DR. Gibson, Professor of Surgery in the University of
Pennsylvania, in his Lecture of Monday last spoke in
high terms of Swaim's Panacea. He remarked that he
had found decdly beneficial in chronic ofSyph-
lis, &c. and that he had known patients who had la.
bored under this disease for length of lime, and tried
almost every remedy commonly employed for its cure,
with very little if any effect, but who after using the
Panacea, recovered quickly and entirely He related
several instances of rapid and extraordinary restoration
to robust health from state of the most miserable
weakness and infection, wherein repeated salivations
had produced only the mischief incident to the of
mercury. He spoke likewise of Mr.. Swain, personal
y, acknowledging the generosity which he had shown
in the distribution of his medicine the poor, and in
the support even ofwhole families until cure eff
fected. The Professor mentioned that he had been
censured by Surgeons and Physicians for recommend
ing the Panacea Of Swam but that he thought duty
which he owed to suffering humanity not to withhold
the expression of his opinion and experience ofts eff
cacious character. ASTUDENT.
N. B. We think it duty to say, that we are sur.
prsed to find that number of spurious mixtures have
been got up lately, in imitation of this most valuable re-
medy, and that several strangers have been injured by
the mistake. We would advise all persons who are in
want of such remedy, to apply where the genuine
