SPECTATORS
EDwARDsvlLLE. OCTOBER 20, 1896.

I The present number completes the
. seventh year Of the existence OF the Ed
zDdrdsviAe Spectator, and the frs, of its
publication under our direction. II is
customary for editors, on such occasions,
to sli down in the elbow chair, 7ve use
the term figuratively) draw their patrons
around lhern, and hold little serious,
sociabIe chat with them on matters and
things in general, but on hccuniary mat.
tiers in special. Divers good and suffi-
cisn reasons thereunto moving us, al.
though we opine that some oil our pa
irons will think it custom "more hu-
nored III the breach than in the observ.
ance," we shall fall into the old fashion,
and beg our subscribers to lend us their
ears" or eyes little while on subjects of
momeptous intcres,,-to us.
In the first place, we know not but
this may be the last time that any of our
lucubrations shall stake their flight on
the wings of the Spectator Human
events are uncertain. We cannot tell
what shall be tomorrow. In our case
thc difficulty lies in discovering the depth
Of our friends pockets, and the ease
with which the precious metals can be
raised by our delving.

We can hint, or intimate, or suggest,
or declare to our indebted subscribers,
that I've want money and cannot do with

make the application themseIves.-To
make short story of it;-one of the edi-
tors, at least, is about 10 withdraw from
the establishment; and as it so happens
that he is the person to whom the I'm.
paid subscriptions are due, and as, in the
prosecution OF the business he has been
under the necessity of contracting debts
for which he is individually responsible,
IT becomes Of the utmost importance 10
him that payment should be promptly
made. 1t is earnestly hoped that, after
eyesr's confinement at lard labor for the
public good, he will no, now be lef,
without remuneration and involved in
debt, by the delay of bis patrons in pay
ing the little pittances ssveralIy due
from them, which, il collected together,
would make considerable sum.
Whether the Spectator shall be reviv.
cd will depend on the liberality which
The public may manifest in its support.

molasses, &c. making three bottles out of one-thus
retaining some ofts virtues. These limitations and adul
teraons, have in many instances protracted the suffer
ings of patients in cases where the genuine medicine
would have proved instantly eficacious therefore
deemit duty owe the public, to acquaint them,
that it is impossible, from the very nature OF its consti
tuens, to be discovered by chemical analysis; and con,
sequently, that all other mixtures represented to be

10 me Editors OF the saturday Erenng fosl:
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 decidly 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 the 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 ofwhole families until cure eff.
fected The Professor mentioned that he had been
censured by Surgeons and Physicians for recommend
ing 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 ofits eff
cacious character. ASTUDENT.
N. B. We think it our 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
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 is
known to be had. MEDlCUS.
