I recently purchased an early Swaim's Panacea which I believe may
have been made at the Kensington Glass works. This is a very early embossed
medicine. I recall seeing a newspaper advertisement for this product dated 1828.
It's quite an interesting history. I wasn't aware that it began as the Philadelphia glass
works, became the Kensington glass works and was eventually bought out by Thomas
Dyott.
