Letter: Beware of charlatans
A friend recently spent around $100 for a group of bottles of pills purported by the seller to be helpful to a medical quirk she suffers. The pills were taken to the family physician, who pronounced them to be neither harmful or beneficial, but were probably made mainly of dried beef broth.By: Emily Burt, The Republican Eagle
To the Editor:
A friend recently spent around $100 for a group of bottles of pills purported by the seller to be helpful to a medical quirk she suffers. The pills were taken to the family physician, who pronounced them to be neither harmful or beneficial, but were probably made mainly of dried beef broth.
It seems to me that transaction took place between a vulnerable adult and a charlatan.
I am 74 and feel that because of my age, people often think it possible to get something advantageous to themselves with no or little benefit to me. I would like to warn people by this letter.
