
Iby his medical attendants; but at leas
they were heroically-too heroically en-
deagoring to extinguish the disease. Thei
brutality was Of the active sort, and ii
purpose commemorate, though disastrous
in result. General Garfield was maltreated
for months under an error Of diagnosis
and ct last escaped beyond the reach Of
his eminent torturers. Here, also, there
was much medical heroism and activity
displayed, albeit misdirected. Other Il.
lustrious patients have suffered from emf.
nence in the profession; but General
Grant seems reserved as shining example
Of eold-blooded expectancy. To him the
little group OF eminence have nothing 10
offer but q diagnosis. For him they pro.
pose no relief but in the grave. Ignoring
the only source oftherapeutic salvation,
they gather round his bedside TO observe
his unaided struggle. This fat has gone
forth that nothing can be done; and moth
ing will be permitted TO he 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, earn.
est gentlemen as they are, OF what avail
are all these good qualities in the pres
ence Of such therapeutic bankruptcy On
the contrary, while so-called scientific
medicine is to the fore, well may the daily
papers announce In startling headlines,
"A bad day for General Grant-Seven doc.
tors in consultation"
Yes, the hero of Appomattox Is dying!
Hewho knew no fear in war, knows no
fear In suffering. His quite fortitude
wins universal admiration.
President Lincoln, in visiting hospital
during the late war, noticed poor Con-
fedetate boy, MORALLY 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
sufferer. II would have him get well, by
any elective means.
Hisphysicians say lie can not recover.
They fill him with anodynes but despite
their favorable bulletins he Is daily grow
ing worse.
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 intoleranee Is II posi-.
bic that there is no hope Of cure outside
Of the medical profession?
Prepesterous!
For years medical men insisted that
certain levers were incurabie, but Chinco-
no proved the contrary. For centuries
they have protested that certain renal dis
orders were ihcurable and yet q special
preparation has cured and permanently
cured the very worst cases.
Why may 1t not be possible in like man
ner to cure q case OF cancer? B. +. Larra-
bee, OF Boston, was doomed 10 death by
many eminent Boston physicians. ]. b. |
Henion, NJ. D., of Rochester, N. Y, was
given up by the beat doctors Of all schools. |
Elder j. $. Prescott, OF Cleveland, Ohio,
was grayely informed by them that he
could not live, aud yet these men and |
thousands like them have been cured and
cured permanently, OF serious kidney dis
orders, bya 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"
Gosa, the Boston pugilist, died Of 1t. Hum
dreds OF thousands OF people perish OF It |
every year, while in their DOCTORS hands. |
The cause Of death may be called blood
poisonint, paralysis, heart disease, con-
WILSON'S, apoplexy, pneumonia, or some
other common ailment, but the real dill.
Guilty is in the kidneys. Physicians know
it but they conceal the fact from their |

No.
Why?
1s It not too often the case that many
excellent physicians who are greatly de-
voted to the code, would prefer that their
patients should die rather than that they
should recover health by the use Of any
remedy not recognized under their code ?
