MoRE QUAcKERY-Xavier Chabert won't die. The

degrees wont sli his eternal tongue lie prodgions
fellow to put to sleep other people, the cemetery of
the Poters6eld and several grave yards round town
testify. But he takes never to taste his own
medicine. He is out again in the Sun of to-day,
with long string of certificates about his saa-
mander qualities which he swears are as authentic as
his medical diplomas from Indiana Toulon Utica and
Nova Zembla No doubt of it,
Chabert's trembling efforts bolster up his quaeke-
res by certificates and diplomas Indicate too truly that
he has reached the scar and yellow Ieaf'' in New
York. He will have give up bis splendid coach
and four-hs numerous gold chains, seals and rings
his prodigious quantity of whisker. The poor people
OF New York have for four years been egregousy
duped by an mposter, who neither read write
whose very advertisements and accusations against us
are probably written by Sir Richard Adams Locke
They are mere bits of moonshine for which we care
nothing But the interests and health of thousands of
the poor people who have been daped by Chabert's
quackeries, ought never to remain any longer at the
mercy of impotence, charlatanism and imposture of
the highest degree.
Chabcr is said TO De an Arab by birth-he was cast
ashore in storm in the South of France-was coach
man or stable boy in Paris-took up his quackeries in
London, was driven out of that city in dsgrace-came
to New York-procured the aid of the corrupt press
here to sustain his imposures and from his success
has become vain staggering, nsolent and audacious
In his communications he invites tine public to examine
his certificates and diplomas at the Mayors Office
Will he submit his documents to the Medical College
Of Barclay street, Why refer 10 the Mayorl What
knows Mr. Lawrence Of medicine beyond the taste of
ganber salts Will Chabert agree to submit his pre-
tensions to any w live medical gentlemen selected BY
ballot from this city If he will do that we will Join
issue with him and abide the consequences. Until he
agrees to this proposition he not expect TO con-
hnue his duperes anddecepons any longer in this city,
The following extract from the London Lancet is
speech from Chaber himself delivered at some meeting
in Lendon, and giving his account of his
in that capital
