| CERTIFICATE OF DOCTOR EDWIN A. ATLEE,
| .Ifeaaber of the Phladeiphia slfelical Society.
The case detailed in the above certificate came under my
observation and believe Alderman Daanes statement TO
he strictly correct. Mr.. Swain showed me two other
cases nearly similar which cured by his Panacea,
after every other remedy had failed
Averse as am quackery hope ever to be preserved
om unjust and selfish prejudice; and. therefore, do not
esiiate to give my name in confirmation OF the efficacy
and safety OF Mr.. Swaim's medicine.
