CAUTION 70 PURCHASERS.

This medicine had been used for more than years
before an effort was made to 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
I'M IN imitation of it, which IS convincing proof OF
its being medicine of great value. Some are selling
ignorant for the Panaces; others are mixing the genu
inc medicine with molasses, &C., making three bottles
ont 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
renutation &c. Some have even resorted to perjury
to deceive the public. These limitations and adultera-
tons have, in many instances, protracted the suffer
nps of patients in diseases where the genuine Swams
'Psnscea would have proved instantly eficacious.
therefore deem it duty owe the public to assure
them, that the composition of my Panacea is not
