    SWAIM'S PANACEA. In order to make fully known in what estimation Swaim's Panacea is held by the medical profession, the proprietor subjoins certificates from gentlemen who, in their private as well as public characters, are deserved- ly ranked among the most scientific of our country. The public, as well as the proprietor of the Panacea, owe much gratitude to the gentlemen who have thus testi- fied in its favour—their recommendations have occa- sioned its use in various diseases, and particularly in cases of inveterate corruption of the blood, descending to the second generation, which otherwise would have de- stroyed many valuable lives. Their humanity and dis- interestedness in promoting the currency of a medicine found to be of such great benefit to the human race, without regard to its origin or ownership, claims the grateful admiration of a beneficent and enlightened pub- lic. This Medicine has the singular fortune, a just tribute to its great merit, of being recommended by the most cele- brated Practitioners of Medicine in the United States and Europe; whereas not one of the spurious mixtures, made in imitation of it, has the least support from the Medical Faculty. Tliis fact offers an argument so plain and con- clusive, that it needs only to be mentioned to enforce con- viction. CERTIFICATES. PROM DOCTOR N. CHAPMAN, Professor of the Institutes and Practice of Physic and Clinical Prac- tice in the University of Pennsylvania, President of the Academy of Medicine of Philadelphia, fyc. I have within the last two years had an opportunity of seeing several cases of very inveterate ulcers, which, having resisted previously the regular modes of treat- ment, were healed by the use of Mr. Swaim's Panacea; and I do believe, from what I have seen, that it will prove an important remedy in scrofulous, venereal, and mercurial diseases.
