Dear Sir-Although consider the reputa-
ton of your "Panacea" to be too well estab-
lshed to need further enconfium, yet Tor the
benefit of suffering humanity, am induced
to send you an account of the case OF Mrs. Ma
son, of this place, who has been cured OF a
dreadful scrofula, and raised from state OF ut
ter hopelessness and misery, to the enjoyment
of perfect health, by the use of few bottles
of your "Panacea." Mrs. Mason is about
90 years of age, and, until the year 1926,
always enjoyed good health. About this time
her health began t6 fail, and she observed tu-
mours to be forming on the breasts and lower
extremities. On one leg they rather appeared
like nodes on the bones. These tumors for
some time increased rapidly, were highly in
famed, and caused the patient the most ex-
crutiating pain. They soon began to run, and
eventually became deep ulcers of very ma
lgnant aspect. The disease made its most vi
o!ent attack on the breasts and one leg Of the
patient. Medical aid was now resorted to,
with what effect the sequel will show. BY
continued mercurial treatment, the ulcers, af-
ter considerable time, healed, and though
the general health Of the patient continued
poor, yet the medical attendant pronounced
her cured The affected parts still presented
the appearance offigh inflammation, and in a
short time the disease, which was only shut
up in the system, burst forth with redoubled
violence. Aboutthis time, (now the summer
of 1900 Mrs. Mason gave birth to a son, heir

ming sore; his head and face were one CONT
nuous scab, and the mouth and throat were G.
qualify affected with the exterior surface: the
muscles of the arms and legs became rigid,
and he lost the use Of one arm and leg. The
physician declared that it was impossible for
him to live; however the mercurial treatment,
in the end, dried up the sores, but failed COM
pletely in graduating the disease it had inhe-
rited from the mother. DR.. Kearney still
continued to prescribe for Mrs. Mason, but
with no permanent success. The disease had
now attacked the patients face: large scarlet
tumour made Its appearance on the forehead,
and soon extended to the nose, occupying the
space between the inner corner of each eve
The same powerful external applications were
directed against this tumour, but without any
success, and, like the others, it soon commenc.
ed running. The state of suffering to which
the patient was reduced, would battle the
powers OF language to describe. The disease
had now SO completely baffled the skill of the
medical attendant, that in the winter of 1897
his visits were discontinued, from thorough
conviction, as he himself declared to me, that
Mrs Mason was incurable; though at the same
time he acknowledged that ssSwaim's Pana-
cea'' might help her. The patient had for
some time complained of tingling pain along
the bones OF the leg, sure indication of carries,
and Dr. K. thought that amputation would be
necessary. 1t was at this crisis that wrote
to you, informing you of the situation of Mrs. |
Mason, and Der inability to purchase the me-
dlclne, when you sent her some and generous
ly undertook to supply the medicine until a |
cure should be effected. The patient imme-
diately commenced taking the "Panacea;"
and l narrowly watched its effects upon the
disease. Although l was thoroughly con-
WINGED OF the powerful efficacy of the ssPana-
cea,' in overcoming scrofulous complaints,
yet my faith Yves at first somewhat staggered.
This was case Of such peculiar obstinacy and
violence, it had completely bafled prescrip-
tlons that were considered the dernier resort
OF medical science, and set at defiance the
whole materia medica. The first bottle was
taken, without much apparent benefit, except
slight diminution of pain, and softening of
The edges OF the ulcers. Before the second
bottle was taken, the benefits were very ap-
parent: the ulcers were healing rapidly, the
Inflammation had IN great measure subsidized,
the patients appetite had improved, and she
once once more enjoyed the luxury Of sleep
ng well at night. The patient continued the
