REVELATION of QUACKS ana 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 Or 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 men. For their names, which "Punch" would not
advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of
the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which
too many of Mr. " Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the
country, may still 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 pamphlet
above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks
ani 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 and Qackery." And mark especially that, as
aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are publishel. 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, while 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 2"
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.

Ash's Patent Piston Freezing Machine.

Undoubtedly one of the greatest improvements in the
method of producing dessert ices, &c., &c., is the Piston
Freezing Machine and Wine Cooler, patented by Mr. Ash,
and manufactured by Mr. Geo. Simpson, at 315, Oxford-
street. A few days ago we availed ourselves of the in-
vitation of Mr. Ash to inspect his machine and process of
maldng ice, and, we candidly confess, a more interesting
exhibition we never attended. Whether the fact that,
with the thermometer standing at 80 in the shade, we were
supplied with a delicious lemon ice in loss than seven
minutes from the piston machine had anything to do with
the pleasing performance, we leave others to imagine.
The new machine is exceedingly simple, and so easy is
the process that the merest tyro can produce his own ice
with but a few minutes' agitation of the piston, moulded
and quite in condition for the table, and all in one process.
The old mode of producing dessert ice, it must be con-
fessed, was a troublesome and oftentimes a vexing per-
formance, because, after all your labour, it frequently oc-
curred that you got your ice either lumpy, flaky,
or snowy; but all this is entirely obviated, and now,
instead of being confined to the production of one
sort of ice, it is an easy task to produce from one ma-
chine, and at one operation, two, or even four, distinct and
different sorts. In order to produce results, when rough

ice cannot easily be had, Mr. Ash has discovered a chemical
fr&zing powder, which can be obtained in any quantity
at a very cheap rate, and thus the resident at Calcutta or
Madras can have his dessert ice, provided he possesses one
of Ash's machines, as readily as if he had the rough material
at his command, because, the ingredients composing the
freezing powder, viz., saltpetre, sal ammoniac, and com-
monsoda are indigenous to our Indian empire. Tho pro-
duction of artificial ice has hitherto been far from cleanly
and altogether a laborious performance, but with the new
machine, which can be easily carried from place to place
in a small hamper, all objections are surmounted, in proof
of which, if it was required, the cook could produce his ice
pudding on the dining table, and without one spot soiling
the table cloth. We have said the process is easy, and by
way of illustration we may mention that whilst we were at
Mr. Simpson's establishment a lady came for the first time
to inspect the machine,
and in five minutes she produced a
beautiful moulded piece of solid ice, much to her own
amazement and that of the company by whom she was
surrounded. The invention is an exceedingly clever one,
and doubtless it will entirely supersede the antiquated pro-
cess now in use, because the Piston Freezing Machine is
cheap, portable, and reliable.

sort of ice, it is an easy task to produce from one ma-
chine, and at one operation, two, or even four, distinct and
different sorts. In order to produce results, when rough
ice cannot easily be had, Mr. Ash has discovered a chemical
freezing powder, which can be obtained in any quantity
at a very cheap rate, and thus the resident at Calcutta or
Madras can have his dessert ice, provided he possesses one,
of Ash's machines, as readily as if he had the rough material
at his command, because, the ingredients composing the
freezing powder, viz., saltpetre, sal ammoniac, and com-
monsoda are indigenous to our Indian empire. The pro-
duction of artificial ice has hitherto been far from cleanly
and altogether a laborious performance, but with the new
machine, which can be easily carried from place to place
in a small hamper, all objections aro surmounted, in proof
of which, if it was required, the cook could produce his ice
pudding on the dining table, and without one spot soiling
the table cloth. We have said the process is easy; and by
way of illustration we may mention that whilst we were at
Mr. Simpson's establishment a lady came for the first time
to inspect the machine, and in five minutes she produced a
beautiful moulded piece of solid ice, much to her own
amazement and that of the company by whom she was
surrounded. The invention is an exceedingly clever ono,
and doubtless it will entirely suporsode the antiquated pro-
cess now in use, because the Piston Freezing Machine is
cheap, portable, and reliable.

An Electioneering Curiosity.

We (Morning Advertiser) have received the fol-
lowing letter from Mr. J. H. Fox, late Conserva-
tive candidate for the representation of Marylebone.
'We give the letter as we have received it, without
altering either the grammar, the orthography, ol•
the punctuation, in order that the "great Conser-
vative party" in Marylebone may be able fully to
estimate the extent of the calamity they have sus-
tained in having lost the services of such a repre-
sentative as Mr. Fox :
Sin, —I trust You will allow Mo a short space in Your
Columns in order that I may put Myself right before the
Electors of the Borough of Marylebone and the public at
large, in regard to the late election the reason I did not go
to the Poll was, that a few petty Tradesmen Electors in the
Borough, volunteered to to perform a duty which from their
timidness or want of Abilities they failed to perform, when
the proper time bad arrived namly to propose and second
Mo at the Nomination, leaving Me at the last Moment no
time to look for Gentlemen who would have considered it
a duty and a pleasure to perform, and thus depriving the
Electors of the Borough of Marylebone of the opportunity
of recording their votes in favour of the Liberal, Conserva-
tive, Candidate, which they undoubtedly would have done
in great numbers, so much for lowering the Franchise,
when so many of those who now enjoy it, show such indif-
ference in its duo exercise, one word as to the expense of
the late Contest, I wish it to be understood that I am
both able and willing to bear that expense heavy as it is, I
neither received nor will I accept one Farthing from an
quarter whatsoever for such a purpose, while an Apology
is justly due to You for taking up so much of Your
valuable space.

I remain Sir Yours Respectfully
J. H. Fox.

319, Oxford-street, July 14, 1865.
It is due to Mr. Fox to say that this letter is not
in, his own handwriting, but we are warranted in
taking it .for granted that it is a copy of an
original letter by him, and also that being duly
signed, it was read and approved by the late Con-
servative candidate for Marylebone.
[A precisely similar communication was received
yesterday by ourselves, dated, like the foregoing,
from 319, Oxford-street, but without any signature
whatever.—En. Sux.]

THE CONVICT PRITCHARD.—Dr. Pritchard keeps
calm and composed, spending the whole day in reading the
few books supplied out of the prison library, eating well
and sleeping soundly. An application has already been
received from a person ambitious of officiating on the
morning of the execution. This rival to Calcraft, although
quito unknown on the Platform of the British gallows,
states that he qualified himself for the task by a short tut
arduous apprenticeship during the mutiny in India, where
he made his first essay
amongst the rebel sepoys. The
authorities, it is stated, have agreed to employ Calcraft, as
usual, the long experience of that official making him the
one isl when most confidence can be placed.

. A LADY SENTENCED TO PENAL SERVITUDE FOR
FORGERY.—Yesterday, at the Warwick Assizes, be-
fore Mr. Justice Blackburn, Hannah Maria Wedgwood,
the wife of Mr. William Robert Wedgwood, of Greyshot
Hall, Hampshire, was indicted for forging and uttering a
promissory note for .£lOOO, at Birmingham, on the 16th of
May last. Mr. Kennedy prosecuted ; Mr. Sergeant O'Brien.
defended. The case for the prosecution was, that in 1861
the prisoner commenced negotiating loans with a Mr. 'Wil-
liams, solicitor, of Birmingham, after representing that her
godmother, Miss Maria Jones, of Westfield Hall, Spilsbn
had made a will bequeathing her £lO,OOO. In April, 1864,
these loans amounted to the large sum of £11,650, the
repayment of which was deferred, at the request of the
prisoner, until 1865. In May, 1864, she negotiated, by
correspondence through Mr. Williams a further loan of

whole of the transactions with Mr. Williams were

ducted by the prisoner by correspondence, and in all cases
she represented that she was acting on behalf of some ono
else—Miss Jones, her sister, and others. The defence was
that the prisoner had acted under the direction and in-

Ash's Patent Piston Freezing Machine.

Undoubtedly one of the greatest improvements in the
method of producing dessert ices, &c., &c., is the Piston
Freezing Machine and Wino Cooler, patented by Mr. Ash,
and manufactured by Mr. Geo. Simpson, at 315, Oxford-
street. A few days ago we availed ourselves of the in-
vitation of Mr. Ash to inspect his machine and process of
making ice, and, we candidly confess, a more interesting
exhibition we never attended. Whether the fact that,
with the thermometer standing at 80 in the shade, we were
supplied with a delicious lemon ice in less than seven
minutes from the piston machine had anything to do with
the pleasing performance, we leave others to imagine.
The new machine is exceedingly simple, and so easy is
the process that the merest tyro can produce his own ice
with but a few minutes' agitation of the piston, moulded
and quite in condition for the table, and all in one process.
The old mode of producing dessert ice, it must be con-
fessed, was a troublesome and oftentimes a vexing per-
formance, because, after all your labour, it frequently oc-
curred that you got your ice either lumpy, flaky,
or snowy; but all this is entirely obviated, and now,
instead of being confined to the production of ono
sort of ice, it is an easy task to produce from ono ma-
chine, and at one operation, two, or even four, distinct and

different sorts. In order to produce results, when rough
ice cannot easily be had, Mr. Ash has discovered a chemical
freezing powder, which can be obtained in any quantity
at a very cheap rate, and thus the resident at Calcutta or
Madras can have his dessert ice, provided ho possesses one
of Ash's machines, as readily as if he had the rough material
at his command, becauSe, the ingredients composing the
freezing powder, viz., saltpetre, sal ammoniac, and coin-
monsoda are indigenous to our Indian empire. The pro-
duction of artificial ice has hitherto been far from cleanly
and altogether a laborious performance, but with the new
machine, which can be easily carried from place to place
in a small hamper, all objections aro surmounted, in proof
of which, if it was required, the cook could produce his ice
pudding on the dining table, and without one spot soiling
the table cloth. We have said the process is easy, and by
way of illustration we may mention that whilst we wore at
Mr. Simpson's establishment a lady came for the first time
to inspect the machine, and in five minutes she produced a
beautiful moulded piece of solid ice, much to her own
amazement and that of the company by whom she was
surrounded. The invention is an exceedingly clever one,
and doubtless it will entirely supersede the antiquated pro-
cess now in use, because the Piston Freezing Machine is
cheap, portable, and reliable.

THE PISTON FREEZING MACHINE
(ASH'S PATENT) is rapidly becoming a part of the
cuisine of every gentleman's establishment. becau,e it is by
far the quickest, most economical, and easy method of
freezing known. It is only by the piston process that des-
tert to s, feel puddings, &c., can be made at once In moulds,
ready for table (avoiding the double operation of freezing and
moulding afterwards). It is the very best apparatus for
icing wine., and produces the purest block ice. Its complete
SUCC2BB, when used with the chemical freezing powders (in
lieu of ice) in hot climate,, on board ship, sc., is testified by
reference to patrons in nearly every part of the world. Pike
