F0RETGN AND NATIVE QUACKs,
who know little OF the nature and cEarac-

cure. Some exhibit forged diplomas of
institutions or colleges which never existed
in any part of the world: others exhibit
diplomas of the dead, how obtained I'M
known: not only assuming and advertising

IGNORANCE OF QUACk DOCTORS AND
STRUM-MAKERS.
Through the ignorance OF the Quack
Doctor. knowing no other remedy. he re-
lies 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, antidote, &C., both

hundred, it il trumpeted in various ways
throughout the land but, alasi nothing is
said of the balance, some Of whom die.
others grow worse, and are left to finger or
suffer for months or years, until relieved or
cured, II possible. by competent physicians.
BUT ALL QUAGkS ARE NOT IGNORANT.
Notwithstanding the foregoing facts are
known to some quack doctors and nostrum-
makers, yet, regardless of the life and
health Of others, there are those among
them who will even perjure themselves,
contradicting giving mercury to their patti
ents, or that II Is contained in their nos
trums, so that the usual fee" may be OBJ
tanned for professedly curing, or ''the dol
lar" or Traction of it," mey be obtained
for the nostrum, IL is thus chat many are
deceived, also, and uselessly spend large
amounts for experiments with quackery.
