REVELATIOisi of QUAdliSand QUACKERY.
By DETECTOR.
For notices of this startl.ng work see the "Saturday Re-
view" of April 1, entitled "Quacks and Quackery ; the
"Weekly Dispatch" of April e, "The Quacks and their
Crimes ;', "The Sun" of April 12, " 'Detector's' Broadside
on Quacks and Quackery."
GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OF LONDON.
A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in
the " aledical Cliental'?" with the signature of "Detector,"
has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The
reader of "Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has
often read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau-
dulent and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences,
and more money by menaces and extortion, from green
young men. For their names, which "Punch" woutd not
advertise, he hay referred his readers to the lower corner of
the advertisin4 columns of low newspapers, amongst which
too many of Mr." Punch's" contemporat les, especially in the
country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub-
lish the information that a nominal list of these narcreatits,
with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning
them, needful to be known, will be found in the pamphl• t
above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks
and Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medic tl Circular "
Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.C.
The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel
rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of
Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to
the causation of suicide, are sully set forth in " Revelations
of Quacks and Qackery." And mark espeeally that, as
aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are published. The
pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di-
rectory, by consulting which every young man may know
where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed.
Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " it evelations of
Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse
you, whi e they invoke your indignation and disgust. Of
course you do not want it on account of its warnings for your
own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple-
tons with whom you must be acquainted, if your acquaint-
ance is large. " Who are the Quacks that 'Punch' means ?"
Consider what it is to be able to answer this question of the
young and inexperienced, and, for charity's sake, if for no
other, go and provide yourself with "Revelations of Quacks
and Quackery," by Detector.—Punch, April 12.
