GENERAL GRANT.
Is the Old Hero Dying Because of Medical
Intolerance?


Intolerance?
The american Homgopathist has an ar
ticle 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-too heroically en-
deayoring to extinguish the disease.
Their brutality was OF the active sort,
and in purpose commendable, though dis
astrouS in result. General Garfield was
maltreated for months under au error OF
diagnosis, and at last escaped beyond the
reach of his eminent torturers. Here,
also, there was much medical heroism
and activity displayed, albeit misdirect-
ed. Other illustrious patients have suffer-
ed from eminence in the profession; but
General Grant seems reserved as shin
ing example of cold blooded expectancy.
To him the little group of eminence have
nothing to offer but diagnosis. For
him they propose no relief but in the
grave. Ignoring the only source OF Their
apeutic salvation, they gather round his
bedside to observe his unaided struggle.
The fiat has gone forth that nothing can
to be done. Those who question such
decision are quacks and cranks; but who
ought not to be proud of such designa-
ton from such source? Scholarly, re-
fined, cultured, earnest gentlemen as they
are, of what avail are all these good
qualities in the presence of such thera-
peutic bankruptcy? On the contrary,
while so called scientific medicine is to
the fore, we'll may the daily papers an
nounce in startling headlines, "A bad day
for General Grant-Seven doctors III con-
sultation.
Yes, the hero of Appomattox is dying!
He who knew no fear in war, knows no
fear i'll suffering. His quiet fortitude
wins universal admiration.
President Lincoln in visiting hospital
during the late war. noticed poor Con-
federate 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
sufferer. 1t would have him get well, by
any effective means.
| His physicians say he can not recover.
| They ill 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
attending physicians brings painfully to
mind the story of the dog in the manger.
And General Grant, perhaps, must die
because of his intolerance Is it possible
that there is no hope of cure outside Of
the medical profession
Preposterous
For years medical men insisted that
certain fevers were incurable, but CHM
coma proved the contrary. For centuries
they have protested that certain renal
disorders were incurable and yet special
prep ,ration 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 eminent Boston phys-
clans. J. B. IIenion, NJ. D., of Roches-
ter, N. V, was given up by the best doc
tors of all schools. Elder J. S. Prescott,
of Cleveland Ohio, was gravely inform
ed by them that he could not live, and
yet these men, and thousands like them,
have been cured and cured permanently,
of serious kidney disorders, by remedy
not officially known to the code.
What has been done may be done again
General Arson Stager died of Bright's
disease in Chicago last week. Joe
Goss, the Boston pugi!ist, 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, paralysis, heart disease,
commissions, apoplexy, pneumonia, or
some other common ailment, but the real
know it but they conceal the fact from
their patients, realizing their inability to
cure by any "auth orized' means. The
remedy that cured Larrabee and IIenion
and Prescott ii. e., Warmers safe cure)
is special, independent discovery. Its
record entities it to recognition, and it
gets it from intelligent people. Its man
ufacturers have an unsullied reputation
and are entitled to as great consideration
as any school of physicians.
Professor 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
warmest commentator in his published
works-the only instance on record of a
high professional endorsement of such a
preparation.
The unprecedented people do not want
| General Grant to die. IT there is in all
! u
edy or man able to cure his cancer,
give them chance.
Will lhey do it?
No.
Why?
| Is 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 usa of any
remedy not recognized under their code?
