GEN. GRANT

From the April 1885 issue of The Christian Science Journal


People are feeling very deeply for Gen. Grant. They mean no disrespect to the medical advisers who have faithfully attended his case, but thousands who are as faithfully his friends, ask that now, since the doctors of the regular school have pronounced death sentence upon him, (the press, in consequence, teeming with death-bed records and requiems for fallen heroes,) that some one who from successful experience with such cases is courageously confident that he can be cured, be allowed to try for his life as they would for a common citizen. It is a grave responsibility for a school of practice that has never cured a certain malady, to take the stand that nobody shall be allowed to cure it outside their empirical methods. Such action will go down to history as a phase of barbarism which civilization and Christianity had not subdued in the last days of the nineteenth century.
