The Supernatural Carc and a Fake Doctor Illusion
A satirical tale skewers a traveling healer who promises cures for money. He extorts fifty dollar sums for imagined stomach repairs, administers inhalations of root bags, and lures gullible clients into a sequence of increasingly absurd and costly procedures. The piece ends with the elderly couple ruined and the fraud exposed in comic, critical fashion. It also includes anecdotes about Judge Douglas and political frame analysis.
