ENGLISH JUDtcArURr.

Complaints in England, against the dlatorncss
and expense of Chanccry, have been from time i'm
memorial, grievous. That there has ALWAYS been
great for them, the report of many cases de-
laycd beyond belief and until all the original par
ties had long paid the debt of naturc and ;nvolyin,
the most enormous AMI runous expense, has sufsci-
enty proved. Laucr,y these complaints have sw al-
led in humber and lou'ireS". TO such degree we
believe rs have provoked the ntcposit.on OF Par
lii,pcmt The present Lord Chancellor, Ellon has
su stained rcproach, Commensurate with the cxtend-
ed suffering, occasioned 10y the slow admins, ton
of Justice from the Wocsack. The reiterated md
incrcasing of the public have led to an in
vestiga,ion, exhibiting the most curious results
which, whilst they confirm the rcasonablcncss of
public complaint, by showing the existence Of eau
sa, necessarily productive of delay and expense az
the same time cxculpate Lord Eon from being in
atru,ncntnl in producing them. These results are
not merely curious, as showing the prodigious in-
crease of litigation in Ensland--but as exhibiting
the great Increase. OF those causes, which indie.
always lead to it-viZ the National Debt and
huricns-the great extension Of Mercantile business

Caution to the Public!!
SWAIM'S PANACEA.

THE Justly acquired celebrity of this
most valuable Medicine, has heretofore made It
a blessing to the afflicted in many complaints,
and a source of cmoiument of DIR. Swain, but
the good which has been done is now to be con.
verified into an evil, and indeed threstens the
community with many evils, if they do not care
fully put themselves on their guard against the
impositions of those who would pervert the best
things to the worst purposes.
which hal bid defiance to the most emf
nent Surgeons in England and America, and could
find no real benefit until relieved by he Panacea:
Il know, feel in all my bones its worth and go"d
and sincerely desire that others may
feel and acknowledge it as do. never would
have given myself any trouble in the matter. but
Il have seen attempts made most grossly and
shamelcssly to impose upon the public.
In the newspapers NOW before me are two gross
attempts At cheating the public into the use OF
spurious medicines offered to the public, as the
GENUiNE SWANS PANACEA. To add Q
deeper dye 10 the fraud, the certificates of Some
of orr professors, fairly and honoursbly obt aimed
by DR.. Swain, are printed, to give credit and cur
rency to the false and spurious medicine. am
warranted in saying that the respectable profess
sional gentlemen whose names are tins abused,
are exceedingly dissatisfied that they should be
thus dragged in, and, ~ it we're, made parties to
Il fraud.
Two men, and there are more, each advertise
that they have discovered the composition OF
Swaim's Panacea, and to induce purchasers the.
nut to their advertisements the certificates OF nu
most respectable professors, written Tor, and Ia
ken from, the advertisements OF Swalm's Pam
cea; this ! suppose is forgery. do not know
that in my knowledge have ever known more
barefaced attempts at imposition than those me,
who have never ban known to do any good. e.
|ther by medicine or advice, men indeed who are
wholly unknown, presume to say that they Cal
manufacture and mix and compound one OF th'
|best medicines of modern times; AND to disguise
their trash, they pour it into bottles and make
lit up with certificates that were never given fo'
lit, but expressly given to promote the Circulation
|of medicine known to be Of the best kind, ant
the usefulness of which has been severely tested
not only by individuals but by our Hospitals, Poo'
houses, Prisons, and other Public Institutions.
Ny object in writing this is to put the public
on their guard against the frauds and impositions
which the vices or necessities OF vicious mel
would put upon them. Some are selling the Sy
lr,,p of Sarsaparlla, and imposing It on the igno
rant tor Mr.. Swaim's, which they can make them
selves for fifty cents q bottle The Panacea o
