AFFLICTED AND UNFORTUNATE,
be not robbed and add to your suferings in being
deceived by the lying boasts, Misrepresentation,
false promises, and pretentions of
FOREIGN AND NATIVE QUACKS,
who know but little of the nature and character Of
Special Diseases, and less TO their cure. Some ex-
hibit forged Diplomas Of institutions Colleges,
which never existed in any part OF the world 9th
exhibit Diplomas OF the Dead, how obtained,
unknown; not only assuming and advertising in
names OF those inserted In the diplomas but to fur
thcr their imposition assume names of the celebrat-
ed physicians long since dead Neither be deceived by
QUACK NOSTRUM- MAKERS,
through false certificates and references, and recon-
mendations OF their medicines by the dead, who
cannot expose contradict them; who, besides,
to further their impoSitious, copy from medical
books, much that is written of the qualities and eff
fects OF different herbs and plants and ascribe all
the same to their Pills, Extracts, Specifics, Sc,
most OF which, if not all, contain Mercury, because
of the ancient belief of Its ''curing everything"
but now known to e kill more than is cured" and
those not killed, constitutonalIy injured for life.
IGNORANCE OF QUACK DOCTORS AND
NOSTRUMMAkERS.
Through the ignorance Of the Quack Doctor,
knowing no other remedy, he relies upon MERCURY,
and gives it to all his patients in Pins Drops, &C..
the Nostrum-maker, equally ignorant, adds to
his so-caled Extracts, Specifics, Anidoe. &C., both
relying upon its effects in curing few in hundred,
it is trumpeted in various ways throughout the land
but, alas nothing is said of the balance, some of
whom die others grow worse and are left TO linger
and suffer for months or years, until relieved or
cured, if possible, by competent physicians.
But ALL QUACKs ARR NOT IGNORANT.
Notwithstanding he foregoing facts are known to
quack doctors and no Strum- makers, yet, re-
gardless Of the life and health of others, there
those among them who even perJure themselves,
that it is contained in their nostrums, that the
usual fee may be obtained for professedly curing,
or the dollar, or " fraction of 1t, may be obtain
ed for the nostrum. 1t is thus that many de-
ceived also, and spend large amounts for expert
ments with quackery.
