    they still continue the use of it, and I have no doubt, with attention to diet and dress, they will be restored. My son, who is afflicted with an epilepsy, I must say, since he has commenced with your Panacea, has not had a single return of his fits, now more than five weeks; and since the commencement of his disease he has never before went over ten days without having them. And I can say, your medicine has done him more good than all that he has taken for the last three years. I have given him the two bottles that you sent me, and I should be glad to know if I must continue the use of it any longer, and if so, you will oblige me by sending another bottle, as I shall be directed altogether by your opinion. My son, a student of medicine, related a case to me this morning of a black man, that has had the King's Evil for four years, and is now cured by taking three bottles of your medicine, as directed by my son. The black man is a labourer, living about five miles from this place. I give you full liberty to publish this letter, if you wish it—or as much of it as you think proper. And if my name can be of any use in giving your Panacea that character which it deserves you may use it with plea- sure, and I shall ever feel it my duty to recommend it to the public. Yours, most respectfully, John Howell, M.D. FROM DOCTOR J. F. D. LOBSTEIN. J. F.

L , in this city, who had been severely afflicted for two years with a complaint, accompanied with excruciating pains in the joints, so as to render him almost unable to walk, was completely cured by the use of three bottles of Mr. Swaim's Panacea.—
