CAUTION 70 PURCHASERS.

This medicine had been used for more than years
before an effort made to initiate 1t; 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
SarsapaTila and other syrups, imposing them on the
ignorant for the panacea others are mixing the gen''
inc medicine with moasses, &c., making three bottles
out of one; thus retaining Of its virtues others
form cures to obtain certificates give their own
reputation, &c. Some have resorted to perjury
to deceive the public. These limitations and adaitera-
tions have in many instances, protracted the suffer
ings of patients in diseases where the genuine Swams
Panacea would have proved instantly eficacious.
therefore deem it 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 nne, are fraudulent
impositions. WM. SWAIN
