Shrady has prepared an article, which appears in the Medical Record of Satur. day. Itis entitled, “The Surgical and Patho- logical Aspects ot General Gragt’s Case.” Dr. Shrady begins by stating: “No case has excited a greater interest from a medical point of view than that of General Grant. Aside trom the disease attacking @ pa- tient so widely known and so universally be- loved, ft has shown some features which are of surgical as well as of pathological signifi- ee ticle Dr. Shrady says he article Dr. § rs: The necration of the dough, was, ansiously awaited, 4 ress TO- and when it occurred the patient, as was expected, became much relieved of many of his nore distressing local symptoms and of mndition. ‘Then it was ane unced by the press that because the gene had tallied the ‘puysicians had erred. in diag- nosing the ease, and, consequently, the patient chances of recovery. were kod. Much as this happy result was to be hoped jor, the stubborn fact of the existence of the original disease and its steady progress toward an inevitably fatal issue was painfully apparent to the gentle- men watching the case. The return of the pa- tient’s strength was not a surprise to his physi- cians. It was what they aimed to bring about by the treatmentempioyed. The general ex- haustion, which was in @ great measure inde- pendent of the caucer, was at this time most feared, and the treatment of that condition was naturally of the first importance. But the gratltying change for the better was believed to be simply of a temporary ehar- acter. Death, directly or indirectly, due to the extension of the throat disease, was'a question of 4 few months at most. ‘The surfaces of the throat covered by the’ inflammatory deposit presented a clean appearance afler the deposit Was separated, but the primary cancerous ul- ceratious of ‘the palate and tongue never changed for the better. The original disease was always there; slowly but surely progress- ing, resisting every treatment, delying every hope for cure, and grimly Inviting vitae bie Issue.’ ‘THE TREATMENT SUMMARIZED. Dr. Shrady closes his long article as follows: “A briet summary of the treatment is all that It will be necessary togive now. Early in the disease, in order to eliminate every possible chance of error in diagnosis, the patient was placed under specific treatinent, although the Clinical history of the case gave only negative indications for its necessity. ‘This treatment, although continued for a sufficient period, pro- duced no effect in bealing the ulcerations, or in arresting the progress of the disease. Iodoform was used as alocal application to the ulcer, as well as gargles composed of salt and water, diluted carbolic acid, solutions of permanga- nate of potash and yeast. A four percent so- Intion of cocaine was occasionally applied to the painful parts with happy results, but it was never employed to any such excess as is gen- erally believed by the pubiic, nor were there any bad effects manifested from its administra- tion at any time. The latter were carefully guarded against with the full knowledge that the drug was a new one, and that only its cau- tious use was admissible. Red clover was given quite constantly, but produced no effect whatsoever upon the local disease. It only Proved itself useful as alaxative aud was so employed, as being the least harmful of med- icines of its sort for continuous administration. “His food consisted of beet extract, milk, eggs and farinaceous materials, always in liquid form. In all detail matters bearing upon his food, such appetite as he would occasionally manifest was the guide forany change. The rule was to deny bim nothing he might crave. During the last two days of his life he began to fail very perceptibly. On the evening of July 22 he signified his wish to be transferred toa bed. This was the first time he had left his easy ehair for purposes of rest or sleep since early in March. Dr. Sands and myself, who had been previously summoned, at the final his depressed bodily consultation, agreed with Dr. Douglas that the | end was near, and that nothing more was to be done than to ‘make the patient as comfortable as possible. The general had then lost his ability to swallow, his pulse was 120 per min- ute and feeble and this respirations 25 per min- ute and shallow. His consciousness gradually left him at midnight. Continuing to sink, he died without a struggle at 8:08 a. m. Thursday, July 23, 1885. THE CANCER DUE TO SMOKING. “The cause of the disease In this case is largely conjectural. Epithelioma, as a rule, starts from local irritation, and, unlike other forms of eancer, is not dependent upon hereditary pre- disposition to the disease. There must, how- ever, aside from this, be @ latent tendency | toward cancerous troubles, which Is more pro- nounced In some individuals than in others, otherwise we should be unable to explain why simple and continued {irritation would induce the disease in one case and not in another. It is, however, quite probable that the irritation of smoking wus the active cause of the cancer ia Gen. Grant's case, or, at least, it is fair to pre- sume that he would not have had the disease if this habit had not been carried to excess. This assumption is made in the face of the fact that Of the thousands who smoke but very small proportion suffer from the disease. "Rs" tar ean be estimated, the cancer com- menced only nine months before death. For- tunately the breathing was ver pale the involvement of the parts aFound the wind- pipe, nor was thelr any impediment toswal- Tooting by the extension of the growth to the gesophagus. Both of these conditions might have obtained, had the tient lived long enough to give'an opportunity for the local dis ease to gain sufficient head way. The cancer pre- sented an unusual feature in first Invading the side of the throat rathefthan that of the tongue, as the latter {s most frequently the original seat of this disease. The ay arance in the throat of a sloughing process during the regu- lar progress of the cancer was a circumstance worthy of note, and explained much of the ex- haustion of the patient during one of his eritieal periods. If it had not been for this accidental complication the epithelloma would have taken its usual course, and the public would not have mistaken the extension of the inflam- matory process for shat of the cancer, and would not have been ready to believe that ihe original disease was disappearing when the sloughy de- posit was discharged. The patient at the time was better of the complication, but not of the cancer. The latter never changed but for the worse. ABSENCE OF PAIN. “The oceurrence of hemorrhage from the ero- sion of the walls of the larger vessels in the neighborhood was believed to be eventually possible, but was at no time seriously feared, as nature had thrown out her safeguards in the shape of dense deposits around the branches of the carotid artery and jugular veins. “Although there was more or less constant in of a gnawing character the patient was Rappity that agony of suffering whtich is often associated with the invasion of the dee} parts of the tongue by cancerous disease.

From the Boston Herald, It will be remembered that a week or tendays ago an elephant named Albert developed an ugly and pugnacious disposition at Keene, N.

M., the Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Siar, writes to that paper as fok lows: WaAsHINGTon, July 24.—Probably in no com- munity in the country is the death of General Grant so keenly felt as here ‘n Washington. AS general of the army, Secretary of War ad inte- rim, and President he had a residence here of nearly twelve years, Being a man plain and simple in his habits, he went about the city just as if he were an ordinary citizen, expecting no different treatment than that given the humblest among his neighbors, These matter of fact ways of bis gave. every- body in the community an opportunity to see him often as be strolied the thoroughfares— appeared on the road beliind a favorite trotter— at church; or the theater, or at any gathering of the neople for amusement or business concern- ing the clty or country. In. this way we all got to know him and to jike him, and to feel that he was a part of us, no matter how far from us he was located. We could not help feeling that is absence was but temporary, and that his kindly face would again be seen On our avenues and tn our public places as oiten as it had been during his twelve years of continuous residence here. Hence it is that his death affects this community most acutely. Sometimes I cannot help making myself feel that the people here, although they had great Fespect and reverence for the general, did not begin to fully appreciate him and what he had doue for them until he had retired from power and bad left them. Tt was Gen. Grant as Presi- dent who discovered the genius and ability of Alexander R. Shepherd and gave this gentle- man the official position and power to make this city what it 1s to-day, the prettlest and best equipped of any city in the world. Shep- herd was fought with desperation at every turn, but Grant stood by. him and upheld him, and it was only when Grant retired from the presidency that Sb herd was forced to the wall. Shepherd bankrupted hiinself in his efforts to complete his plans for the improvement of the city,and bas been in comparatty exile among the mines of Mexico for the last five years, He had not been gone long: when the citizens who fought him found out their mistake, and now it is proposed on his re- turn to receive him with the grandest of ova- tions and to make him the guest of the city, It was Gen. Grant, as President, who first made a point of alluding to the want: of the District of Columbia in’ his anntal messages to Con- gress, and it was owing to these con- s_ that appropriations of many millions were made by Congress for the erection of additional public buildings here he construction of a most extensive sewage system; the securing of an additional water supply; the extension and_ improvement of the many public parks that dot the city, and the opening and paving of the numerous broad avenues that now help to make the town a place most beautiful. this js not the only not fally app fe the General when he was ina position to aid them. But that is all over now. it was human nature and history repeat- ing itself. He is gone now, and probably no Pate of our people mourn ‘mypre sinc him than do those who opposed him was In power. I first met Gen. Grant when I came to this elty ag a newspaper correspondent in the sum- mer of 1866, and many months had not rolled by when Thad the proud n and the distinguished honor of having the right to feel and say that I was on the list of the seneral’s friends.

Oh, no. your troops ready, and if there ¥ discussion of the sub: Ject we can do it on the day aiter the election.” I think those two incidents are good illustra- tions of force of character of the man, con 0 Grant's Decision of Character. From the Ph‘ladelphia Ledger, July 26th. Grant as a boy and young man was like most Young fellows, differing from them in but few things. The great points in his character began to show at the time when he undertook the js, Will the Executive enfor discharge of important public duties, From that period he exhibited that decision of char- acter which has ever sinee been so conspicuous in his mental make up and which was one of his most valuable traits. He rarely doubted or showed any sign of hesitation about whatcourse to take when ‘action was necessary. It is not given to all men to sce the way at Important and critical moments as clearly as he did, and to decide on sight as_ truly what was the right thing to doat the moment. But it is within reach of every man, who ts a competent free agent, toavoid that “indecision” which 18 so great a hinderer in the conduct of this world’s affairs. This weakness Grant never seemed to know. Having the quality of decision, he was a man of action; a man who did things Tather than one D talked about doing them. Without intending to — substitute the act for the word, in telling what he intended to do, still that was the effect of his modes of thought and action. He was an ex- gmplar and @ personification of what the word duty means. From the day when he went into the fleld as an officer having charge of other men, und having responsibilities of his own, his first and last thought was todo his duty, faithfully, as duty should always be done. if he was ordered todoa duty he obeyed promptly, wo .is best understanding and ability, without questioning the authority that had the right to command him, and uncomplatning ax to any personal discomfort or sacrifice.

James Longstreet, a8 soon as he recovered from his emotion on being informed of the deathof Gen. Grant, “A man of unbounded confidence in human nature, with the greatest sense of mod- esty, and utterly withous guile, the one great American of the present age who will live in history as typifying the best elements of man- hood. As passion cools and prejudice clears away, and politicians are relegated toobscurity, then the figure of Grant will stand out in bold Fejlet, serond only to that of Wash ” en.

When your correspondent found him he was examin- ing his grapevines, and looked for the world like the good old countryman who never looked upon a fleld of carnage.” Passing his hand over his forehead, as if In painful meditation, he mude use of the words with which this chapter was opened. THE EARLY DAYS AT WEST POINT, “I well remember the delleate and fragile form of the boy who, in 1839, answered to the roll-call when the name of Grant was repeated. We were a boisterous set who filled the classes that year, and my physique and exuberance of spirit led'me to be among the leaders of every ort and diversion.
