trumpeted in various ways throughout the land but
ALAS nothing is said of the balance; some of whom
die, Others grow worse and left 10 linger and suf-
fer for months or years. until relieved or cured if
possible, by competent physicians.
BUT ALL QUACKS ARE NOT IGNORANT.
Notwithstanding the foregoing facts are known to
some quack doctors and nostrum makers vet regard
less of the life and health of Others there those
among them who will even per;ure themselves, con-
tradicng giving mercury to their patients that il
is contained in their Nostrums. that the usual
fee" may be obtained for professedy curing, ''the
dollar or Traction of it, may be obtained for the
Nosrum. II is thus that many deceived also and
uselessy spend large amounts for experiments with
quackery.
