NOW we nave all the testimonies we
could wish which will prove Samuel
Thomson not 10 be quacs. We have
for evidence the very definition of the
word, which cannot be applied to DR..
Thomson. That alone would be sulfici-
ent, but we have II host Of others. 1t is
true, there are beings who are quacks,
and these beings are men; but it does
not follow, as matter Of course, that,
because quacks are men, and that ThOm-
son is a man, that, therefore, he must be
n quack. That sy yllogism is not correct.
But they say he is ignorant. Ignorant
Of whai' Supposing he was ignorant Of
the long forgotten theories Of HippocIa-
les, CELSIUS, Galen, and many others
whose names are not recollected, does
that make him ignorant Of his own sys-
tenn?
lie wants no other sy stem mixed with
his; it is his own peculiar one, and it is
lie none Of his predecessors or cotem-
porary theory makers. He is not a
copyist; his works are original from be-
ginning to end Even those plagiarists
who have tried to rob him Of his Just
merit, have, so far from improving upon
him, really spoiled their trophy, by try
ing to blend his system with Others
Yet it is impossible to escape the cavils
OF the slandercr. This inhabitant of hell
seems now to have settled among US; it
will attack and make war upon any one
who tries to do any thing for the bene-
fit Of mankind. Had Thomson copied
from others, then the cry Of plagiarism
would have sounded all over the world.
But now that he has done something
new, their envy exclaims, ignorance, i'm
position, quackery!
But thanks be to heaven, which has
protected this country from the black de-
signs of despOts who wish to chain the
minds Of the people, the majestic Ameri-
can will be lree lie is not to be guled

would not only limit his civil liberty, but
his own precious life and health!
The laundering voice Of the People is
beginning to speak in our favor! The
rotten fabric of the Medical Faculty
must reform or sink to nonentity. The
jeers Of some few pampered drones will
no longer keep men, reasonable men, in
subjection. The time has come when
the people will choose for themselves
The mere epithet Of qnackery, applied
to the 1homsonian practice, is not sufli-
cient to lay it in the shade. There is a
vast number of individuals who are now

Thankful well bow our knees in Heaven;

QUACKs AND QUACKERY.


By DR.. ID. r. .vardin, of Charleston, =. C.
What is a QuacL? anil what consti.
iuies Q'mckery?-Of all the words made
use OF in the English language, there
are none whose meaning is 80 much
misapplied and so much abused. Web
strr says that a quack is "boaster, one
who pretends to skill or knowledge which
he does not possess-or boastlul pre-
tender of medical skill, which he does
not possess, an empiric, an ignorant
practitioner. That is the definition of
the word; and how comes il that it is
twisted into s" many meanings, and ap-
piled in so many lorms to SO many indi-
vidoaI>? There is no mystery involved
in The meaning of the word that can
see. A quack is one who says he knows
certain things of which he is ignorant
one who say he can cure certain disea-
scs, when he cannot: lie is one who
says he understands physiology, when
he is ignorant of the real substance, es-
sence, attributes, and nature Of life. 1t
is one who wants to mysliiy the subject
in which he practises, in order to keep
it hid from the people. lie is he who,
for fear Of detection, hides all his medi-
cnes under some unknown names, and
keeps the compounds s, cret from every
one. Ii is he who pretends to be initia-
ted into n mysterious knowledge which
no one can comprehend except the pro-
selytes.
This epiihet has been applied TO Dr..
Thomson, and his enemies still continue
to apply it to him and his followers. But
how can they do il? DR.. Thomson has
siders the human body to be composed
Of, and what produces the phenomena of
life: and, by making proper deductions
from his premises, he has established a
theory; and, according to that theory, he
has founded his practice. Now, even II
his system is false, he still is no quack
because he pretends not TO keep any se-
crets in his art or science. He tells all
about his theory and practice. We re-
member, on a certain day, while eating
breakfast, a very eminent physician o
the old school stepped into the house.
He sat at table with US. i mixed some
medicines with my coffee. "1his is tho
way, Doctor" said !, "that ] take mcdi
cine" go, my son." said the Doctor
l"you should not make use Of quack me
dicines nor old woninn's conjurations-
that is not philosopher.i' g." "But "ha
is quack- -doctor?" inquired l. Tho ole
gentleman replied, cit is n man whit
practises medicine without system. "
"Welp but have system to practise
! BY" Then you are no quack, ,"said he
DIR. Waterhouse says, "Thomson il
not a quack, il, by quack, we mean .
vain, artful, tricking practitioner in ply
SIC" "a quack," continue. the Doc
tor, "is a cunning, trickiog fellow, VIII,
mixes up drugs in a disting uished form
keeps the component articles secret, an,
advertises them as certain remedies 70
