DANGER OF QUACKERY.

A JUDGE'S CONDEMNATION. [Fuess Association.— Copyright] SYDNEY, Tuesday. Mr Justice Cohen, in the Supreme c Court, in summing up in an action for t damaces for alleged wrongful treatment ] brought by a farmer against a medical ' institute, mado use o£ strong remarks. * He said :— "There are occasions when, \ in the public interest, however strong ' the dosire of a Judge to preserve a mind utterly undisturbed may be, he \ should irive a fairly full expression of \ his feelings. This is- an occasion when ' the nubile interest calls for a frank and ( outspoken expression of opinion upon ] ■ the methods adopted at this institute ' by those concerned in its management. For cruel, cunning, unmeasured audacity and hypocritical pretence, I doubt whether the annals of the Court of this f'.tats disclose a ease to which the application of these epithets could be more justly applied. It is a strong illustration of man's inhumanity to imji. and shows how crafty, cunning and deigning men, in their hasta and hunger for money, can set at naught the feelings and sufferings of their fel-low-men, no matter what eacrilire may ha involved in their machinatio is. The circumstances of this case show to us humanity in one of its worst foims. Th<> whole atmosphere of the institution reeks with wickedness, and it is only ■ men with callous dispositions, with hearts of stone, steeled perhaps by hunger for money, who can '.'.adc uron > the- credulity of their fellow-iien as j tho proprietors of this institution p<v:od upon their fellow-men." j '
