CWAIM'S PANACEA is a Medicine of the
~ highest reputation: although such has been the
testimony of long experience the United States yet
that is but small part of its celebrity Orders have
been received from all parts of the worlds The pro
prietor has recently received from the Spanish
Consul General to supply the Military Hospitals in
Porto Rico. This order given by the advice OF
the most eminent Spanish Physicians In that island; II
now forms not an unimportant article in the exports OF
our country The proprietor considers it no despca
BILE triumph that an American remedy should be es
tcemed by foreigners, while there are those OF his own
country cndeavoring to condemn IT.
From lie Ne,U York Epening PoStl
We perceive by the Philadelphia papers that an ar
tice has appeared in the Medical Recorder tending TO
bring into discredit the Panacea discovered by sir'
Swain. for the of Scrofua and other disorders OF
the blood we decided enemies to all quackery,
whether i'll the politician, the LAWYER the divine, OF
medical practitioner. We believe that great portion
of those calling Themselves Doci0rS who have purchas
ed for few dollars omastram foreign Universities,
are mpostors; and consider most OF the eXtraOrd
nary cures, with which most countries are inundated,
impatient fabricaiions, Invented Tor the purpose Of ex
tor,ing money from the timd and unwsry. Bu, while
We thus avow opinions Of this elias, of men, aud
stig matize their practices and their nostrums, do
not feel ourselves warranted to go all lengths with
nv medical practitioners, who consider every a
q,,sck who has gone through of regular
studies and every thing hr prescribes useless, nay
dangerous, tit is not sanctioned by the faculty. We
great strangers to science as not to know,
that the virtues Of many OF the most valuable articles
used as medicine, were discovered by individuals who
had no professions to scientific knowl, dye, and the
most, If not all Of them, owe much ct their 'mpor-
tance to the classic names ,hsv have received
STRIP MEDICINE OF THE MYSTERY
WHICH HANGS OVER III, IN CONSE-
QUENCE OF IT'S PRESCRIPTIONS BE-
ING COUCHED IN A DEAD LANGUAGE,
AND WE ARE AFRAID III WOULD NO
LONGER CARRY WITH 1T THE IMPO-
SING CHARACTER WHICH 1T NOW
POSSESSES.
Aswe have no direct proof of prejudice orinteresed
oppostion in the conductors OF the Medical Recorder,
we shall not impugn the motive that induced them to
censure the use of Sir Swsims Panacea. But as we
are in possession of some lealng facts, which how at
least, that these writers unacqlainted with the
ssful application of the Panacea, and of the est
nation in which it is held by intelligent individuals,
and eminent medical professors. WE CONCEIVE
TT WILL BE DOING AN ESSENTIAL
SERVICE TO THE PUBLIC TO MAKE
THESE FACTS GENERALLY KNOWN.
The testimony given of lite particular cures in the
book of Mr. Swain. in which the names OF gent men
OF hig hest reputation appear besr strong evidence
of the invalu able character OF his medicine. This We
nrcsume was known to the conductors at the Medical
Recor,ier who must also been aware that the httest
ton Of such not to be put in competition with
those obscu and venal percentages whose certificates
OF quackeries may be procured tor trihe.
In addition to these testimonies the Panacea has
teen advocated by several eminent physicians ~ Phil
adelphia, aud was compimented, during one OF the
lectures by i'ruf ssur of the pcnnsJ lysnia Nercs

But this i, not all-In the city f ~ York we have
