Swaim'S PanaCea.

From the Philadelphia Ersning Post]
HAVING made the proper inquiry, we can vouch for
i Il the accuracy of the statement contained IN the
subjoined communication No should hesitate to
bear Just evidence the merits of medicine like that
of Mr. SwAIM's, which would to be very ditier.
ent from the nostrums OF the day
To the Editors of the Saturday Erening Post.
DIR 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 foundit decdly beneficial in chronic ofSyph
lis. &c. and that he had known patients who had Ia
bored under this disease for length of inc, and tired
almost every remedy commonly employ ed 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 resora On
to robust health from state Of the most miserable
weakness and infection, wherein repeated saiNauons
had produced only the mischief incident to the use OF
mercury He spoke likewise of Mr.. Swain, personal
y, acknowledging the generosity which be mao SHOWN
in the distribution of bis medicine to the poor, and I'D
the support even ofwhole families untl cure was Ell
fected The Professor mentioned that he had been
censured by Surgeons and Physicians for recommend
inc the Panacea of SWAIN 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 iODhNi'
Nh. We think it our duty to say, that are sur
nr;sed IN find that number Of spurious mixtures have
been ont I'm lately in imitation OF this valuable
medv and that several strangers have beer injured by
the mistake We would advise all persons who in
want of such remedy, to apply where the genuine is
known to be had hEUiSus.

a4lnR important Lottery.--Itl has bee

'lss An important Lottcry.--It has been
computed that, among ten thousand peo-
plo, the average deaths will be one day.
If this computation be accurate, a, person
in common health has daily risk Of dying,
which, compared with the chances Of life,
is in the same proportion as an unit bears
to the number 1899. This risk is. SEEM
Iingly so. small that it commonly gives no
alarm, andlis scarcely Thoughts Of where's
as il the same risk were placed on, differ
emit ground, SO as 10 be seen. in another
light, it would be generally alarming. Sup
pose, for instance, that tomorrow morning
a lottery were to- be drawn, of this kind |;
9,999 white balls, and one black bal, should
be thrown promiscuously into box, and
thatHten thousand people, you and among
the number, should each pus in a hand and
draw out q ball at random, and whoever
CHANGED to draw the black ball should IN
evitably suffer death within - hours: +
say, IL we knew such lottery were to be
drawn Tomorrow morning, and we must
take our chance, il would doubtless produce
in Us some serious approximations, aud might
probably interrupt our sleep tonight.
