DscLiNE OF QUAcsERY.-No one can have failed
TO be struck with the evidence OF the rapid decline
Of qsuckery in this city within the last halt year
1t is truly remarkable. The observation-disclosures ap-
pear TO be on their last legs.
Some time ago the advertising columns OF the
newspapers were crowded with elaborate notices
and putis o. an infinite number Of inialhle speci-
hcs. Now, twould seem as If all the quacks had
exclaimed with the Moor" Othello's occupations
gone" Their silence is most nournully expressive
OF their lack OF business. The quack advertisements
are astonishingly diminished in numbers and ire
quency. Even these which do appear, are of
very different character from what they were in the
palmy days of the trade. There is now sheepish
sir Of indecsion and Old Bailey like modesty about
them, which contrasts strikingly with the vocferous
impudence which was wont 10 characterize the IL
terature Of the pesile.
The cause OF all this change is very easily dis
covered. A great impetus has lately been given in
this city 10 the OF genuine medical science by
the rivalry OF the two medical schools-ihe ncreas-
ed circulation of medical iierature-and the united
efieris Of the members ,oi the association for pro-
motins pharmaceutical science, and suppressing
qusckery. This establishment, whose principal
office is at 81 Nassau street, has gone about the
business in the night way, by securing the regular
services OF distinguished physicians and surgeons
charging nothing for advice and medical attendance
and selling the best medicines at the lowest price
Immense numbers, who would otherwise have
fallen into the clutches of quacks and imposters,
have been thus saved from plumber and mal-trea,-
ment.
What with the reorganization OF the Bellevue
Hosptal-the College Of Medicine and Pharmacy
two fourishing medical schools-all under the
suPerin,endence and management of or Motifs,
Parkers, Gilmans, Kissams, and Reveres, the city.
and, eventually, the whole country must soon be
freed from all the evils Of quackey, and vas, sa.
wing Of human health and life be effected
