THE ANTI-QUACK BILL.

TO THE BDITOE.

Sir,-^-Having read the provisions of the Quackery Prevention Bill I cannot help .but come to the conclusion that it is simply selfishness on the doctors' part that the Bill was brought forward. I think it is time that the people .were enlightened on this suibject, and made to realise whq is the •quack and who is the doctor. ■There are several unregistered men m the colony who aro doing: as noble a work as any registered man. It is simply the name that goes so far with some people. What is the good of a name and title without the ability 5 People send their sons to college to. study medicine whether they are talented for it or not, the consequence is that the public suffer through the yountr man being put to -the wrong profession, and I say what is that man but a q-uack, and who suffers? Why, the public. If the doctors are any good why should they complain about the so-called quacks ; cannot they hold their own? It is a very selfish Bill and I hope the Government will think seriously and take into consideration the men who are doing good after doctors having failed, and not treat everyone as frauds, except doctors, and they can do their share.— l am, Ac, . __ _ FREEDOM.
