DETROLEUM.-It is necessary, upoa the in
[ PRODUCTION Of new Medicine, to the notice
of the public, that something shouhi be said in
relation 10 its powers, in healing disense, and
the manner in which it acts. Mans organiza-
tion is a complicated one; and 10 understand
the functions Of each organ, requires the study
Of years! But to understand that certnin
remedies produce certain Impressions up9n
these organs may he learned by experience in n
short tim. 1t is by observation in watching
the effects of various medicines. that we are
enabled TO increase the number Of curative
agents and when we have discovered n new med
icine and attested its merits, il is our duffy to
bring il before the public. that The benefits TO
be derived from it, may be more generally diff
fused, but have no right to bold back a remedy
whose powers are calculated TO remove pain,
and TO alleviate human suffering and disease
THE PETROLEUM HAS BEEN FULLY
TES TED! About one year ago il was placed
before the public rs A REMEDY OF WON
DERFUL EFFICACY. Every one not nc
quainted with its virtues, doubted its healing
properties. The cry Of humbug was raised
ngninst it. II had some friends. Those that
we're cured through its wonderful agency -
These spoke out in its favor. The Lime

years under the torturins pains, Of Rtelr1la-
tisni, Golt and Neuralgia, were restored to
health and usefulness. Several who were

which viii be placed before you. If you still
have doubts, 90 and nsk those who have been
cured! Some of them live in our midst, and
can swear for themselves. In writing about
medicine we are aware that we should write
TEUTH-that we should make no statements
that cannot be proved. We have the witness
es-crowds of them, who will testify in terms
stronger than we can write them, TO the eff
caey of this Remedy, who will testify that the
PETROLEUM has done for them what no medi-
cine ever could before-cases that we're pro-
nounced hopeless and beyond the reach o
remedial means---cases abandoned by Physi-
clans Of unquestioned celebrity, have been
made to exelaim, "1his is the most wonder
ful remedy ever discovsred!' We will iay be-
fore you the certificates Of some Of the most
remarkable cases; TO give them al, would re
quire more space than would be allowed by this
circular. Since the introduction Of the Pc
troleum. about one year ago, many physicians
have been convinced Of its efficacy, and now
recommend il in their practice; and we have
no doubt that in another year it will stand at
the head Of the list of valuable Remedies. II

pie will have it Of themselves for its tran

the cured speak out; when the cures them
selves, stand out in bold relief, and when he
who for years has suffered with the tortures
and pangs OF an immedicable lesson, that has
been shortening his days and fastening him
''to the narrow house appointed for all the liv-
ing" when he speaks out in its praise, who
win doubt it! The Petroleum is natural
Remedy; il is put up as it flows from the bo-
som Of the earth. without anything being ad-
ded to, or taken from il.
SCROFULA.---The Petroleum is a great
