Medical Testimony given 29 March 1890 by D. S. Grossman, M.D. in Minburn, Dallas County, Iowa - gave medical advice and treatment to John N. Grice as follows:
"I first treated this applicant in the fall of 1887. He has been under my treatment continuously ever since then. When first called to see him he had serious lung trouble, which has steadily been growing worse ever since then. The history he gave me, together with his emaciated condition and impaired vesicular breathing convinced me that the case is one of long standing. The case seems to me to be more of chr. capillary bronchitis than of consumption. There is permanent rise of temperature of about 2 degs. There are rales diffused through the lungs generally and much soreness. He is temperate and of good habits. He is entirely disabled. He cannot do any manual labor whatever owing to the lung trouble."  .......This testimony is part ot the pension packet from NARA and transcribed by Cynthia Greenman, 3 March 2007.
