F STREET NORTHWEST GENERAL GRANT. Is the Old Hero Dying Beeause of Medi- eal Intolerance. ‘The American Homeopathist has an article on the treatment of General Grant by the Allopaths, in which it says: : “General Washington was murdered by bis medical attend ants; but at least they were berolcally—too he- rolcally endeavoring to extinguish the disease, Their brutality was of the active sort, and in purpose Com- mendable, though disastrous in result, General Gar, leld was maltreated for months under an error of lagnosis, and at last escaped beyond the reach of his eminent torturers, Here, also, there was much medi- cal herolmin and activity displayed, albelt misdirected. Other Mlustrious patients have suffered from em! nence in the profession: but General Grant seems re- served as @ shining example of cold-blooded expec- tancy. To him tho ltue group of eminence have nothing to offer but a diagnosis. For him they pro- pose no relief but In the grave. Ignoring the only ‘source of therapeutic salvation, they gather round his bedside to observe his unaided struggle, The fiat has gone forth that nothing can be done; and nothing will be permitted to be done, Those who question such a decision are quacks and cranks; but who ought not to be proud ofsuch adesignation from such a source? Scholarly, refined, cultared, earnest gentlemen 98 they are, of what avail are all these good qualities 10 ‘the presence of such therapeutic bankruptcy? On the contrary, while so-called scientific medicine teto the fore, well may the daily papers announce in startling headlines, "A bad day for General Grant—Seven doc. tors tn consuitation.’* ‘Yes, the hero of Appomattox is dying! He who knew no fear in war, knows no fear in saffering. His quiet fortitude wins untvereal admire tlon, President Lincoln, tn visiting hospital during the late war, notleed @ poor Confederate boy, mortally ‘wounded. With his native tenderness he put his arms around bis 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. It wonld have him get well, by any effective means. His physicians say he cannot recover. ‘They fill ‘him with anodynes, but despite their favorable bul- letins he is daily growing worse. A specialist who has wou reputation in the treat- ment of cancer visits his bedside. ‘The'opposition he encounters from the attending physicians brings pain- fully to mind the story of the dog in the manger. And General Grant, perhaps, must die because of this intolerance! Is it possible that there is no hope of care outside of the medical profession? Preposterous! For years medical men ineisted that certain fevers were incurable, but Chincona proved the contrary. For centuries they have protested that certain renal disorders were incurable, and yet aspecial preparation has cured, aud permanently cured, the very worst cases, ‘Why may {t not be possible in like manner to cure a cave of cancer? B. F. Larrabee. of Boston, was doomed todeath by many eminent Boston physician J. B. Henlon, M. D., ot Rochester, N. ¥., was given up by the best doctors of all schools, Elder J.8, Prescott, of Cleveland, Ohio, was gravely informed by them that he could not live, and yet these men and thousands lie thei 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 Anson Stager died of Bright's disease in Chi- cago last week. “Joe” Goss, the Boston pugilist, died of lt, Hundreds of thousands of people perish of it every year, while in thelr doctor's hands. ‘The cause of death may be called blood poisoning, paralysis, heart disease, convulsions, apoplexy, pneumonis, or fome other common ailment, but the real difficulty is inthe kidneys Physicians know it, but they conceal the fact from thelr patients, realizing thelr inability to [cure by any “authorized” means. ‘The remedy that cared Larrabee and Henion and Prescott (1. e., War- ner'a safe cure) !s a special, independent discovery Its record entitles It to recognition, and it gets {t from in- telligent people. Its manufseturers have an unsullied reputation and are entitled to as great consideration as any school of physicians. Professor R. A. Gunn, M.D., Dean of the United States Medical College of New York City, rises above professional prejudice and on tts personally proved merits alone gives it several pages of the warmest commendation ,in his published works—the only in- stance on record of a high professional endorsement of such a preparation. ‘The unprejudiced people do not want General Grant todie. If there isin all nature or anywhere in the world a remedy or a man able to cure his cancer, give them a chante. ‘Will they do No. ‘Why? Is it not too often the case that many excellent phy- siclans who are greatly devoted to tha code, would prefer that their patients should die rather than that they should recover health by the use of any remedy not recognized under thelr code it EE n Ex i KK.
