[When quacks, as quacks may by good luck, to be sure]
AUDI ALTERAM PARTEM.
When quacks, as quacks may by good luck, to be sure,
Blunder out at hap-hazard a desperate cure,
In the prints of the day, with due pomp and parade,
Case, patient, and doctor, are amply display'd:—
All this is quite just—and no mortal can blame it;
If they save a man's life, they've a right to proclaim it:
321
Did they publish a list of the numbers they kill!
