The case detailed in the above certificate came under my
observations and believe Alderman Duanes statement Ia
be strictly correct. MIR. Swain showed me two othei
eases nearly similar, which cured by his Panacea
i after every olher remedy had failed,
Ayerse as am quaCkey, hope ever to be preserved
fom unjust and selfish prGldice; and therefore, do not
hesitate to give my name, confirmation of the efficacy
e and safety Of Mr.. Swams medicine
