Recently excellent law passed In Illinois
quirng all persons practising medicine TO produce
diplomas obtained from some regular college by the
LIST OF January. This very necessary has been
vast source OF all cton TO quacks and members who
prey upon the ignorance OF tho public under the name
OF doctors, and who grow fat and wealthy by their
trade OF imposition Some of them must enter
medical colleges and so through a regular course
oil study some of them must seek another State;
all are anxously striving 10 purchase diplomas
from medical colleges. Consequently most OF the
medical colleges throughout the country daily in
receipt OF numerous letters containing handsome
oilers OF money IN exchange Tor diplomas. Few COL
leees in the West are exempt from The plague. Even
the Ohio Medical College This city has been reccv.
ing letters OF this kind by the bushe measure.
Now a good business may always be done in the
sale OF diplomas quacks, and there always cum
ming humbugs enough TO supply the want. No well
established college OF medicine would sell n diploma
at any price. No college OF any standing could ever
Afford 10 listen TO overtdres on the subject. But
"ihee's millions in it, and there lew things in
this world that can not be countereted. just AT the
present time the counterfeit has been brought fne
degree OF perfection IN our midst, and there more
money being made at the business perhaps, than
made before, all because OF that nice little law
Illinois which the roguos must contrive 10 nuy in
some way or ether.
II does cost much to manufacture the college,
which is the first thing necessary. A house may be
rented at quite ii reasonable figure; 'faculty" OF
straw men may be created by even the badcst imag-
nation and then the college" beng located and
having the Of Its faculty all neatly printed on
circulars, may be fncorporated-for almost an ythng
may be Incorporated nowadays There Is too much
,ncorporntion going on Once this fraud has been
incorporated" the rest Of tho outlay necessary to
the success OF the scheme will DC almost confined to
the cost OF paper, postage stamps and printing.
IL Is alter the incorporation" OF such trans
parent humbug that wo read end OF such advcr.
