The Doctor was extensively accused of
quackery, and on one occasion when the
Herald touched on the same subject, it
brought him to our office and he exhibited

The Doctor was remarkable for his
prolific display of jewelry and medals of
honor, and by his extensive display of
beard. He found a rival in this city in
the person of another French ``chemist,''

The Doctor was famous, also, for his
four-horse turnouts in Broadway,
alternating, when he saw proper, to a change
to the ``tandem'' style. He married an
Irish lady whom he at first supposed to
be immensely rich, but after the nuptials
it was discovered that she merely had a
life interest in a large estate in common
with several others.
