HtAUrIoN To TRAVELLIsRS GOING


~ SOUTH-HALIFAx, N. c. October 10Th, 1870
We, Undersigned, passengers from baltimore South
here by caution the public against the
made by the Bay Line of Steamboats, and the Ports
mouth and Roanoke fail road from baltimore via Nor
folk, to Weldon, ~ c. in favor of their unrvaed expe
dition.
We assured that the Bay Line was the only line
BY which passengers could reach the Wilmington raj
road at Weldon, thereby leaving the mpressien that
the only by which passengers could reach the
Wilmington rail road; and also we would be twenty
four hours in advance of the passengers by the Great
Mail Line. But 10 great establishments on arriving
at WedOnwe too late for the for Wilmington
and Charleston; and instead of being "twenty-four
hours in advance of the mail" we were threWn back
tweru- i0iIr hours behind n.
IL Is trie the BAY Line, via Portsmouth, is the only
line now running TO Weldon, but passengers BY The
Great Mail Line are landed by steamboat II Halifax a
point equally pleasant, the Wilmington rail road
several miles below Weldon.
If there had been any unavoidable accident 10 prevet
our getting through IN time we would most willingly l.
the detenioH but nothing Of the kind occurred
the night on the bay calm and pleasant as we
ever Witnessed and nothing prevent the steaaboa,
gliding the s0ou surface of the water as fast as
steam could drive rs.
II seems TO US, therefore, that, as they hare failed in
complying with their promises even under the mesf IA
vcrabie circumstances the traveller place but little
reliance on their fair promises their flaming hand
bills.

As long rs these limitations were confined TO mixtures

gross receptions practised by unprnciped men, in
hndng spurious syrup for the ''genuine Swain PAN
eea we cannot too strongly caution the public to avoid
purchasing our medicines from any but tie most respect
able sources.
Its difficult to detect many instances the actual
perpetrators of these impOsitions, spurious nixs
lures are the more generally the Inferior and to
foreign countries.
Some time back, we detected fraudulent nitationi
New-Hork, closely resembling own but the bot,les
were labelled William Swaa, instead of WILLIAM
SWAIN.
More recently we have found bottles cast n mould
precisely like our own, but "swaiu's Panscea'' New

Hehave received repeated advices from he West 10

Gus IN Sire: and Of the Thousands of bottles of Swa's
ranacea ANNUALLY sold ia our principal cities, we
collect u very fey of the empty bottles, they are
aItf; of in various ways TO defraud the proprietor
rSs ceive the public.
We hs known instances of three bottles being made
out "i one, by mixing portion of Sarsapa,ila Syrup
with the genuine Swaims Panacea, thereby retaining
onie OF us virtues.
In Philadelphia lately, large order was received by
amereane house for Swalin's Panaeea bottles: mould

From all these circumstances it win be seen hat h
