Peril of the "Quack."

From The Chicago Tribune
A campaign against quack physicians

quacks, of whom there arc something

from among the poor. Foreigners are

cure-alls for everything under the sun.
Reputable physicians i'm the foreign dis
tricts constantly run across instances
where quacks, in order to create bust
ness. have inoculated men aud women
who came to them with some slight ILL
ness, with diseases from which they may
never free themselves. Medical discov-
cries are shamefully abused by the quack.
A case in point is the discovery by a Ger
man professor of cure for blood disease.
The quacks Immediately began 10 practice
fraud in the name OF that discovery.
They would inject a little distilled water
under the skin of their victim and tell
him that they had cured him Of "A disease
which he never had. A charge of So. or
as much more as they could get Was
