IGNORANCE OF oUACK DOCTORS AND NOS.
TRUM MAKERS.
Through the ignorance of the Quack Doctor, know
ing no other remedy, he relies upon Mercury, and
gives ii to all his patients in pills, drops, &C., the
Nostrum Maker, equally ignorant, adds to his So
called Extracts Specific Antidote &C., both relying
upon its effects in curing few in a hundred ii i
trumpefed in various ways throughout the land; but
ALAs nothing is said of the balance: some of whom
die, others grow and left TO 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 yet regard
less of the life and health of Others there are those
among them who will even per;ure themselves, con-
tradicng giving mercury 10 their patients or that IL
is contained in their Nostrums. that the usual
fee may be obtained for professedy curing or ''the

useessly spend arge amounts for experiments with
