Quack Doctors In
London Prospering
Officer In Medical Association
Declares Majority Of Brit
ishers Gullible.
London.—Not only in the United
States do quack doctors prosper at
the expense of a gullible public.
In the opinion of a prominent
official of the British’Medical as
sociation. quack doctors were never
so prosperous in England as they
are at the present time.
Englishmen guffawed recently
when they read of a colored Ameri
can doctor being arrested for telling
a negro to bury his foot in the earth
for over an hour at dawn to cure
his rheumatism. According to the
British Medical association's spokes
man. however, there are many Eng
lishmen ot good education but poor
medical knowledge who are Just as
ignorant as the rheumatic negro.
Quack Prescriptions.
“The majority of people would
be surprised to leam what most of
the medicines prescribed by these
quacks do contain,'* said the offi
cial. '“Here are Just a few exam
ples of quack medicines and what
they were found to contain:'*
Alligator Oil. said to cure squints
and cross-eyes—crude machine oil.
sold at from 60c to |3 a bottle by
the quack.
I Rheumatism Cures —. A medicine
containing only exude liquorice pow
der and water; an embrocation con
sisting of soft soap, ammcnla and
water; an "acid expeller" consisting
of weak lime Juice and soda, bought
at under $1 a gallon and sold at
|36 a tube; embrocation composed
of turpentine and eayenne pepper;
“special capsules'* filled with castor
oil.
“Many preparations announced as
‘certain cures* for digestive trou
bles," added the official, “have been
found to contain nothing but wa
ter and sugar.
Easy To Sell.
“Educated people are often more
gullible than the ignorant, we have
found from an investigation here.
All you have to do nowadays is to
talk about electricity, rays or ‘the
latest scientific discovery’ to sell
any sort of foolish nostrum to some
people.
“The law on the subject in Eng
land is unsatisfactory. The legal
assumption at present, based on
the principle of let the buyer be
ware. is that if the purchaser of a
patent medicine is deluded that is
his lookout. The results are often
disastrous to health.”
