Stories of marvellous cures spread their reputations far and wide. It was ever thus. Alex, Menthe, the famous doctc, o£ Scan Michele, tells in his book of a time when, with a view to weeding out unregistered practitioners, the Pre- fet de Police ordered all practition- ers in Paris to present their diplom- as fcr verification before the end of the month. They were after one man in particular who had a' very large practice, whom they suspected of be- ing a quack, but lie came and, show- ing his diploma, froni a well-known German university, 'implored the commissionaire to keep it secret as he owed' his large practice to the circumstance that he was considered by everybody to be a quack. Dr. Menthe thought this .mart would soon become a millionaire if he knew' his medicine as well as he did his psychology.
