COMMUNICATIONS.
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 hut small part Of its celebrity Orders have
been received from all parts of the world The pro-
pretor has recently received one from the Spanish
Consul General, to supply the Military Hospitals in
Porto Rico. This order was < wen by the advice Of
the most eminen, Spanish Physicians In that Islands
for unmportant article in the exports OF
country The proprietor considers it no despira.
bic ,riumph that an American remedy should be es
tcemcd by foreigners while there those Of his own
country endeavor'ng to condemn it.
From The New York Epeaing POSI-
We perceive by the Philldelphia papers that an ar
ticle has appeared in the Medical Recorder tending 10
bring into discreiit the Panacea discovered by Mr..
SWAIN for the Of Scrofula and ohcr disorders u!
the blood We decided enemies to all quackery,
whether in the politician, the lawyer, the divine, or
medical practitioner. VIZ believe that great portion
of those calling them ewes DOeiors, who have purchas
ed for few dollars unas from foreign Uaiy erses
are impostors and VIC consider most OF the extraord.
nary cures with which most countries are inundated
mpuden fabricaons, Invented fer the purpose Ct e.
turting money from the tHld aid unwsry But while
We ,hus avow our opinions of this class Of men, and
stigmatize their practices and their nostrums, We do
not ei ourselves warranted to go all engthsWh ma
ny medical practitioners who consider every man
q,ack WHO has not gone through course OF regular
,rIdes and every thing he prescribes as useless nay
are not great strangers to science as not TO know,
hat the virtues of many of the most valuable srtcles
used as medicine, were discovered by individuals Who
had no pretenscns to scientific knowl' dge, and the
most, if not all OF them, owe much ct Their 'mpor'
lance to the classic names they have received.--
STRIP MEDICINE OF THE MYSTERY
WHICH HANGS OVER 1T, IN CONSE-
OUENCE OF IT'S PRESCRIPTIONS BE-
ING COUCHED IN A DEAD LANGUAGE,
AND WE ARE AFRAID 1T WOULD NO
LONGER CARRY WITH 1T THE IMPO-
SING CHARACTER WHICH 1T NOW
POSSESSES.
As we have no direct proof Of pre- udice orintcrested
oppos,ion in The conductors OF the Medical Recorder
we shall not impugn the motive that induce them TO
censure the use of SIR Swaim's Panacea But as we
are in possession of some cang facts, which show, al
least that these writer's unacquainted with the
succe> sfu application Of the Panacra, and of the est
matt jon in which it is held b. intelligent individuals,
and eminent medical professors VIZ CnNCt'N =.
Tr WILL BE DOING AN ESSENTIAL
SERVICE TO THE PUBLIC TO MAKE
THESE FACTS GENERALLY KNOWN.
The testimony given OF its particular cures in tn.
book of Mr. Swain, ir which the names of gent, men
of the chest a'on appear, besr strong evidence
of the Invaluable character of his medicine. This
presume, known to The conductors vt The Medical
Recorder who must also been aware that the stests
tor OF such not to be put in competition with
these obscure and vcna pcrSOnayeS whose CERTIFICATES
of quackcrics may be procured for tr'he.
I'm addition to these Testimonies, the Panacea has
tcen advocated by several eminent physicians IN Phil
adclphis, and was comp!mented, during one OF the
lectures by Pruf. Of the Penns, vana Medical
College, whn in Lo'icing the extraordinary cures
which had come under his own observation, recon-
mended this medicine to his class a valuable and
;mporant discovery II has been introduced into the
phladelphia AlnsIlouse and Hospital and such were
its surpr sing effects in the latter p!ace-ts success
after il other me dicne had siledthat the surgeon d
the Hospital, DR.. Wilism PRICE, was induced 10 aban
don his important and highly respectable office, from
the lsuable de.gn Of bcncfng his fellow creatures
! by carving The Panacea to Europe.
But this il not all LII the city f ". York we have
had number of cures effected by the Panscea IN case

homes of recovery. are entirely free from ever,
symp,om of The disorder. e could enuInerae these
cases and mention names But after what We have
advanced, and as they sufficiently notorious, We de
no, cnns Ter this necessary 10 demonstrate the efficacy
of SIR saan,'s discovery. IT, after these Naiious re
CONNIE nations :here should remain any incredullty
we shall be inclined 10 think. that those who persist
endeayorng to discredn the Panaces, have returned
TO the state of Adams ignorance knowing hoWt
distinguish good from evil.
