Title: Quackery, Dutch Medical Satire, 18th Century
Caption: An 18th century quack "De Wonderdokter Fop" with Dutch text, illustrated by Hermann van der Moolen. "In de oorlog en nam 'ik een kapitein Drie kogels uit de borst; De man ging dood, en 'k had vergeefs Mij met zijn bloed bemorst." (In the war, I took a captain Three bullets from the chest; The man died, and forgiven me with his blood in vain.) Quackery is the promotion of unproven or fraudulent medical practices. Random House Dictionary describes a "quack" as a "fraudulent or ignorant pretender to medical skill" or "a person who pretends, professionally or publicly, to have skill, knowledge, or qualifications he or she does not possess; a charlatan".
