[ PRODUCTION Of new Medieine,to the notice
nf fbe 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 a complicated one; and TO understand
the functions Of each organ, requires the study
of wears! But to understand that certain
remedies produce certain impressions upon
these organs may be learned BY experience IN
short tims. 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 a new med
'ieine and attested its merits, il is our duty to
bring il before the public, so that the benefits to
be derived from it, may be more generally diff
fused, but have no right to hold back a remedy
whose powers are calculated to remove pain,
and TO alleviate human suffering and disease.
THE PETROLEUM HAS BEEN FULLY

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. fhOse that
were cured through lis wonderful agency -
These spoke out in its favor. The lame,
through its instTumentality, were made 10 walk

years under the tortufing pains, Of Rheimla-

health and usefulness. Several who were
blind have been made 70 see, the evidence Of
which will be placed before you. If you stin
have doubts, go and ask those who have been
cured. Some Of them 1--we in our midst, and
can swear for themselves. In writing about
medicine we are aware that we should write
rRUTII-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
cacy Of this Remedy, who viii 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

clans Of unquestioned eelebrity, have been
made to exelaim, This is the most wonder
i ful remedy ever discoysredrr We will lay be-
fore YOU the certificates of some Of the most
4 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, and now
recommend 1t in their practice; and we have
no doubt thai in another year il will stand at
the head nf the list Of valuable Remedies. II

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

''tO the narrow house appointed for all the liv-
ing" when he speaks out in its praise, who
will doubt it, The Petroleum is a natural
Remedy; it is put up as it flows from the bo-
som Of the earth. without anything being nd
ded to, or taken from it..
SCROFULA.---The Petroleum is n great
medicine in Scrofua and Kings Evil, in al
those diseases having their origin in a depravec
condition Of the blood and other fluids of tht
body. 1t will cure pains and engagements in
the bones and joints, bl0tches, biles, erysipelas
pimples on the face, tetter, scald-head. ring
worm, and the various skin diseases. 1t ha,
cured numerous cases Of Rheumatism, Neural
gin, Gout, &c. Several cases Of Rheumatism
of years standing, have been entirely cured
, A woman in Franklin county, Pa, was cured
of a Rheumatic affection Of seven years stand

fine her to bed during the greater part Of tha
; time. She is now well and considers hersel
entirely restored.
