CAUTION TO PURCHASERS.

This medicine had been used for more than years
before effort made t. initiate 1t; but the great
demand for it, and its wonderful success have induced
great number of persons initiate il in variou, ways
upwards of fifty different mixtures have Teen got
up in imitation of it, which is convincing proof Of
its being medicine of great value Some are selling
salsspara and othersyruPs, imposing them on the
ignorant for the panacea others mixing the gen-
inc medicine with moasses &c, making three bottles
out of ones thus retaining of its virtues: others
are using the genuine Panaces in their bottles to per-
form cures, to >obtain certificates to give their oW
repu alton, &c. Some have resorted to perjury
to deceive the public. These limitations and adutera-
tons have, in many instances proracted the suffer
ings of patients in diseases where the genuine SWANS
Panacea would have proved instantly efhcacous !
therefore deem it duty owe the public to assure
them, that the composition of my Panacea is not
known was il ever communicated TO any other per-
son in any way whatever and consequently, that all
other mixtures represented to be mine, are fraudulent
inn ositions WIN. SWAIN.
