To the Editors Of the Saturday Erenfng Posf:
DIR Gibson Professor of Surgery in the University OF
PENNSYLVANIA in his Lecture of Monday last, spoke
h;rh terms of Swam's Panacea. He remarked that he
had found it decdly beneficial in chronic cases ofsyph
lie e,c and that he had known patients who had Ia
horcd under this disease for length of 'me and tried
almost every remedy commonly employed for its cure,
with yerv little if any effect but who, after using the
panacea. recovered quickly and entirely. He related
several instances of rapid and extraordinary restoration
" robust health from state of the most miserable
,reakness and Infection wherein repeated savatons
h,d produced only the mischief incident to the use Of
mercury. He spoke likewise Of Mr. Swaim personal
X. acknowledging the generosity which he had shown
+; the distribution of his medicine to the poor, and in
the support even ofwhoe families until cure was eff
fsctedF The Professor mentioned that he had been
eenslred 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 Gifts eff.
cacious character. hSIUDENI.
n. B. We think it duty to say, that we are sur
nr;sed to find that number of spurious mixtures have
been got up lately in imitation Of this most valuable
medv and that several strangers have been injured by
the mistake. We would advise all persons who are in
want of such aremedy,to apply where the genuine is
known to be had. hEDlCVS.

Among the many advantages this estate possesses, are
the following, viz:
Its remarkable heathness, compact situation, (being

the other three lines recently established and marked,
controversy about which, never occur the ease
and small expense with which the produce be ship
ped to market the society of the neighborhood beng
equal to any in the state for peace and harmony, the
steamboat from Washington to Potomac Creek, pass
ing every day, during the season. within three
or four miles off, and the boat from the former place,
to Norfolk and Richmond, once aweek by this seat so
that any person owning the property above every
day, and any person below, once week, visit It,
The river, for mile or more in extent affords fine
beach and deep water for seine hauling, for winter,
spring and summer fish, to any extent desred and the
bank for half or that distance is an nexhaustble bo
dy of rich shell mar (he quality of which has been
satisfactorily tesed,) easily, and comparatively with
Little expense, with machine which have erected

The quality of the land is very good, and we'll adapt
