been for ten or twelve days without eating my right knee and right hand were much swollen ; I suffered all but death. I obtained a passage to Baltimore, and reached there in 33 days ; I was carried immediately to the Baltimore Hospital, and not expected to live until the next day. I remained there nine months ; finding myself somewhat belter, I came to Philadelphia, and went into the Pennsylvania Hospital the 12th June, 1S26; left there at my own request the 29th of November, 1826, and immediately came into the Philadelphia Alms House Infirmary ; after being here seven months,

all the time close confined to my bed, and when no more medicine was administered to me, I had no alternative but to try Sn'AiM's Pas ace Ay then it was I made known my si

tuation to you, and received one bottle of

your medicine, which was secretly conveyed

into thG ward by Mrs A. Snell ; in using it I

was obliged to use caution, ts the attending

better, and my appetite increased ; I slept

better ; after the second bottle the pam ceas

walk the streets on crutches, to the astonish

and many who saw me while sick, knew tni

not when they met me in the street. I can sa'ely say that I now enjoy good health, and

have ever since, having taken but one dose of salts since that time Swaim' Panacea

is entitled to the praise of my cure CM RLES DAVIS.

CJSF. OF CfUPLES I) J VIS.

The following affidavit exhibits the powerful cllicacy of Swaim's Panacea in Chronic . Jihcumatism. 'i bis extraordinary case places in bold relief the absurd, the infatuated prcjudire, of certain of lire faculty, or their mani iesMy wi'jked and unjust conspiracy to dcciy j :i,i invaluable medicine. It may perhaps humble tiic pride of science, but it will ade the interests, ami relieve the sufierings ol mankind, to have it known that when the

patent had been nearly cured by the introduc- ' j thn, by stealth, of my medicine, the medical J . attendants being ignorant of the agency of the p.macca in the cure, delivered clinical lecturrs on his ease, and built up a theory for the future treatment of Uhcumatism ; and have ' sent their students to all parts of the Union to 7 nractisr on their fellow creatures upon such

Jt unfounded theories. Po r Davis! he had S long pined and languisbe I under what is called regular treatment, and under it would

probably have descended I to the grave ; but happily for him he heard ol the Panacea He took it by stealth, and is alive to testify to its almost miraculous effects on him In former publications I have given cases of Rheumatism cured by this medicine, but if a knowledge of all those cures was utterly lost, and this case of Davis stood alone, I should feel entitled to pronounce the Panacea a specific in that prevalent k painful disease : and the man who could have, the hardihood to

deny the assertion must either undertake to f ' prove this statement, sanctioned by the soJ lcmnitv of an oath, to be false, or he must at-

f tempt to demonstrate, against reason and fact, V that the cure was merely accidental. II the delicacy of the patients would permit,

I hereby certify, that Charles Davis, the

person whose name is attached to the fore

Infirmary, in the spring of the year 1827, ailcY

at his request, I called on Mr. Swaim and ob

tained some of his Panacea I previously ex

pressed to Davis my opinion, that Swaima

Panacea would be of no use, as I considered

him more like a dying than a living man ; he

however urged mc so much on the subject that I finally consented to be the messenger

Mr. Swaim very politely gave his medicine

without charge, and I conveyed the first bottle, secretly, to Davis; he was then a patient

in the men s Clinical Ward ; the second hot

tie was taken in like manner by my daughter

while he was yet m the same ward. In the

July following he was pcrfctly restored to

health, and remains so, being entirely free
