engaged in treatment Of Special Diseases, fact
40 well known 70 many citizens, publisher, ner-
chants hotel proprietofs &c, that he Is tauel
recommended, and pa rtieularly to
sTRANGERSAND TRAVELLERS.
To avoid and escape imposition of foreign ana
native quscks. more numerous in Boston than
other large cities,
proudly refers 70 professors and respectable phys
iciaus-many Of whom who consult him IN crltl-
cal caseg. because Of his acknowledged skill a.

AFFLICTED AND UNFORTUNATE,
be not robbed, and add 20 your suherings N being
deceived by the lying boasts, misrepresentation,
false promises and pretensions Of
FOREIGN AND NATIVE QUACKS,
who know little of the nature and character Of
Special Diseases, and less ss to their ours. Some
exhibit forged diplomas colleges
which never existed IN sny part OF the world /;
others exhibit diplomas OF the dead, how obtained
unknown; not only 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
aUACK NosTRUM-MAKERs,
through false certificates and references, and Re
COMMUNICATIONS of their medicines by the dad,
who cannot expose or contradict them; OF En0,
besides, to further their irnpositions, copy from
medical books much that is written OF the quail
ties and effects of different herbs and plants, and
sscribe all the TO their pills, extracts, see
ies &c, most of which if NOT all, contain mercury
because of the ancient belief Of its 'curng every
thing" but now known 70 SKILL more than il
cured" and those not killed, eonsatutiOnany IL
Iured for life.
IGNORANCE OF oUACK DOCTORS AND
EOSTRUM-HARERS
Through the ignorance of the ouack Doctor,
knowing no other remedy, he relies upon Mercury
and gives it TO all his patients in pills, drops &C.,
so the nostrum-maker, equally ignorant, adds TO
his so-called extracts, specific, antidete, &c, both
relying upon its effects in curing few IN hund,
red, il is trumpe5ed in various ways throughout
the land; but, alas nothing Is said Of the bal
ance, some of whom die, others grow worse, and
are left to linger or suffer for months or yearsur-
til relieved or cured, if possible, by competent
BUT ALL QUACKs ARE NOT IGNORANT.
Notwithstanding Ehe foregoing facts gEe
known to some qusek doctors and nos
trum-nRkers, yet, regardless of the life
and health Of others, there are those among thsn
who viii even periure themselves, CONTRADICTIONS
giving mercury to their patients that it is Coz
tanned their nostrums, so that the 'fusuRl fee,
may be obtained for professedly curing, or ssthe
dollar" or Traction Of ii, ;" may be obtained for
the nostrum. It is thus that many sre deceived,
also, and uselessy spend large amounts for expezs
iInents with quackery.
