REVELITION of QUACKS and QUACKERY.
By DETECTOR.

For notices of this startling work see the " Saturday Re-
view" of April 1, entitled "Quacks and Quackery ' • the
"Weekly Dispatch" of April 0, "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 " Medical Circular," 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 min. For their names, which "Punch" would not
advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of
the advertisin4 columns of low newspapers, amongst which
too many of Mr." Punch's" contemporaries, espeeiaily in the
country, may stilt be enumerated. But now he begs to pub-
lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants,
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 " Revelatitus of Quacks
an i Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medical 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 a...n Qackery." And mark especially that, as
aforesaid, the names of the Quacks ate 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 " Revelations of
Quacks and Quackery." its contents will astonish and amuse
you, white they invoke your indignation and disgust, 01
course you uo 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 he 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 giackery, ' by Detector.—Punch, April 12.

The Act of Parliament authorising the construction of a
bridge over the River Thames from Chelsea to Battersea,
with approaches thereto, received the Royal assent on the
25th July, 1864.
The bridge will connect Chelsea and Battersea, starting
from Choyne-walk at its junction with Oakley-street, and
terminate in the Prince Albert-road, Battersea, adjoining
Battersea Park.
It will bo constructed on the most modern and improved
form of the suspension principle, with cylinder foundations,
and of a width of not less than 40 feet, giving a clear head-
way in the centre of 21 feet above Trinity high-water
mark, the abutments forming a portion of the proposed
embankments on the Surrey and Middlesex shores.
A responsible Contractor has agreed to complete the
bridge, ready for traffic, in eighteen months, for £82,000,
taking part payment in paid-up shares of the Company.
If required, the Contractor has agreed to collect the tolls
of the new bridge and Battersea-bridge (which will become
the property of the Albert-bridge Company), and keep the
two bridges in repair for the space of twelve months after
the opening of the Albert-bridge, and has authorised the
Directors to retain the sum of £4,000 to guarantee the
shareholders for the same period a minimum dividend of 5
per cent. per annum, after paying all costs, charges, &c.
During the progress of the Bill in the House of Lords
very satisfactory arrangements were entered into for the
purchase of Battersea-bridge I,y the Albert-bridge Com-
pany : viz., the Albert-bridge Company agreed to purchase
Battersea-bridge (the purchase to be completed on the
opening of Albert-bridge) for a yearly rent-charge of
£6,000 per annum. The tolls on Battersea-bridge are
yearly increasing. For the year 1862 they amounted to
no less than £6,153.
The tolls on the now Chelsea-bridge (free on Sundays)
for the year ending March, 1863, were upwards of £l,OOO,
and have been increasing, taking the corresponding month
of last year, at a rate exceeding £lOO a-month.
The situation of the bridge is peculiarly favourable for
traffic ; it provides for Chelsea, Brompton, Kensington,
and the West-end of London a shorter and better route to
Battersea Park, Wandsworth, Clapham, Tooting, Mitcham,
and other places south of the Thames.
The Act of Parliament also authorises the Company to
construct a new street from the King's-road, Chelsea (oppo-
site Oakley-street), to the Brompton and Fulham-road
(opposite Sumner-place), and a short road from the Lower
Wandsworth-road to the Queen's-road, Battersea, thus
giving a direct thoroughfare from the Cromwell-road, Ken-
sington, to Clapham-common.
The great advantage the Albert-bridge possesses over the
other metropolitan bridges is—
First,—The small sum for which the bridge will be com-
pleted : the approaches on both sides of the river being
already made, the Company will not be called upon to pay
compensation.
Secondly,—Tho very satisfactory arrangements entered
into with the proprietors of Battersea-bridge will give the
Albert-bridge Company a clear profit of £3,000 per annum,
after deducting a sum per annum sufficient for maintenance
of bridge and expense of collecting of tolls.
Presuming the tolls on Albert-bridge equal to the tolls
on Battersea-bridge, the shareholders will have a clear
income of 9 per cent. on their capital.
Application for shares may be made in the annexed form,
and must be accompanied by a deposit of £1 per share. If
no allotment be made, the deposit will be returned to the
applicant without deduction. Pre,spectuses may be ob-
tained from Messrs. J. and A. Scrimgeour, the Brokers of
the Company ; at the Union Bank of London ; from the
Secretary, at the Offices of the Company ; from the Engi-
neers ; and from the Solicitors.

FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.
To the Directors of the Albert-bridge Company.
Gentlemen,—Having paid into the Union Bank of
London the sum of £ , being £1 per share on
shares in the above Company, I request you will
allot me that number of shares, and I hereby agree to accept
the same, or any less number that may be allotted to me,
and I undertake to pay the balance of the deposit and calls
thereon.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
leet-street, has introduced an entirely new descrip-
tiun of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished fro n the originals by the closest
observer; they will never change colour or decay. and will
be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This
method does not require tne extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication.
