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 9, "The Quacks and their
Crimea ;" "The Sun" of April 12, "'Detector's' Broadside
on Quacks and Quackery."
GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OF LONDON. 1
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 " !•unch" should read this pamphlet also. He has
often read, i, she pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau-
dulent &tin uJisome, who obtain money by false pretences,
and more money by menaces and extortion, from green
young m:n. ?or their names, which " Punch" would not
advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of
the advertisin% columns of low newspapers, amongst which
too maw. of Sir." Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the
couutn , way still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub-
lish .he information that a nominal list of these noscreants,
with capies of their puffs and other particulars concerning
them, needful to be ..nown. will be found in the pamphl-t
above referred •,o, which is eat cit led " Revelations of Quacks
anri Quackery,' a i,d is to Le had at the "Medic xl Circular"
Office, 20, Rfng 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 iully set for h in " Revelations
of Quacks aud Qackery." And mark especially that. as
aforesaid, the names of the Quacks a, e published. The
pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di-
rectory. by consulting which every young man may know
where be may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed.
Buy, theretore, reader, by all means buy rt evelations of
Quacks and Quackery." Its cont ents will astonish and amuse
you, while they invoke you, indignation and disgust. Of
course yoc ~o not want on account of its warnings for your
own sake, nit you doubtless du for chat of the many simple-
tons with whom you must be acquainted, if your acquaint-
ance is large. " Who are the Quacks that ' Punch' means I"
Conside.. what it is to e 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.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
This Company is formed to extend the workings of the
Dalbeattie and Kirkconnell Granite Quarries, near the
rivers Urr and Nith, Kirkcudbright, in order to supply the
great and increasing demand for this stone, consequent upon
the Metropolitan Board of Works having selected it for
the construction of the Thames Embankment.
The vendor holds, and has partly executed, advantageous
contracts to the amount of more than £lOO,OOO, for sup-
plying material to that important national undertaking, as
well as many orders for architectural, memorial, and orna-
Mental works, and for street paving and other economical
purposes.
With these contracts, and the rapidly expanding trade
(met by the constantly increasing powers to execute ex-
tensive orders), there is full and immediately profitable
employment for the capital required.
The Directors have taken power to create a Sinking Fund
by an annual investment with the object of securing to the
Shareholders, as far as may be, the value of their paid-up
capital at the expiration of the 31 years leases of the
quarries ; and the vendor has agreed that for a period of two
years the 2,500 Shares, which are to be allotted to him in
part payment of purchase money, shall receive no dividend,
unless the dividends paid to the Ordinary Shareholders
amount to 10 per cent. per annum.
It is not expected that more than £6 per share will be
called up, the Directors considering that that amount will
be ample to support the anticipated extension of the busi-
ness of the Company.
There are no promoters fees, and the preliminary ex-
penses will be restricted to the moderate outlay absolutely
necessary for the formation of the Company. The Memo-
randum and Articles of Association may be seen at t
offices of the Company's Solicitors, and of the Company. he
