Maria instantly approached the disappointed child, drew his curly head towards her and silently kissed his forehead, while the doctor read the printed label, then without moving a muscle, said as gravely as ever: "Morpurgo isn't the worst of quacks, the remedy he prescribes here may do the young lady good after all." Adrian had been nearer crying than laughing.
The well-head and "consecrated" thrice-accursed chief fountain of all those waters of bitterness, it is they, those Solemn Shams and Supreme Quacks of yours, little as they or you imagine it! Them, with severe benevolence, put a stop to; them send to their Father, far from the sight of the true and just, if you would ever see a just world here!
Medical humbugs constitute a very critical subject indeed, because I shall be almost certain to offend some of three parties concerned, namely; physicians, quacks, and patients. But it will never do to neglect so important a division of my whole theme as this.
"But I employed the best physicians and specialists, and they all agreed that he had hereditary consumption and was incurable." "Most of these physicians are numbskulls and quacks." "Do you call Professor Chas. William Canterbury of the University of Canterbury a numbskull or quack?" "Eh, no, of course not."
He poured contempt over political economy as "that science which quacks have corrupted, which pedants have obscured and which academicians have depreciated." France, he said, has something better, and he declared in conclusion, "The needs of the people will no longer be spied upon in order that the commercial classes may arbitrarily take advantage."
And to feel base, yet born for better, is enough to make one grasp at anything cloudy. Suppose the hero with a game leg. How intense is his faith to quacks! with what a passion of longing is he not seized to break somebody's head! They spoke of Italy in low voices. "The time will come," said she. "And I shall be ready," said he. What rank was he to take in the liberating army?
The great preventive of crime, is the fear of detection. There are quacks in other professions as well as in mine, and people should lay the blame where it belongs, upon the quacks, and not upon the profession. In the evening I received a letter from Madam Imbert, telling me of the difficulties in the way of White's receiving the money.
Greatly superior to him as an artist and a thinker was Thackeray, whose fame has been steadily increasing, the greatest master of satire in English literature, and one of the truest painters of social life that any age has produced; not so much admired by women as by men; accurate in his delineation of character, though sometimes bitter and fierce; felicitous in plot, teaching lessons in morality, unveiling shams and hypocrisy, contemptuous of all fools and quacks, yet sad in his reflections on human life.
To the astrologers of the 17th century, the quacks and impostors of the beginning of the 19th are only equal.
Hippocrates, when he ridiculed the quacks of his day, and collected the facts and phenomena of disease, and inferred from them the proper treatment of it, was as much the father of induction as Bacon himself. The error the ancients made was in not collecting a sufficient number of facts to warrant a sound induction.
