354 RULES FOR GIVING MEDICINE. 
In all my researches to investigate the fraudulent patent 
medicines, and the frauds and malpractice of the allopathy, 
homeopathy, botanic, Thompsonian, eclectic, galvanic, clair- 
voyant quacks and quack-salver doctors, I have at last dis- 
covered that most of all of the great Eye Doctors, so 
called, is practicing the greatest frauds on the commu-

physicidn to cure them—he will send out some of his slaves 
and spy them out, leave all other business, matters not of 
how much importance, and follow slyly after them like a 
panther or wild cat, and will pounce upon them, even if it 
happens to bea poor orphan child—will gnash on them if 
he finds he cannot coax them, and if he can’t catch his prey 
_ who has escaped from bondage, he will pounce on the lady 
_ or gentleman, or any one that has helped the poor victim out
