SWAIM'S PANACEA is Medicine of the
~ highest reputation: although such has been the
testimony of long experience in the United States yet
that is but small part of its celebrity Orders have
been received from all parts of the world, The pro-
prietor has recently received from the Spanish
Consul General, to supply the Military Hospitals in
Porto Rico. This order was given by the advice Of
the eminent Spanish Physicians In that Island; it
forms not unmportant article in the exports OF
our country The proprietor considers it despics-
bic triumph that an American remedy should be es'
teemed by foreigners while there those of his
country endeavorng to condemn it.
From the Ne,u York Euening Post]
We perceive by the Phsdelphia papers that an ar.
cle has appeared in the Medical Recorder, tending 10
bring into dscredit the Panacea discovered by Mr.
SWAIN for the cure of Scrola and other disorders OF
the blood We are decided enemies to all quackery,
whether in the politician, the lawyer, the divine, or
medical practitioner We believe that great portion
of those calling the mselves DocOrs who have purchas
ed for few dollars diplomas from foreign Universities,
are mpostors; and consider most OF the extraordI-
nary cures with which most countries are inundated,
mpuden fbrcstions invented for the purpose OF ex-
torng none, from the timd and unwary. But while
we thus avow our opinions OF tbs class OF men, and
stigmtize their practices and their nostrums, do
not feel ourselves warranted to all lengths with ma.
ny medical practitioners, who consider every man
qlsck who has not gone through course OF regular
sudes and every thing he prescrbes as useless, nay
!
great strangers to science as not to know
tina, the virtues of many Of the most valuable articles
used as medicine, were discovered 10y individuals Who
had no pretensons to scientific knowledge, and the
most, if not all Of them, owe much OF their mPor'
lance to the classic nsmes they have received -
STRIP MEDICINE OF THE MYSTERY
WHICH HANGS OVER 1T, IN CONSE-
OUENCE OF ITS PRESCRIPTIONS Be
ING COUCHED IN A DEAD LANGUAGE,
AND WE ARE AFRAID IL WOULD NO
LONGER CARRY WITH 1T THE IMPO-
SING CHARACTER WHICH IT NOW
POSSESSES.
Aswe have no direct proof Of prejudice or interested
opposition in the conductors the Medical Recorder,
we shall not mpugn the motive that induce them to
censure the use Of Mr Swain's fanacea Bu as We
are in possession of leading facts, which show at
least that these writers unacquainted with the
application of the Panscea, and Of the cst
nation in which it is held by intelligent individuals,
and eminent medical professors. WE CONCEIVE
1T WILL BE DOING AN ESSENTIAL
SERVICE TO THE PUBLIC TO MAKE
THESE FACTS GENERALLY KNOWN.
The testimony given Of its particular cures IN the
book of Mr. Swain, in which the names OF gentlemen
of the highest reputation appear bear strong evidence
of the inval able character of his medicine Ths we
presume, known to the conductors OF the Medical
Recorder who must also been aware that the attests-
ton Of such not to be put in competition with
those obscure and vena personages whose certificates
of quackcries may be procured tor tribe.
In addition to these testimonies the Psnacea has
Leen advocated by several eminent physician IN Phil
adelphia, and was complImented, during one OF the
| lectures by Professor Of the Pennsy lvauia Medical
College, who. in Noticing the extraordinary cures
which had come under his own observation, recon-
| menled this medicine to his class valuable and
important discovery. 1t has been introduced into the
Philadelphia Aims House and Hospital, and such were
It's surprising effects in the latter plsceits success
after all uhc dicne had failed that the surgeon OF
the Hospital, nr. ilam Price, induced 10 aban.
don his important aud highly respectable Office, from
the laudable de,gn ofbeneiting his fellow creatures
by carr, ing the Panacea to Europe.

| cases aud mention names But after what we have
advanced and AS they are sufficiently notorious. We do
not consider lsnecessary to demonstrate the efficacy
| of Mr. Swaim's discovery 1t, after these vaious re
CONNIE nrstions there should remain any incredibly,
we shall be inclined to think that those who persist ~
endeavoring to discred the Panscea, have returned
to the state of Adams ;gnorance-not knowing how Ia
distinguish good from evil.
