There is no authority for tlio statent that his physicians at any time progiticated speedy death or did not give most encouraging reports of the ient's progress. The fact has been irged that the physicians wero suppreesall references to the graver symptoms, s bulletins which have been isd at the request of the family general Grant, and in answer to the insant demands of the press have been iply bare statement* of the exactcorlons at the timo, without theories or amenta, The medieal stall'always niainaed that on account of the General's istitutional depression, which was out ill proportion to the extent of the local ease, that the latter would not cause ith unless by accidental erasion of the go artery or possible straugulalion from ludden upnaration of slough. At one le only did death seem imminent from leral exhaustion and threatened heart lure, aud but for timely assistance uld probably have occurred. Che General has never been in any ilan' from choking and the only hemorrhage iich occurred was of Blight extent and ised of itself.

The tlgh is nearly separated from the throat, 1 so far a source of immediate danger s been removed, but the throat disease itlll there, although for the present it is pareutly quiescent.
