WONDER OF WONDERS!
PETROLEUM, OR ROCK OIL.
ssThere are more things IN hedcen and eGyfh,
Than are dreamt Of an plailosophy-

ss7'here are more things IN heGCen and earth,
Than are dreamat Of an oh'tosoPhy.
The virtues of this remarkable remedy, ana
the constant application for 1t, to the PROPRIETOR
has induced him to have it put up IN potties'
with labels and directions, for the benefit OF the
public.
The Petroleum or Rock OIL is procured from a
well in Allegheny county, at depth OF four
hundred feet, is pure unauthorized arucle
without any chemical change, butjust as 1t hows
from Natures Great Laboratory! That 1t con-
tains properties capable of reaching number
of diseases is no longer q matter of uncertainty
There are many things in the arena of nature,
which, if known, might be of vast usefulness IN
alleviating suffering and restoring the bloom OF
health and vigor to many sufferer. Long be-
fore the proprietor thought of putting 1t up III
bottles, it had reputation for the cure of dis
ease. The constantly and daily increasing calls
for it, and several remarkable cures it has per-
formed, is sure indication of its future popu-
larity and wide spread application in the cure
Of disease.
We do not wish to make long parade of GER
tifeates, conscious that the medicine
can soon work its way into the favor Of those
who suffer and wish to be healed Whilst we do
not claim for it u universal application in every
disease, we unhesitatingly say, that in a number
of Chronic Diseases it is unrivalled. Among
these may be enumerated-all diseases of the
mucous tissues, such Chronic Bronchitis, Con-
SuHpItoH TN It's SIdSe,J ASlnIHd, anu all
diseases of the air passages, LiUer Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Diarrhoea, Diseases of the Bladder
and Kidneys, Pains in the Back Side, Ner-
vous Diseases, Neuralgia, Palsy, Rheumatic
Pains, Gout, Erysipelas, letter, Ringworms,
Burns, Scalds, Bruises, Old Sores, &C., &C. In
cases of debility resulting from exposure, or
long and protracted cases of disease, this medi-
cine will bring relief 1t viii act as a general
Tonic and AHeratire in such cases, imparting
tone and energy to the whole frame removing
distractions, opening the sluggish functions,
which cause disease and broken constitution,
and giving increased and renewed energy to all
the organs Of Life The proprietor knows of
several cures of Piles that resisted every other
treatment, get well under the use of the PetrO-
leum or Rock oil, for short time. The proof
can be given to any person who desires it
