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 chronic cases ofsyphi
lis &C. and that he had known patients who had la
bored under this disease for length of tme and tried
almost every remedy commonly employed tor Its cure,
with very little if any effect but who, after using the
Panacea. recovered quickly and entirely He related
several of rapid and extraordinary restoration
to robust health from state of the most miserable
weakness and infection, wherein repeated sayations
had produced only the mischief incident to the use of
mercury. He spoke likewise of Mr. Swain, personal
ly. acknowledging the generosity which he had shown
in the distribution of his medicine to the poor and in
the support even ofwhole families until eff
fected. The Professor mentioned that he had been
censured by Surgeons and Physicians for recommend
ing the Panacea of Swaim 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. STUDENT.
N. B. We think it duty to say, that we are sur
nrsed to find that number 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 aremedy.to apply where the genuine is
known to be had. MEDICUS.
