SwaiM's Panacea.
COMMUNICATIONS.
SWAIM'S PANACEA is a 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 re celved from all parts OF the world The pro-
prietor hiss recently received one from the Spanish
Consul General, to supply the Military Hospitals in
Porto Rico. This order was given by the advice OF
the most eminent Spanish Physicians In that island; it
now forms not ulmportan article in the exports OF
our country The proprietor considers 1t no despca.
Bile triumph that an American remedy should be es'
teemed by foreigners while there are those OF his own
country endeavoring to condemn 1t.
From The NeuU York Evening Postl
We perceive by the phiadelphla papers that an ar
tcle has appeared in the Medical Recorder tending to
bring into dscredit the Panacea discovered by Mr.
SWAIN for the cure of Scrouls and other disorders OF
the blood We are decided enemies TO all quackery,
whether in the politician, the lawyer, the divine,
medical practitioner. We believe that great portion
of those calling themselves Doctors, who have purchas
ed for few dollars diplomas from foreign Universities
are mpostor; and consider most OF the extrsordI-
mar, cures with which most countries inundated,
mpudent fsbrcatiohs invented for the purpose Of ex
tor,ng money from the timid and unwary But while
we thus opinions OF this class OF men, aud
strmstze their practices and their noetrums, we do
not feel ourselves warranted 10 go all lengths nh
ny medical practitioners, who consider every man
quack who has gone through course OF regular
studies, and every thing he prescribes as useless N.Y.
dang eros lift is not sanctioned by the tacnny We
are great strangers to scfence as not to know,
that the virtues Of many of tie most valuable articles
used as medicine discovered by individuals who
had no pre,eusiuns TO scientific knowledge, and the
most If not all Of them, owe much OF their inpor'
to the G nv the: EHE
WHICH HANGS OVER II, in CONSE-
OUENCE OF IT'S PRESCRIPTIONS BE-
ING COUCHED IN A DEAD LANGUAGE.
AND WE ARE AFRAID II WOULD NO
LONGER CARRY WITH 1T THE IMPO-
SING CHARACTER WHICH 1T NOW
POSSESSES.
Aswe have no direct proof of prejudice interested
oppostion in the conductors of the Medical Recorder
we shall not impugn the motive that Induced them to
censure the use of MIR. Swains fanacea. But rs We
are in possession of leading facts, which show at
least, that these writer's unacquainted with the
successful application Of the Panacea, and of the esti
nation in which i, 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 it's particular cures in the
book OF MIR Swain, in which the names Of gentle men
of the highest putson appear bear strong evidence
&C the inyalu able character OF his medicine. This, We
presume was known to the conductors Of he Medical
Recuricr who must also been aware That the sttesta
ton Of such MOTTO be put IN competition With
those obscure and yenal personsses whose CERTIFICATES
OF ouackeri.s may be procured for trhe,
In addition TO these Testimonies, the Panacea has
eep advocated by several eminent ply scians IN Phil
strlnhia, and was comp'mented, during one Of the
lectures by Professor Of the Penns lvanIs Medical
College, who. in houcing the extraordinary cures
| which had come under his own observation, recon-
| mended this medicine To his class valuable and
;mnortant discovery Il has been introduced into the
phadelphia AlmsIIOuse and Hospital, and such were
it's surprising effects in the latter plsce-its success
after all otht edicne bad failed that the surgeon OF
the Hospital, Or. iain Price, was induced 10 aban.
don his importan, and mighty respectable office, from
the laudable design of benehtng his fellow creatures,
by carrying the Panacea to Europe.
Ru, this is not all-ln the city e N. York we have
had number Of effected by the Psnacea tn cases
,pLeyete utmost skill Of the faculty had been tried u
min, and where the patients who had given up all
hopes Of recovery. entirely tree from every
svmptom Of the disorder. We could enumerale these
| cases and mention names. But after what we nave
advanced, and as they sufficiently notorious, we dc
not consider this necessary demonstrate the eflicsc,
of Mr. Swaim's discovery. IT, after these aiious re
ommendstons there should remain any incredulity
we shall be ncued TO think. that those who persist ~
endeav cring discredt the Panacea have returned
TO the state of Adams ignorance knowing how tc
distinguish good from evil.
