ar IA nged that patients never hear on see

residence, consequently no family interruption,
so that on no account can any person hesitate
applying at his office; n
boldly asserts land it cannot be contradieted ex-
cept by quacks, who viii say or do anything, even
periure themselves, to impose upon patlents,t
that he
Is THE ONLY REGULAR GRADUATE PHYSICIAN
ADVERTISING BOSTON.
TWENTY YEARS
engaged in treatment Of Special Diseases, q fact
50 well known TO many citizens, publishers, mef-
chants, hotel proprietors, &C., that he Is much
recommended, and pa rtieulariy 70
STRANGERSAND TRAVELLERS.
To avoid and escape imposition of foreign ana
native quaeks, more numerous In Boston thsn
other large Cities DR. DIX
proudly refers 70 professors and respectable phys
icians-many of whom who consult him IN cria-
cal cases, because Of his acknowledged skill and
reputation, attained through so long experience,
practice and observation.
AFFLICTED AND UNFORTUNATE,
be not robbed, and add TO your suterlngs IN being
deceived by the lying boasts, misrepresentation,
false promises and pretenslons OF
FOREIGN AND NATIVE QUACKs,
who know little of the nature and character Of
Special Diseases, and less as TO their cure. Some
exhibit forged diplomas Of institutions or colleges
which never existed in any part OF the world;
others exhibit diplomas of the dead, how obtained
unknown; not only assn ming and advertising
in names of those inserted in the diplomas but 70
| further their imposition assume names Of other
celebrated physicians long since dead. Neither be
atACK NOsTRUM-MAKERs,
through false certificates and references, and re
COMMUNICATIONS of their medicines by the dead,
who cannot expose or contradict them; or who
besides, to further their impositions, copy from
medical books much that is written Of the quail
ties and effects Of different herbs and plants and
ascribe all the 70 their pills. extractE specif
ies &c, most of which, If not ALL contain mercury
because of the ancient belief Of its euring every
thing" but nov known TO Skill more than Is
cured" and those not killed, eonstitutionaly in
Iured for life.
IGNORANCE OF oUACK DOCTORS AND
NOSTRUM-MARERS.
Through the ignorance of the Quaek Doctor
knowing no other remedy ,he relies upon Mercury
and gives it to all his patients In pills. drops &e.
so the nostrum-maker, equally ignorant, adds TO
his so-called extracts, specific, sntidete &c, both
relying upon its effects in curing few in hund,
red, it is trumpeted in various ways throughout
the land but, alas nothing is said of the bal
snce, some of whom die, others grow worse, and
are left to lnger suter for months years, IN
til relieved or cured, if possible, by competent
BUT ALL QUACKs ARE NOT IGNORANT.
Notwithstanding she foregoing facts are
known to some Quaek doctors and nos
and health of others, there are those among thsm
who will even perjure themselves, contradictinR
giving mercury to their patients, that il is con-
tanned IN their nostruEls, SO that the "usual fee"
may be obtained for professedly curing, or ''ths
dollar" Traction of it" may be obtained for
the nostrum. It Ia thus that many are deceived,
Also and uselessly spend large amounts for expers
iments with quackery.
