As from her depths the magic liquid hows,
To calm our suheringt. and sssuage our woes.
DETROLEUM.-It is necessary, upon the in
l PRODUCTION Of new Medicine, to the notice
of the public, that something should be said in
relation TO its powers, in healing disease, and
the manner in which il acts. Mans orraniEa-
ton is a complicated one; and to understand
the functions Of each organ, requires the study
Of years! Bot to understand that certain
remedies produce certain impressions upon
these organs may be learned BY experience in
short tim.. II 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 q new med
ieine and attested its merits, il is our duty to
bringit before the public, 50 that the benefits to
be derived from it, may be more generally diff
fused, but have no right to bold back remedy
whose powers are calculated to remove pain,
and to alleviate human suffering and disease
THE PETROLEUM HAS BEEN FULLY
TESTED! About one year ago il vas placed
before the public as A REMEDY OF WON
DERFUL EFFICACY. Every one not &C.
quainted with its virtues, doubted its healing
properties. The cry Of bumbag va. raised
against it. II had some friends. Those that
were cured through its wonderful agency -
These spoke out in its favor. The lame,
through its fundamentally, were made 10 waIk
the blind to sec. Those who had suffered for
yean under the torturing pains, Of Rkelsna-
fFHl, GoUt aud Neuralgia, were restored to
health and usefulness. Several who were
blind have been made 70 See the evidences Of

have doubts, 20 and ssk 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
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-
nouneed hopeless and beyond the reach Of
remedial means---cases abandoned by Physi-
clans Of unquestioned celebrity, have been
made to exelaim. This is the most wonder
ful remedy ever discoyered.n We will lay be-
fore you the certificates Of some Of the most
remarkable cases; 10 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 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
the physicians do not recommend il, the peo-
pie will have it Of themselves for its tran
scendant power to heal, tcin and must become
known and appreeiated---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 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
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 ad
ced to, or taken from ii.
