Sincere OnacIserv.

A rather remarkable case of sincere
quackery, which perhaps may not be
as rare as is generally supposed, oc-
Cured IN London some time ago.
An old lady sued Sir William Broad
bent, leading London practitioner,

elixir. This was no common remedy,
being free from those minerals which
are the root of all evil, but the skillful
blending of an herb of which medical
men know nothing" Needless to say,
the old lady lost her case, which she
pleaded in person. Her sincerity was
as obvious as her stupidity, and made
her pathetic rather than a ridiculous
figure

He opened his eyes and inquired
Now, then, what would you call
