a Further Explanation of the
Term QudCk.

Mr.. Editor: / propose, in this
article, to answer some questions re-
garding quacks, a subject, to which
the readers Of your paper were direct
ed in former communication. The
primary meaning o: quack is to "cry
like duck" But when, under what
circumstances, by whom and to
whom, was it first used as term of
contempt and reproach2 "In the
year 1893, A. d arose Theophrastus
Bombast.s Paracelsus," a native OF
Switzerland, who first introduced
quicksilver, or mercury, as a medi-
cine; and all who thus administer. d
it were denominated "quacks," in
allusion to the name quicksilver,
given to this metal by the Germans.
The then prevailing system Of treat
ing diseases was the Galemic or vege-
table practice, which had stood the
test OF fourteen hundred years. Par
acelsus burnt the works Of Galen be-
fore the audience to whom he lec-
tured. He at length became iptoler-
ably vain-glorious, boasting that
there was more knowledge in his
beard than in the whole of Galen.
He was likewise shockingly impious,
, declaring that. il God would not i'm
part to man the secrets Of medicine,
it was right to consult the devil.
He professed to have discovered
the elixir of life, which would prolops

time where her grave is; but it is
thought more than probable that she
lies buried in the McJunkin burying
ground, few miles from Union, near
by the old highway which leads
through Fair Forest to Tiger river.
The descendants of Col. Thomas and
his wife are widely dispersed over
many countries. Some are officers
in the United States navy. Others
occupy positions of trust and honor
in other ayocations of life. Some
have distinguished themselves in the
wars OF the present generation, bear
ing their country's banner into dis
tant lands across the waters, gladly
dying for it's glory, as in the immortal
fields OF Manassas and Appomattox,
leading on in front of the bitter strife,
as in the days of old, dying where
duty lead them.
And still there are others quietly
sleeping near their old home in the
beautiful Fair Forest they all loved
80 we'll, under the shadows OF the tall
pines, which stand like ghostly senti-
nels keeping eternal watch over the
graves OF the dead heroes.
Thus the names of Col. John
Thomas and his peerless wife shall
shine on untarnished on the rolls of
fame, the example of each distant
age adding new lustre to the nations

WORDS OF PRAISE WELL MERITED


So much has been written by the
standard medical authorities, Of all the
several schools Of practice, in praise
Of the native, or American, medicinal
plants which enter into the compost
ton Of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, that in attempting 70 quote
from the various works on Moferi0
Medica one hardly knows where to
commence, since they are 80 volumin-
Gus that only the briefest and most i'm
perfect reference can be presented in a
short article like this.
Briefly then let US say that The
vGOlden Medical Discovery" was
named from the sturdy little plant
Golden Seal, the root Of which enters
largely into it's composition. Besides
this most valuable ingredient, it cor.
tains glyceric extracts OF Stone root,
Queens root, Black Cherrybark, Blood
root and Mandrake root.
Finley Elingwood, NJ. D., an emin-
ent practitioner Of Chicago and Profess
eor Of Moterid Mcdiod in the Bennett
Medical College OF that city, in his
recently published work on Thernpeu-
tics, says Of Golden Seal root. ut is
the most natural of Htimulants to the
fiuence upon the mucous sdrfaces rem
ders II most important in catarrhal
gastritis inflammation OF stomach) and
gastric lstomach) ulceration.n
Many other authorities as well as DR..
Ellingwood eStol the Hydrastjs Golden
Seal) as a remedy for catarrhal dis
eases Of the nasal passages, stomach,
bronchia, gall ducts, kidneys, intestines
and bladder. Among these, we NAV
mention Prof. John King, NJ D., author
OF the American Dispensatory; Prof.
J. NJ Scudder, NJ. D., in his Specific
Medication DR. Hale Of the Hahne-
mann Med. College OF Chicago Grover
Coe, NJ. D., OF New York, in his cOr-
ganic Medicines, Or. Bartholow OF JEFF
ferson Med. College and scores Of other
leading medical writers and teachers.
All the foregoing eminent authorities
extol the curative virtues OF Golden
Seal in cases OF stomach, liver and in
testinal weakness, torpor and liberation
OF bowels. DR.. Ellingwood recommends
il most highly. y In those cases Of atomic
dyspepsia when the entire apparatus,
including the liver, is stagnant and

women.
But to return to the vGolden Medical
discovery" it may be said that its cur
ative properties are not wholly depend
ent upon Golden Seal, valuable as it is,
as other equally potant ingredients add
greatly to its value and in fact are not
less important than the Hydrastis, or
Golden Seal.
In all bronchial, throat, lung and
kindred ailments, Stone root, Black
Cherrybark, Queens root and Blood
root, each plays as important a part
in effecting the phenomenal cures of
vGolden Medical Discovery" as does
Golden Seal. All these ingredients
have the endorsement Of prominent
practitioners OF all schools Of medicine
for the cure of diseases OF the bronchia,
throat and lungs.
