The New York Herald says: eff General
Grant should recover from disease which
should prove not to have been what it has
been described, then his medical attendants
= will be expected to explain the reasons
for one of the most remarkable instances of
discrepancy ever recounted in the history of
medical practice"
The other day an eminent young physician
in the last stages of consumption, unable
longer to talk called for pen and paper and
indistinctly wrote this advice to his physi-
clans: "Make dying comfortable"
This seems to have been the sole purpose
of Gen Grants attending physicians. They
were making dying comfortable, but they
were not curing their patient. He amazes
them by getting better!
The utter failure rightly to diagnose and
properly to treat Gen. Grants disorder was a
serious blunder, emphasizing what has SO
often been said, that professional treatment,
being purely experimental, is just as likely
to be wrong as right.
Had the general an ulcer on his arm the
physicians would have treated it scientifcal-
ly, very scientifically. He might have re-
covered or they might have cut his arm off.
Some dear old soul of grandmother, how
ever might have treated the sore by some
stold woman's remedy and healed it, but
there would have been no professional sci
ence" in such proceeding, her remedy
would not be one recognized by the code!
The generals physicians excuse themselves
we are told because the condition of the
threat was hidden from sight. There are
thousands of where disease is hidden
from sight, where the symptoms very OBJ
scure and conflicting. The physicians will
treat every days symptoms, but they do not
cure and finally the patient dies. Then they
discover they have made a mistake! A hor-
rible mistakel The other day prominent
merchant in a neighboring city was found
dead in bed. A post-mortem examination
revealed the fact that one of his vital organs
was entirely decayed, and yet his physicians
had been treating him for heart disease!
Some one has Numbered.
For weeks the American public have been
waiting the unwelcome tidings of General
Grants death To-day the general is up and
| around and riding out.
People get well often in spite of what their
doctors say and do. Whya By will power?
No. By faith? No.
They live because outside the medical pre-
fession and medical pretense there are effec-
tive remedial agencies of nature which,
though "unrecognized' by the code, have
supreme power over the disease, and in thou
sands of cases win triumphs where the SO
called scientific treatment utterly fails.
A prominent ex- cabinet officer is to day on
the very edge of the grave, suffering from an
extreme disorder Of the liver. His doctors
| know they cannot cure him. They simply
are making dying cOmIOrIaDle.
The agony of death in many cases is read
| by surrounding friends in screams of pain, in
commissions of nerve. in spasms of torture
| the fixed eye the chilly breath, and dread
full coughing, the bloody sweat-the supreme
| infections of pitiless disease upon helpless
| body,-indieate the limitations of profession
al skill
Seven-tenths of the deaths of this country
every year from hepatic and renal dis
| orders, over which physicians have so little
power. They will give this, that and the
other thing to make dying comfortable, but
| they know they cannot cure and yet they will
not permit the use of remedies "unauthor-
| ized'by their code, whether they are allopath-
| ic or homeopathic. If the system, is COM
mon at this time of the year, has no tone,
| and one has tired and depressed feelings, the
doctor will tell you that the blood needs pur-
| flying, but he will not tell you, what he
knows to be true, that the blood is impure
because the liver and kidneys are not per-
| forming their blood purifying functions.
| The failure of the physicians in General
| Grants case ought to have eye-opening
| effect upon the public. It ought to see the
| futility of trusting entirely in profess
/ sion whose practice is so largely experiment
| tai The test of merit is success and when
IN agency has won record proved by the tes-
| timony of prominent men and women in all
| ranks of society, it stands to reason that such

not used it, Who can gainsay the state
ment that it has wrought greater benefit for
mankind than anything ever discovered in
side the ranks of the medical professions And

they prescribe the use of Warmers Safe Cure.
| Nevertheless, spite of their small-minded
bigotry, it multiplies instances of its singu-
lar merit by thousands every day, rests sat
isfed with the record it has won, and chal-
| lenges comparison with the record of the
most reputable physician.
1t is terrible thing to lose our friends,
especially if we find out afterwards that they
| might have been saved.
We are glad General Grant is getting well
He deserves to live and in living he will en-
phasize the fact that physicians do not have
| a monopoly over disease;that scientific medi-
dine" SO called, is not infallible; that al
remedial agencies were not born with doctors
and will not die with them.
