BUDAPEST, Hungary, November 1.— | Quacks have flourished the world over since the beginning of time, and will continue to flourish so long as human credulity exists. An exhibition In progress here shows in a remarkable way the lengths to which quackery has gone. It is an old experience that after all world-shaking events man is especially rone to mysticism and more easily falls |victim to superstition and quackery. ‘This hes been manifest since the war. The present, therefore, was consid- ered propitious for a technical exhibi- tion to expose quackery; so the exhibi- tion was arranged to coincide with the annual Congress of the National Medi- cal Alliance at Budapest. The specific object is to present Hun- gary’s medico-ethnographical records of quack instruments and cruds curative methods employed by rustics, to com- pare quackery with scientific healing and to expose propaganda and adver- tising activities of quacks. The exhibition visitor is at once con- fronted with life-size figures of notori- ous quacks and popular healers. His attention is claimed by the gold saman, well known among certain Siberian tribes ‘related to the Hungarians and dwelling on the banks of the Amur, who believes he holds communion with spir- s when he is in a trance induced by the beating of his drum, and at such times effects cures on the advice of a spirit control. The American or European visitor is not greatly surprised by the claims of the gold saman, since his counterpart appears now in many guises and in as many cities. But one is amused by the figure of a man suffering from cholera- phobia, made from a seventeenth cen- tury English caricature, He carries, both attached to his clothes and piled on a hand cart he pushes before him, a mass of advertising matter relating to remedies f6r cholera and to various kinds of fumigators. The Chinsse Doctor. There isan excellent model of ‘a Chinese doctor’s dispensary, with the servant playing the mandolin, while in front of the house stand figures famil- far in Chinese towns—the blind masseur playing the flute, and the street doctor. Another well known character, faith- fully represented, is the wo quack of Hungarian villages, hol the satchel containfng her instruments and secret curative treasures. There is a group of the animals in- vested by Hungerians with occult pow- ers—the owl, the bat, raven and lumi- ‘| nous-eyed cat. Among exhibits representing curative methods of primitive peoples are Chi- nese, Negro, Paraguay, Ostyak and In- dian pipes, which, besides being used for pleasure, are held to be of yalue in treating the sick. With the pipes are displayed cigars wrapped in bamboo and palm leaves, bunches of tobacco, opium and a lamp ‘for lighting opium; also the areka deaf, scissors for cutting the nut, basins used for making betel and betel glasses.

Of ‘the amulets and talismans of Dr. Gez - Faludi’s collection, ‘the greater part serve as antidotes to the evil eye and enchantment, a cause of terror among primitive people from the ear- Test times. There is the bronze phallus, an - amulet favored by ‘the ancient Romans, the Italian manifica (hand with thumb between first and second “fingers) and corno (little horn), as well “h h;mm Byzantine amulets of glass plate. There are many kinds of coins, worn round the neck as talismans against &undice and ‘ plague. There § 1s dating from the begl of the sixteenth century, also a rich col- lection of the tables ‘of numbers (often in the Hebrew language) of the varicus planets used by the Cabalists. One . precious gold amulet . protects against poison and stabbing, and a small English silver coin' was used as a “touch piece” for the kxnr's evil, During the terrible epidemics rife in" the disease-ridden Middle Ages, the protection of the saints .was constantly invoked. And so it came about that nearly every complaint or disease was the care of some particular patron saint to whom ‘the affected person prayed, wearing ‘the patron’s portrait about his neck, on a medal. Medals of this char- acter comprise those of St. Benedict, St. Sebastian, St. Anastasius and St. George. There are also the medallions of ‘natuce healers and magnetizers. Many quaint things are to be found among the paraphernalia of protec- tive superstition, of which the follow- ing ‘are typical: A coffin nail,’ effica- clous azdinst earache; & wax goblet for persons with jaundice, a collar of buttons on tape warranted to cure an abscess,_bone powder pounded from a 7. & A Truly Popular Vanishing Cream .« Black and White Peroxide 2nishing) Cream is the choice ofthousands of beautiful women everywhere. h;s pure, sn cream gives a satin-smooth finish which seems a part of the skin’s texture, et protects it from dust and weather.
