AZ the request of W. Swain, hereby certify, that
in the few cases have seen his panacea gNeh,
have observed great benefit derived from its USE and
psrticuarl, in the Of Il. c. Tregomane, who was
Tor many years a cted with very inveterate ulcers
that were dee med incursbe BY ali Of the eminent sur

ton she was, in September 1921 admitted patient
in the Pennsylvania Hospital and had the advice Of
all the surgeons of that benevolent ns.Ston, ~huu.
receiving any relief when she began the use OF the
panacea, Which, to the surprise Of all who witnessed
it's effects restored her to good health in two mo'tl.
In October 1925 she was discharged from the Hosp
tai perfectly cured.
From observing the wonderful effects OF swa'm's
panacea, in r. c. Tregomane's case and from several
