Unparalleled success, has induced number of persons

Some time back, we detected fraudulent imitation

were labelled William Swain, instead OF WILLIAM

More recently we have found bottles cast n a mould
precisely like our own, but "Swam's Panacea" New

We have received repeated advcss from he West IN
dia islands that empty bottles purchased up at
high RAT u.s. for the purpose of Iellng them with spU

Panacea annually sold in principal cities, we can
collect nut very few of the empty bottles, they

We hive known instances of three bottles being made
out Of one by mixing portion of Sarsaparila Syrup
with the genuine swaims Panacen, thereby retaining
ONE of its virtues.
In philadelphia, lately large order was received by
amercanle house for Swain Panacea bottles: mould
in imitation of own was made, and the order
