A very true quote about mercury

I read this quote on BMJ....

" Quack is from the German word for mercury or quicksliver –

Quecksilber. The term was applied to Paracelsus and his followers

because of their extensive use of this metal.

Originally the word quack was applied to those who poisoned their

patients with mercury. Now it is falsely applied to those who refuse

to poison their patients.

Every intelligent patient reader will recognise to whom the term

really belongs(1). "
