ofthe Treasury is already known TO our rea-
ders. The peculiar circumstances of this case
are Of themselves sufficient to convince every

CAUTION TO 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 wonderful success, have Undue ed
great number ofpersons 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 ofgreat value. Some are selling
sarsaPara and other syrups, imposing them OF the
ignorant for the Panaceai others mixing the gem
inc medicine with moasses, &c., making three bottles
out of ones thus retaining of its virtues others
are using the genuine Panacea in their bottles to per
reputation, &c. Some have even resorted to ner;,rv
to deceive the public These limitations and aduIters
tons have, in many instances, protracted the suffer
ingsof patients in diseases whe the genuine swss
Panaeea would have proved instantly eficacious.
therefore deem 1t duty owe the public to assure
them, that the composition of my Panacea is not
