Twenty Years a Detective in the Wickedest City in the World
Wooldridge, Clifton R. (Clifton Rodman)
Crime -- Illinois -- Chicago; Police -- Illinois -- Chicago
Hansen was sued by a former patient and nearly four hundred dollars
recovered, quite recently. The man was absolutely free from any
disease, but was frightened into paying that amount to get rid of an
imaginary one.
He is a common, cheap, medical swindler.
These are Positive Facts.

SWINDLER A "DOPE" FIEND.
The above advertisement is that of Dr. C----. C---- himself is out of
the game. He is a dope fiend. A few months ago he narrowly escaped the
penitentiary for taking $225 from a sixteen-year-old child. He was
fined $200 in the Municipal Court, paid it and quit the business.
Previously, however, he had sold the use of his name to Dick Williams,
owner of several of the so-called medical offices along State street.
Williams changes his doctors every few days, so that a patient hardly
ever sees the same man twice. Each man makes an effort to "re-fee"
the patient--that is, they try to extract more money in the way of
fees, claiming that the other "doctor" did not grasp the severity of
the case. It is not unusual for a patient to pay half a dozen fees
in the same office before he drops onto the fact that he is being
systematically robbed.
The main object of advertising cheap is to get the people into the
office and started on the treatment. Money is demanded at every visit
and new "diseases" discovered as long as the credulity of the patient
lasts.
