seraphically languishing. It was a model face for a
quack.--Carlyle, _Life of Cagliostro_.

CASE (_Dr. John_), of Lime Regis, Dorsetshire. His name was Latinized
into _Caseus_, and hence he was sometimes called Dr. Cheese. He was born
in the reign of Charles II., and died in that of Anne. Dr. Case was the
author of the _Angelic Guide_, a kind of _Zadkiel's Almanac_, and over
his door was this couplet:

Within this place
Lives Dr. Case.

Legions of quacks shall join us in this place,
From great Kirl[:e]us down to Dr. Case.

Garth, _Dispensary_, iii. (1699).

CLARKE, noted for his "world-famed blood-mixture" (end of the nineteenth
century).

COCKLE (_James_), known for his anti-bilious pills, advertised as "the
oldest patent medicine" (nineteenth century).

FRANKS (_Dr. Timothy_), who lived in Old Bailey, was the rival of Dr.
Rock. Franks was a very tall man, while his rival was short and stout
(1692-1763).

Dr. Franks, F.O.G.H., calls his rival "Dumplin' Dick,".... Sure the
world is wide enough for two great personages. Men of science
should leave controversy to the little world ... and then we might
see Rock and Franks walking together, hand-in-hand, smiling, onward
to immortality.--Goldsmith, _A Citizen of the World_, lxviii.
(1759).

GRAHAM (_Dr._), of the Temple of Health, first in the Adelphi, then in
Pall Mall. He sold his "elixir of life" for [pounds]1000 a bottle, was
noted for his mud baths, and for his "celestial bed," which assured a
beautiful progeny. He died poor in 1784.

GRANT (_Dr._), first a tinker, then a Baptist preacher in Southwark,
then oculist to Queen Anne.

Her majesty sure was in a surprise,
Or else was very short-sighted,
When a tinker was sworn to look after her eyes,
And the mountebank tailor was knighted.

_Grub Street Journal._

(The "mountebank tailor" was Dr. Read.)

HANCOCK (_Dr._), whose panacea was cold water and stewed prunes.

[Asterism] Dr. Sandgrado prescribed hot water and stewed
apples.--Lesage, _Gil Blas_.

Dr. Rezio, of Barataria, would allow Sancho Panza to eat only "a few
wafers, and a thin slice or two of quince."--Cervantes, _Don Quixote_,
II. iii. 10 (1615).

HANNES (_Dr._), knighted by Queen Anne. He was born in Oxfordshire.

The queen, like heaven, shines equally on all,
Her favors now without distinction fall,
Great Read, and slender Hannes, both knight
