Old-Time Quackery.

From the London Chronicle.
The eighteenth century was the golden
harvest-time of the quack, against whom
some Of the fiercest shafts Of HOgarths
satire were directed. He loved to sur
round himself with an atmosphere Of mys-
terry, which was calculated to impose upon
the credulty of his victims. His room
was bedecked with skulls and skeletons. A
brisk trade in quackery was carried on by
women. Mr.. J. c. Wright, in his book,
The Good Old Times records the fact
that in the year 1879 "a Mrs Joanna
Stephens was awarded $4,000 by the gov
eminent for a proper discovery made by
he, for the cure of the stone" This
proper discovery adds Mr. Wright,
consisted OF powder. decoction and
pills-the last named being formed from
calcined snails. with carrot seeds, hips and
haws. the compound being burnt to black
ness and then mixed with soap and
honey"
