QUACKERIES’ PREVENTION, ETC.
Mr Hornsby’s Quackeries Prevention Bill has been read a second time in the House. The promoter of the Bill laid great stress upon the injury done by unrestricted sale of quack nostrums. The object of the Bill was solely to checkmate this and prevent the sale of noxious appliances or worthless and harmful drugs, the latter of which cost scores of infants their lives. We hope the Bill will become law. We have only one regret, and that is, that it does not contain a clause whereby inhuman abortionists —and these murderers are to be found in every community, so likewise are their victims, in every graveyard—could be seized on sight, dumped into the'uearest duck-pond, tarred and feathered, and finally branded on the forehead with the letter (, M.” These scoundrels are too slim for the law as it at present exists.
