we are known to many Citizens, Publishers Mcr-

To avoid and escape imposition of foreign and na-

IGNORANCE OF QUACK DOCTORS AND
NOSrRUM- MAKERS.
Through the ignorance of the Quack Doctor
knowing no other remedy, he re les upon MERCURY,

But ALL QUACkS ARE NOT IGNORANT.
Notwithstanding the foregoing facts are known to
some quack doctors and nostrun- makers, vet, re-

those among them who even perurc themselves,
contradicting giving mercury to their patients, or
