DETROLEUM-lt is necessary, upon the in
PRODUCTION Of new Medicine, to the notice
Of the public, that something should be said in
relation 10 its powers. in healing disease. and
the manner in which il acts. Mans organiza-
tion IS complicated one; and TO understand
the functions Of each organ, requires the study
Of years! But 20 understand that certain
remedies produce certain impressions upon
these organs may be learned by experience in
short tims. 1t Is bJ observation in watching
the effects Of various medicines, that We are
enabled to increase the number of curative
agents. and when we have discovered a new med

bring it before the public so that the benefits tc
be derived from it, may be more generally diL
fused, but have no right to hold back a remedy
whose powers are calculated to remove pairi.
and to alleviate human suffering and disease.
THE PETROLEUM HAS BEEN FULLY
TESTED! About one year ago it Sas placed
before the public as REMEDY OF WON
DERFUL EFFICACY. Every one not ac.
quainted with its virtues, doubted its healing
properties. The cry Of humbug was raised
against it. 1t had some friends. Those that
were cured through its wonderful agency -
These spoke out in its favor. The lame,
through its instrumentality, were made to walk
the blind to sec. Those who had suffered for
years under the torturing pains, Of Rhesagsa-
hsn1, G0iH and Neuralgia, were restored to
health and usefulness. Several who were
blind have been made TO see, the evidence of
which will be placed before you. II you still
have doubts, 90 and ask 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 /
TRUTH-that we should make no statements /
that cannot be proved. We have the witness |
es-crowds of them, who will testify in terms 1
stronger than we can write them, 10 the eff 4
caey Of this Remedy, who will testify that the 1
PETROLEUM has done for them what no medi-
cine ever could before--cases that were pro-
nounced hopeless and beyond the reach Of
means---cases abandoned by Physi-
clans Of unquestioned celebrity, have been
made to exelaim, "This is the most wonder
ful remedy ever discovsredr' We will lay be-
fore you the certificates Of some Of the most
cases; TO give them oil, 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
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. I'll
