GENERAL GRANT.
The General Suffering a Deal of Pain as the Disease Progresses.
New York, June 1.
"Gen. Grant," said Dr. Douglass, on leaving the house this morning, "had a pretty fair night, sleeping in snatches and waking to apply a lotion to relieve pain in his throat. He is, I think, a little easier but suffers very much as the disease progresses, though he is apparently improved in general condition, and may be able to take a drive today."
After a restless night the General passed a comparatively quiet day, though he continued to suffer considerable pain. Notwithstanding the warm weather it was deemed best to keep the General in doors. Dr. Douglass characterized the recently published statement in relation to administering brandy during the crisis as a pure misconstruction of facts and declares Drs. Shrady and Sands never made the statements attributed to them.
