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 remarke ed that he
had found decdy beneficial chronic cases of ypli.
lis, &c. and that he had known patients who had Ia.
bored under this disease for aength 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 salvations
had produced only the mischief INCIDENT to the use Of
mercury He spoke likewise of Mr.. Swain, personal
y, acknowledging the generosity which he had shown
in the distribution of his medicine to the poor, and in
the support even of whole families until cure was eff
fected The Professor mentioned that he had been
cens,red by Surgeons and Physicians for recommend.
inc the Panscea Of Swain, but that he thought it duty
which he owed 70 suffering humanity not to withhold
the expression of his opinion and experience ofits eff
cacious character. olODENT.

p CANFIELD, Manager.
Imay not, perhaps, be necessary to assign any fur-
tber reasons for this short postponemen than are con-
tanned in the above. The MANAGER would, howev-
err beg leg leave to add that when this class was rs
sued few persons If any, anticipated in the least, the
late panic in the money market which has almost para
lived everyknd of business, and has caused such SIN
gular and unprecedented stagnaton in trade: Inc
distress of capitalists and moned institutions has not
been confined to any sing state in our confederacy'
but has been severely felt from one extremity OF the
country to the other and has been general IN OF
the Oldest and wealthiest foreign countries. And
will not be considered matter of surprise, that the
same causes which have induced so recently the post
ponement of the drawing of All important lottery should
have similar effect OIL ofmuch greater magnitude
But it is hoped that happy change for these reverses
has already commenced AND that all classes OF our c
the returning tide of prosperity. The scheme now Of
ered is by far the attractive and splendid OF any
ever presented to the public in the United States; and
many very many who adventure therein will certainly
be rewarded with princely fortunes or handsome addi'
tons to what they already possess.
Those who have not vet taken interest IN this Lot
tery now have an additional opportunity offered them;
and they are respectfully reminded, that BY promptly
purchasing chances in this most splendid scheme they
illinsure early distribution ofth rich prizes con-
tainsas the lottery shall positively be drawn as soon
as the sale of tickets will justify; and the prizes paid

strong though silent argument in ia
YOUR of his claim, Stone and cholic
pleaded their violence, plague srapid

the court was disturbed with the noise
Of music, dancing, feasting, and rev.
eIry; whenimmediateIy entered lady,
with a bold lacivious air, and flush
ed jovlal countenance; she was attend
