/ PRODUCTION Of new Medicine, to the notice
Of the public, that something should De said IN
relation to its powers. in healing disease, and
the manner in which il acts. Mans otEaniza-
tion is a complicated one; and to understand
the functions Of each organ, requires the study
of yearsi But to understand that certain
remedies produce certain impressions upon
these organs may be learned by experience In a
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 new med
ieine and attested its merits, IL is our duty TO
bring it before the public 50 that the benefits to

fused, but have no right to hold back a remedy
whose powers are calculated TO remove pain,
and to alleviate human suffering aRd disease.
THE PETROLEUM HAS BEEN FULLY
TESTED! About one year ago it was placed
before the public as A 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 It's wonderful agency
These spoke out in its favor. The lame,
through its fundamentally, were made 10 walk
the blind TO sec. Those who had suffered for
years under the torturing pains, Of RheluraG-
him, Gotd and Neuralgia. were restored to
health and usefulness. Several who were
blind have been made TO see, the evidence Of
which viii be placed befoGe you. If 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-erowds of them, who will testify in terms
stronger than we can write them, TO the eff
cacy Of this Remedy, who will testify that the
PETROLEUM has done for them what no medi-
cine ever could before-cases that were pro-
nounced hopeless and beyond the reach OF
remedial means---cases abandoned by Physi-
clans of unquestioned celebrity, have been
made to exclaim, This is the most wonder
ful remedy ever discovsredf" We will lay be-
fore you the certificates of some Of the most
remarkable cases; to give them all, 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, aud now
recnmmen il in their practice; and We have
no doubt that in another year il viii stand at
the head of the list of valuable Remedies. II
the physicians DO not recommend il, the peo-
pie will have it of themselves for its tran
scendant power TO heal, lriH and must become
known and appreciated---when the voices Of
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 inmedicable 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
viii doubt it9 The Petroleum is a natural
Remedy; it is put up as it flows from the bo-
som Of the earth. without anything being ad-
6ed TO, or taken from il.
SCROFULA.--The Petroleum is a great
medicine in Scrofua and Kings Evil, in all
those diseases having their origin in deprayed
condition of the blood and other fluids Of fhe
body. 1t will cure pains and engagements in
the bones and joints, bOtches, biles, erysipelas,
pimples on the face, tetter, scald-head. ring
worm, and the various skin diseases. 1t has
cured numerous cases Of Rheumatism, Neural
gia, Gout, &c. Several cases Of Rheumatism
Of years standing, have been entirely cured
A woman in Franklin county, Pa, was cured
of Rheumatic affection of seven years stand
ing; the disease was so aggravated as TO con-
fine her TO bed during the greater part OF that
time. She is now well and considers herself
entirely restored.
