GENERAL GRANT.
Im the Old Hero Dying Because of
Sledlcal Intolerance!
The American Homoeopath 1st has an
article on the treatment of General
Grant by the Allopaths, in which it
says: .
" General Washington was murdered
by his medical attendants; but atleast
they were heroically too heroically
endeavoring to extinguish the disease.
Their brutality was of the active sort,
and in purpose commendable, though
disastrous in result. General Garfield
wa maltreated for months under an
error of diagnosis, and at last eseaed
beyond the reach of his eminent tor
turers. Here, also, there was much
- medical heroism and activity displayed,
albeit misdirected. Other illustrious
patients have suffered from eminence
in the profession ; but General Grant
seems reserved as a shining example of
the cold-blooded expectancy. To him
the little group of eminence have
nnthintr to offer but a diagnosis. For
:
him thev propose 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
le permitted to be done. Those who
question such a decision are quacks
and cranks; but who ought not to lie
proud of such a designation from such
a source? Scholarly, refined, cultured,
earnest gentlemen as they are, of what
avail are all these good qualities in
presence of such therapeutic "bank
ruptcy? On the contrary, while so
. called scientific medicine is to the fore,
well may the daily papers announce in
startling headlines, 4 A Bad Day for
General Grant Seven Doctors in Con
sultation.'" Yes,th-hero of Appomattox is dying!
He who knt'w no fear in war, knows
no fear in suffering. His quiet forti
tude win3 universal admiration.
President Lincoln, in visiting a hos
pital during the late war,noticed a poor
Confederate 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
s fferer. It would have him get well,
by any effective means.
His physicians say he cannot recover.
They fill him with anodynes, but de
s. ite their favorable bulletins he is
daily growing worse. ;
A specialist who has won reputation
in the treatment of cancer visits his
bedside. The opposition he encoun
ters from the attending physicians
brings painfully to mind the story of j
the dog in the manger.
And General Grant perhaps must
die because of this int le ranee! 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
Chineoria proved the contrary. For
centuries they have protected that cer
tain renal disorders were incurable and
yet a special preparation has cured am:
permanently cured the very worstes
Why may it not be possible in like
manner to cure a case of cancer? B.r

thernthat lie could not live, and yet
these men and thousands like them
have been cured and cured pcrma
nentlv of serious kidnev disorders bv a

What has Wen done mav be. done

Hundreds of thousands ot people per

be called blood poisoning, paralysis

pneumonia, or sume other commoi
ailment, but th rral difficulty is in the
kidneys. Phjsinansknow it, but they
4 conceal the fn-t from their patient
realizing their inability to cure by any
"authorized' means. The remedy that
cured Lara bee and Henion and Prescott
(i. e., Warner's safe cure) is a specia
independent discovery. Its record en
titles it to recognition, and it gets it
from intellisrent people. Its manufac
turers have an unsullied reputation am;
are entitled to as great consideration as
any school of physicians.
Professor R. A. Gunn, M. D., Dean o
the United States Medical College of
New York Citv, rises above profes
sional prejudice, and on its personally
proved merits alone gives it severa
pages of the warmest commendation in
his published works the only instance
on record of a hijrh professional in
dorsement of such a' preparation.
The u n prejudiced people do not
want General Grant to die. If there i
in all nature or any where in the world
ra remedy or a man able to cure his
cancer give them a chance."
Will thev do it ?
No.
Why?,
It is not too often the cae that many
excellent physicians who are greatly de
voted to tlfe code, would prefer that their
patients should die rather than that
they should recover health by the Use
of any remedy not recognized under
their code ? .

DOMESTIC -UN HAPPINESS. ?"
The Ob Great Cause of ,MIery la the
Household. .
When domestic unhappiness exists in
a family it generally happens"' that the
casa may be traced to money matters and
!c the unequal division toflho common
fwads Frobably eight women out of
ten who are married and have no other
visible means of support: than a hna
band are dependent upon that husband's
generosity for .every.' fire, . cents they
have to spend. The ideaof a husband
being generous to his wife is qnite as
absurd as it would bo for any other busi
ness partner to be generous to his associ
ate. A widower with a house full of chil
dren has to pay a good round sum to
some housekeeper for attending to the
same duties his wife performed for. her
board, lodging and. -clothes. He does
not grumble when 4 the housekeeper
conies for her salaryvnor ask her what
sbe did with all- thg money he gave her
last month, nor inquire in'au aggrieved
tone of voice if thirty dollars won't do
instead of forty dollars. No, she has.
earned her money, he respects her right
!o it, and he pays, her like a man. When
his wife was housekeeper he paid her
like a husband. It is true he. gave her
liberal credits at dry-goods shops, mill
iners and dress-makers. These privi
leges constituted his ideas of feminine
bliss. What need had she of money?
Such a thing as giving her, or rather rff
sharing with her a portion of the prod
uct "of his labors as one of the domestic,
firm never occurred to him. He was quite
willing to trust heir to keep the honor
of his' home and naine,' to raise his chil
dren ;'but a donbt as to her business in
capacity never crossed his mind. That
she would foolishly waste money if she
could get hold of it was his foregone
conclusion, although for year she had
managed his home, and with unexam-.
pled economy ho is now able to appre
ciate since she is dead. It is not an un-.
common thing for a woman to have to
worry her husband for ten cents for car
faro to take her to church. When you
see a woman carry her "pocket mon
ey," a dime or so, tucked in the palm
of her glove, you may conclude, sho Iwta
a husband of .this description. For a
proud-spirited, naturally independent
woman to have to beg, bargain: 1 and
bnggle'for a fofTYlollara from her hus
band is one. of the most degrading mis
fortunes that can befall her. It is true
some women do not mind begging for
money or the "having to explain in elab
orate detail the why ' and wherefore of
the demand; and other women look at
the partnership business in still broader
view, and" do not hesitate to apply for
that which is so manifestly their due,
but opp'osed.to these there is a . large
majority -of wives to whom it is' an
eternal mortification to ask, day after
day, year after year, for money from
their own" husbands"." 'A friend of mine
who has been married forty years has
to hurry every morning after her hus
Laml sis he leaves the dining-room to
try and get- from him money for the
dinner's marketing. This "has been
going on during all these years,
and if by any chance she should
fail to run "after him, he would

not leave a cent It often takes the
greatest tact; courage, 'patience and
gentleness to coax from him sufficient
money to buy for herself or her children

decency and civilization.: Al is notpos
sible that a woman, however forgiving,
can feel altogether unresentful toward
such -a man. -Down in her lonely heart
of hearts she feels the indignity put
upon her. Jt o all very well to argue
that if a woman has credit it the stores
and can buy clothes, shoes, hats,
wraps she has no need for money.
Those who argue this should just try a

woman who, if she wants to spend fifty
cents on herself, has to run to her hus

courage to demand, at the beginning of
her married life, a weekly or monthly
allowance of money which shall be
proportionate to her. husband's income,
may be saving herself from a life-long

THE HOT-WATER CURE.
Rules for Administration The Effects of
the Treatment and the Points In Its
.. favor.
It may seem a startling assprr'on, but
it is nevertheless a fact, that more per
sons are to-day taking hot water for
various ailments than any sinjrle drug
in our pharmacopoeia. The spread in
the belief in the medicinal value of hot
water has traveled chiefly by word of
mouth. To apply hot water medicinal
ly coul 1 not . have become so universal
a custom unless great benefit had been
Lc itowed by it upon many.
' It was first employed in 18-38, accord
ing to Dr. Cutter, by Dr. J. II. Salis
bury, who made use of it in a series of
experiments undertaken upon animals
and men, with the reference to the ef
fects of food upon the animal econo-
my as a cause and cure of disease. The
experiments were commented upon by
the London Lan-cl&3 a "valuable Amer
ican contribution to medicine,"accord
:ng to Dr. Cutter. ..
i'hs benefits and results from the, in
ternal use of hot, water must b3 due, in
part, at leat, if not wholly, to heat,
said Dr. Ambrose I Ilanney in a recent
lecture b3foro the Academy of Medi
cine in this citv. Some of its effects are
manifested almost immediately in or
gans not connected directly with the
digestive apparatus. , "
1 he water may be taken in uoses 01
from one goblet to one and a hfslf. An
ordinary goblet, contains about, ten
ounces. The dose must be modified in
accordance with its eflects.
It must be drunk ' hot, "and not warm
(110 to 160 degress). If necessary, fif-
tecu minutes or more may be con
sumed iu sipping agobletfuL Wooden

quickly. The water may be flavored
with lemon," sugar." salt, ginger," etc, if
necessary, but it becomes verv agree-
ab'e to the palate without such after the
patient has taken it for a short time.
J he dose must 03 tanen one nour ana
a half before each meal, with absolute
punctuality, and one at bed-time. Pa
tents have the first doe. brought to
their bedside and consume it before ris
ing. The passasre of the fluid into the
intestine," or Its consumption betore tne
meal; is insured by this rule. The quan
tity taken daily must bs modified ac
cording to the effects produced.
The temperature of the water should
b? increased as fast as the patients can
bear it. It is remarkable how high a
degree of heat some patients can en
dure after taking hot water for months.
At first such a temperature would
blister the mouth. Below 110 degrees
the heat is not sufficient, as a rule, to
have any effects save as an emetic.
The administration of hot water must
be continued at least six months in or
der to get its full "effects. It will be
some weeks, as a rule, before any ben
ciicial eflects become markedly appar
ent It is not sufficient for a test of its
va'.de that it be given at irregular in
tervals, with variable degrees of tem
perature. jrhe use' of cold fluids in the form of
beverages' must be absolutely prohib
ited. A restricted diet is often necessary to
the full effects of the treatment in
Munc form's of nervous derangements.

in any form, and fats. The sour wines

PRINTING PRESSES.
Tbe Inadequacy of the Old rress and the
Way It Was Remedied.
At the beginning of the century the
Times was at the bottom of the list of
London morning journals a regards
the numbers sold, its contemporaries
being ranked as follows in proportion
to their circulation: the Morning
Chronicle, (2) the Morning Post, (3)
the Morning Herald, (4) the Morning
Advertiser. The circulation of the
Times did not then exceed 1,000 copies
daily. Seven years earlier the daily
circulation of tlif Mnrninn Post was but
wSoO copies, and its progress had been
rapid; yet that of the itmeawas eveD
more marvelous during the ten follow
ing years. From having the smallest
circulation ofr any London contem
porary, the circulation of the Times be
came so much larger than that of any
of them that the ordinary printing ap
pliances proved inadequate to provide
the copies for which there was a de
mand." When the number bought was
1,000 it was easy enough to supply them
with a press which turned out between
300 and 400 copies an hour; bu when
many thousands were called for such a
press proved wholly inadequate Mr.
Walter had made several attempts to
eflect improvements in the printing
press. He consulted Marc Isambard
Brrtnel, one of the great mechinics
of his day, who gave his best attention
to the matter and then intimated his in
ability to execute what was required.
Mr. Walter advanced money to Thomas
Martyn. who thought he had made an
important discovery; but the ideas of
Martyn were not realized in practice.
While engaged in seeking for a person
who could give scope and effect to his
wishes, Friedrich Kocnig, a German,
who was born at Eisleben, in Saxony, in
1774, was laboring to effect improve
ments in the. printing press, was confi
dent of substituting steam for manual
labor in his new press, and was anx
iously waiting for an opportunity to give
scope to his views, and for a patron tc
rountenrnee and advance them. He
had visited England in the hope of find
ing there the opening and the support
which he could not obtain in his native
country. He found a sympathizer in
Thomas BensW, with whom he entered
into an agreement in 1807. Two years
later, when a working model of Koenig's
improved press had been completed,
Iiensley brought the matter before Mr.
Walter, who. for the moment, was sc
fully occupied 'with other engagement
that he could not entertain a new
scheme. In 1812 Koenig had finished
one of h'i new printing presses, and the
conductors of the principal London
journnls were invited to see it in opera
tion. Mr. Terrv. of the.Vornin7 Chron
icle, a very shrewd .man, and the
editor of a mo-t successful news
paper, would not even accept
the invitation, declaring that,
in his opinion, no newspaper was worth
so many years purchase as would equal
the cost of l lie new machine. Mr.
Walter accepted the invitaticn, care
fully examining Koenig's improved
press, and at once ordered two double
presses on the same model. Two years
elapsed before these presses were con
structed and at work. Rumors of the
new invention were circulated, despite
the secrecy to which all concerned had
been pledged, and the Times pressmen,
who believed that their means of liveli
hood would be at an end when steam
was applied t? printing vowed ven
geance upoe lit inventor. The new
presses were erected in rooms adjoining
those wherein fvl'V old .presses.' were in
operation. At six'o'cloek in the morn
ing of the 2!Uh of November, 1814, Mr.
AY alter entered the office with several
damp printed sheets in his hand, and
informed the startled pressman at work
there that the "Times was already
printed by steanif That if they at
tempted violence there was a force
ready to suppress it, but that if they
were peaceable their wiges should be
continued to every one of them till
similar employment could be procured."
In proof of his statement he handed to
them copies of the lirst newspaper
which had issued from a steam press.
The readers of that day's Times were
informed of the revolution of which if
was a visible token. Trilling though
the speed may now seem, it was ther.
thought astounding that a press could
throw off, as Koenig's did, 1,100 copiet
an hour, and ths bejrinninjr is mem
orable as the first step "in a series of im
provements still more remarkable than
that which was pronounced at the timt
to be the jrreatest that had been effected
in the art of printing since the discovery
of the art itself. A ineteenth Century.

A SALESMAN'S HAB&0W ESCAPE.
To sell goods appears to be easy business, es

there are duties and responsibilities connected
with the life of a head-salesman in a great estab-

little idea. One of the largest houses in the ar
tistic porcelain and glass business not long
atro
came near losing its chief salesman. Had he
died, as it was expected ho would, his place
would have been a very difficult one to fill. His
escape from death was indeed a very narrow one.

ness was feur yars ago in a malarious region in
Connecticut. The malaria got the better of me,
and laid the foundation for catarrh and all the
other evils I have been afflicted with.
"About a year and a half ago 1 t aught a se
vere cold. My lungs became inflamed, and ny
whole system was prostrated, tioon 1 showed
all the symptoms of consumption. I was entirely
disabled and untit to attend to business. I
was in the care of one of the best know n pliy
sicianr in the city, and one of the most expen
sive ones. But physicians could do litU in
reaching my case. The nearest they came to
tinding out what was the matter with me was
when they told me tliat if I had any business af
fairs to settle, to see about it as early as possi
ble, as I could not last long. It was understood
at the store that I must die, and that my place
would have to be supplied by somebody else.
My weight, which had been 137. ran down to
110. Yet I had a firm courage, with a sure hope
that somehow or other I would recover.
"After I got rid of the doctors, who had given
me up to die, I got a U'.tle better and was able to
drag myself down to the store. A couple of
lady customers spoke to me about Oompounl
Oxygen, and advi.-ed me to go to the Xew York
office of Stark y & Falen. and see Dr. Turner
about it. I knew nothing about this remedy, but
concluded to try ir, just on a venture. On taking
a few inhalations at Dr. Turner's office. I was
surprised at the effect on me. It seemed a litrht
matter to inhale something which was without
taste or odor; but certainly it did me a gre it
deal of good. My benefit began at once. I soon
was able to walk up and aown stairs. I took one
"home treatment." which lasted me for three
months; then I got a second. My appetite re
turned and my sleep wits good. A hen I fir-t
visited Dr. Turner, I had not for months hlcpt
in a bed. I had been compelled to take such
sleep ps I could get by reclining in a chair. My
feet a-id ankles were badly swelled, and I
seemed in all respects to be getting ready for the
undertaker. After taking the Oxygen awhile
I began to enjoy refreshing sleep jfor two or
three hoics at a time; I could lie ltebed and ob
tain rest and comfort by doing so.
"I will here say that I have found great ad
vantage :n the use of the nose-piece inhaler for
my catarrh. I inhaled directly through the nos
trils, with the best effect. A yellowish pulpy
secretion had been oming both from nose and
throat. The effect of the Compound Oxygen was
to cause this to stop, and with it. the pain and
unpleasant sensations I had been feeling in my
head.
"Soon I found myself, to mv great delight,
able to attend to bnsmesn. as of old. I had not
all my former strength, nor could I expect it.
Hut I was rapidly gaining, and have kept on
gaining ever since. All last w inter I was on
duty except a few of the wcttestandmost slushy
days, w hen I thought i" prudent to stay in the
house. I have been able to attend to my regu
lar businpss. and am now. Of course I am care
ful of myself. I do not expose myself to storms.
I walk with ease a few blocks every day, and
bnt without experiencing any great Bcnse of
fatigue-"
"lr. Clark, do you still continue the treat
ment or are you independent of it r
' Once in a while if I have a slight return of
throat trouble, I take few inhalations, and with
positive advantage. I do not now need to take
it for catarrh, for my catarrh is all gone, to my
great relief. 1 consider myself as thoroughly
eured as I can be. I have gained most of my
lost tlesh back again, and am increasing. Of
course I do not expect ever to be very stout.
"Arc you. then, a believer in Compound Oxy
gen as a restorer of health?'
"Believer? Why, yes; most thoroughly and
heartily. I cannot say too much for it. Y'ou
cannot wonder that I have lost all confidence in
the old systems. They conld do nothing for me
but tell me I was going to die, and they blun
dered when they told me that. Compound
Oxvgen brought me o what you see me now.
and did it after they had failed. Yes: you may
sav that I believe in Compound Oxvtren. and
that I recommend everybody who is situated as
I was to Wake a fair trial of it. I don't know
what ther make it of, and I don't care: all that
I know about it is that it pulled me through.
That's enough for me."
Compound Oxygen is not an experiment. It
is tried and true. Hundreds of others give sim
ilar testimony to that of Mr. Clark. Mai y of
those who have experienced the best benefits
from it are those whom the old-fashioned doc
tors had given up. To warn all about Com
