A Quack in the Right Place, 1864. Artist: John Tenniel
A Quack in the Right Place; Or, What we Should Like to See, 1864. A quack doctor is pelted with his own preparations, together with carrots and the occasional dead cat. The potions ministered by quack doctors were almost always useless, and sometimes deadly. This cartoon accompanied an articles entitled How to Quash the Quacks. Three points were proposed: first that the Medical Council, which had the power to proceed against persons giving medical advice when not qualified to do so, should indeed take action. Secondly, the Courts should exercise their power to declare a nonsuit on any claimant of a fee for giving such unqualified advice. Thirdly, the press should not only refuse to print the advertisements of such quacks, but should expose their practices as much as possible. From Punch, or the London Charivari, 17th December, 1864
