William Swaim, having been cured of a disease, possibly venereal, by a physician's remedy, about 1822, ferreted out the ingredients, added to them oil of wintergreen for flavor, and extensively advertised his "panacea," especially through pamphlets decorated with a symbolic Hercules killing the hydra. Despite exposes published by medical societies of New York and Philadelphia, he continued manufacturing his nostrum, waxing immensely rich by the mid-century. Even in the 1930's Swaim's Panacea was still being sold. In the New York Academy of Medicine Library is a hand-written pamphlet announcing a "Hospital for Scrofulous and Syphilitic Incurables to be supported by Subscription," an articles of which states that Mr. James Swaim will supply to the indigent inmates, gratis, the "Panacea," which is to be "the principal medicine used." No less a talent than Edgar Allan Poe (in the Southern Literary Messenger of April 1849) took indirect aim at the audacious claims that Swain made for his panacea by asking this rhetorical question: "Are our most deserving writers to be forever sneered down, or hooted down, or damned down with faint praise, by a set of men who possess little other ability than that which assures temporary success to them in common with Swaim's Panacea or Morrison's Pills?" .
