CAUTION 70 PURCHASERS.

This medicine had been used for more than years
before an effort was made t. initiate it; but the great
demand for it, and its wonderful success have induced
great number of persons to initiate it in various ways
upwards of fifty different mixtures have been got
up in imitation of it, which is convincing proof of
its being medicine of great value. Some selling
sarsaparilla and other syrups, imposing them the
ignorant for the Panacea; others are mixing the geml
inc medicine with molssses, &C., making three bottles
out of one; thus retaining of its virtues others
are using the genuine Panacea in their bottles to per
form cures to obtain certificates to give their own
reputation, &c. Some have even resOrted to perjury
to deceive the public. These limitations and adultera.
tons have, in many instances, protracted the suffer
ncs of patients in diseases where the genuine Swams
Pansces would have proved instantly eficacious.
therefore deem it a duty owe the public to assure
them, that the composition of my Panacea is not
known Tor was it communicated to any other per-
son in any way whatever; and consequently, that all
other mixtures represented to be mine, fraudulent
impositions. WIN. SWAIN.

The following article (from the National Ga.
zette) is full of interest With the air and Incl.
dent of romance, it nevertheless bears the
strong impress Of truth. How manifold are the
evils of slavery!
THE DOMESTIC SLAVE TRADE.
Early in the spring of 1925, the writer of
this was one of $40 passengers on board
the steamboat George Washington, bound
from New Orleans to the Falls of Ohio. 1t
was no small compliment to this steamboat
that the Levee was covered with people
collected to witness its first departure.
She was literally three-decker, and two
powerful engines propelled her against the
current at the rate Of six miles an hour.
On the morning of the third day of the
voyage, a little before sunrise, we observed
a great fire some distance above, which, at
first, was supposed to be something burning
on land. 1t was soon ascertained to De a
steamboat; and presently came floating
upon us, the hull, the decks, the towering
freight of cotton glowing in one huge
magnificent finder. The helm of the w ash
ington obeyed the impulse of all on board,
and steered in the direction of this porten-
tous beacon. We approached so near it as to
be incommoded by the heat Conjecture
as to the fate of the crew, and concern for
the preservation of those who might survive,
animated every breast. The Washington's
course was directed TO the land, from
whence the burning boat appeared to have
drifted, with the hope of assisting such OF
the sufferers as might yet be ahoat or have
got to shore. The vessel had not coasted
far up that side Of the river, when man
was seen on a log at the waters edge-the
yawl Immediately went off, and returned
with him and young female. This person
was Mr.. Miles of Frankfort, Kentucky, a
wealthy and respectable merchant; he was
severely scalded and burnt He stated that
the unfortunate boat was the IeSche; that
she had full cargo Of cotton, and great
number of passengers, who were all asleep
when the vessel took fire and her boilers
burst; that such was the noise and con-
fusion, increased by the darkness of the
night, that he had no consciousness of any
thing that afterwards occurred, any more
than that he and the young lady had get to
shore on bales of cotton: doubtless many
others had gained the land by the same
means.
Proceeding up and turning the next point
OF land, we discovered groupe OF persons
near cabin on the bank many of them
appeared to be negroes, men ard women
The blacks were supposed to be slaves of
the adjoining plantations, attracted to the
spot by curiosity: it was this belief, | pre-
sumo, which dictated the order to the two
