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-

which never existed in any part OF the world; 9TH

those among them who even perurC themselves,
contradicing giving mercury to their patients, or
that it is contained in their n0strums, that the
usual foe" be obtained for professedly curing
or the dollar or &C fraction of it, may be obtain
ed for the nostrum. 1t is thus that many are de
ccived, also and spend large amounts for expert
meuts with Quackcry.
