Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 22, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 November 1907 — Steer Clear of Medical Quacks. [ARTICLE]

Steer Clear of Medical Quacks.

Advertising tendered this paper by the Cleveland Institution of Medicine and Surgery, who will send represedtives, alleged specialists, here within the next ten days, has been turned down, and the draft for $2.50 returned to the company. It is our opinion that these socalled specialists are in fact a set oi traveling quacks and this opinion is based on the very cautious wording of their advertising, which is done to evade the Indiana laws regulating the practice ot medicine. These people use a lot of salve in their advertising, telling how they will not treat you if you are being treated by a local physician and also-saying they will treat you entirely free qf charge, and that they wiU give you no medicine but after returning to Cleveland will put yon under treatment. i They would not be allowed, until licensed in this state to give'medicine, and they are systemmatically planning tojevade the law, the very purpose of whieh is to shut out quack and traveling fake doctors. Persons will do well to steer clear of these self-professed specialists and the Republican advisee its readers to refuse them even a hearing.
