MIsCELLAN EoUS.
GENERAL GRANT.
How Near His Personal Memoirs
Came to be Lost.

A Valuable History Written by Dying
Man. Proper Nourishment Enabled
the Author to Live Until the Compile
ton of His Book.
The fortitude shown by General Grant
in writing the second volume of his per-
sonal memoirs while he was literally on
his deathbed, excels even the remarkable
courage exhibited by this famous soldier
in his many achievements on the field of
battle.
Col. Fred Grant, speaking of his fathers
last illness, says:-
"During the last four months of his
sickness, the principal food of my father,
Gen. Grant, was Bovinine and milk; and
it was the use of this Incompatible food
alone that enabled him to finish the second
volume of his personal memoirs.
DIR. 7. H. Douglas, Gen. Grants physi-
clan and friend, cordially Endorsed the
above statement.
What Bovinine did for Gen. Grant it
has done, and is now doing, for thousands
every day. 1t is the most wonderful con-
centration into a small bulk of all the
life-giving, muscle, flesh, and blood-mak-
ing elements of lean, raw meat ever pro-
duced.
1t is in no way a medicine, simply a
food invigorant, that by its strengthening
qualities gives the worn-out or dlsordered
vital centres of the body an impetus that
again starts them performing their natu-
raj functions.
1t is Endorsed by eminent physicians
everywhere. and blessed by thousands
whose lives it has actually saved.
To neglect to use this wonderful food
in all cases of debility, wasting diseases,
overwork, stomach and nerve diseases, or
for weak infants, chronic invalids, loss of
vitality in old age, is to throw away one
of the greatest chances Of saving life.
