Abstract
Amongst the many definitions of the word Quack that are found in Merriam Websters Dictionary or the Cambridge Dictionary, one in particular that characterizes a professional as an ignorant, misinformed, or dishonest practitioner of medicine can be found. A perspective on the designation of being called a "Quack" was clarified by the editor of the Dominion Dental Journal, William George Beers, 125 years ago.
