Quack Advertisements in Our Daily
Newspapers.
Medical Record


Just now there is great outcry against in
decency in secular journalism, and the fact
that certain dailies are being dropped from
club lists and public libraries has with some
of our lay contemporaries been magnifed into
the inn ortnnce of state news. This il Ger.
tainly good sign of the times, and tends, al
though in suspiciously interested manner,
TO educate public opinion in the proper direc-
tion. To the impartial observer, however, it
is quite evident that the parties who throw
the stones are by no means free from guilt
themselves Much Of the effort TO bs very
good is ridiculous on its face. II is, after all.
the old trick to balance the beam against the
mote in the journalistic eye. While all this
discussion is going on concerning what Is
pure and the proper education of the people,
no attention appears TO be paid to the shame
full lying and indecent advertisements which
are so common in all daily aud weekly news.
papers, good and bad. The high.minded ut
terances Of the editorial columns are so differ
ent and so distinct from the blatant lies in
the rented department OF the paper that they
remind every casual reader of the fact that
he who sups with the devil must have long
spoon. While no one will deny that such
practice is openly abetting fraud, there APP
pears TO be no effort on the part of even the
most respectable periodicals 10 discourage or
check the growing evil. In all the leading
newspapers there appear regular bids
in bold defiance of all ordinary law or common
dccency. Many Of these quacks have been
repeatedly indicted for criminal practices,
and their cases have been freely reported in
the very papers which publish their standing
advertisements. Even religious journals sell
their spaces TO these humbugs, and under the
guise OF uplifting the spirit on the one hand
degrade and destroy the body on the other.
The ilustrated idiots who are cured
by snuffs. inhalations, vegetable compounds
and soaps fill the sold spaces with tho most
transparent lies, and carry with them the
most outrageous insults to common sense
and ordinary judgment. II is absurd to sup
pose that the conductors Of these papers do
not know better than to give such frauds
hearing, and yet the editorial columns are
constantly aiming TO educate the people, to
protect the real interests OF the masses and
10 expose wrong dong In every other line.
Such advertising columns are constantly de-
livered mp 10 calumnies against legitimate
medicine TO the most shameful charge or ig-
nnrance of he ordinary family doctor and the
wonderful wisdom OF the self-renowncd ven
dor of a potent curcall. What would be the
result IL club committees should presume 10
criticise such course on behalf OF our bet
banishment OF such periodicals could bc daily
published in some rival paper2 How few in
deed could be found which could consistently
publ h such edifying news!
