| SWAIM'S PANACEA is a Medicine of the
~ highest reputation: although such has been the
testimony Of long experience in the United States
that is but small part Of its celebrity Orders have
been received from sll parts Of the world. The pro.

Consul General to supply the Military Hospitals in
Porto Rico. This order given by the advice OF

From the Ne,u York Epening Postl
! We perceive by the Philadelphia papers that ar
ticle has appeared in the Medical Recorder tending
bring into dscredit the Psnacea discovered by Mr.
Swaim for the Of Scroula and other disorders OF
| the blood We decided enemies to all quackery;
whethe'in the politician, the lawyer, the divine, OF
medical practitioner We believe ti~t great portion
of those calling themselves Doccrs who have purchss
ed for few dollars diplomas from foreign Universities,
are imposurs; and consider most Of the extrsord.
nary cures with which most countries are inundated,
impuden fabrcsons, invented for the purpose Of ex.
torling money from the tinld and unwary. But while
we thus ayow our opinions of tbs class Of men, and
stigmatize their practices and their nostrums, we do
feel ourselves warranted to 60 all lengths with
ny medical practitioners, who consider every
qusck who has not gone through course Of regular
stddes and every thing he prescrbes as useless, nay,
dang erous, fit is not sanctioned by the faculty We
not great strangers to science as not to know,
that the virtues of many of the most valuable article,
us ss medicine, were discovered by individuals who
had no professions TO scientific knowledge, and the
most, if not all Of them, much of their imp0r-
lance to the classic names they have received: -
STRIP MEDICINE OF THE MYSTERY
WHICH HANGS OVER IT, IN CONSE-
OUENCE OF ITS PRESCRIPTIONS BE-
ING COUCHED IN A DEAD LANGUAGE,
AND WE ARE AFRAID 1T WOULD NO
LONGER CARRY WITH 1T THE IMPO-
SING CHARACTER WHICH IT NOW
POSSESSES.
AS we have no direct proof of udce orinterested
opposition in the conductors Of the Medical Recorder,
we shall not impugn the motive that induced them to
censure the use of MIR Swaims Panacea. But Ms we
are in possession of leading facts, which show, at
least that these writer's are unacqusinted with the
stcces sfa application Of the Panacea, and OF the cs
nation in which i, 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 inya able character Of his medicine This We
presume, known TO the conductors OF the Medical
Recorder, who must also been that the sttesta
ton Of such not to be put in competition with
those obscure and vena perssnages whose certificates
Of quackeries may be procured for trIie.
In addition to these testimonies, the PaDa-,ea has
Leen advocated by several eminent ply sicians in Phil
adelplia and WAS complinented, during one of the
lectures by q Professor of the PeIns, lvana Medical
College, who. in Noticing the extraordinary Cures
which had come under ms own observ alton, recon-
mended this medicine to his class valuable and
important discovery 1t has been introduced into the
phsdelphia Alns.House sn6 Hospital, and such were
it's surprising effects in the latter psce-its success

the Hospital, Dr. William Price, wssinduced 10 aban-
don his important and highly respectable office, from
the laudsble design ofbene6ng his fellow creatures
by carrying The Panacea to Europe.
But this is n all-m the city e N. York We have
had number of effected by the Panscea IN cases
oLere the utmost skill Of tie faculty had been tried in
rain and where the patients who had gwen up all
hopes of recovery. now entirely free from every
symptom Of the disorder. We could enumerate these
cases aud mention names Hut after what We nave
advanced and they sufficiently notorious, we do
not consider this necessary TO demonstrate the efficacy
of Mr. Swam's discovery. II, after these VARIOUS re-
commentators :herc should remain any incredibly,
we shall be inclined think. that those who persist IN
endeavoring discredit the Panscea have returned
to the state Of Adams ;gnorance-not knowing howto
distinguish good from evil.
