deceived by the lying boasts, Misrepresentation

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

QUACK NOSTRUM- MAKERS,
through false certificates and references, and recon-

But ALL QUACkS ARE NOT IGNORANT
Notwithstanding the foregoing facts known to
some quacli doctors and no 'trum makers, yet, re
gardlcss of the life and health of Others there are
those among them who even perjure themselves
conradictins giving mercury to their patients, OF
that ii il contained in their noStrums, that the
''usual fee may be obtained for professedly curing
or the dollar or fraction of il, may be obtain
ed for the nostrum. 1t is thus that many are de-
crived also and spend larga amounts for expert
mcnts with quackcry.
