DETROLEUM.-Itisn is necessary, rpon the in
PRODUCTION OF new Medieinesto the notice
Of the public, that something should be said in
relation To It's 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 years! But TO understand that ceftnin
remedies produce certain impressions upon
these organs may he 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 n new med
ieine and attested its merits, il is our duty to
bring it before the public. 50 that the benefits to
be derived from il, may be more generally diff
fused, but have no right to bold baeS a remedy
whose powers are calculated to remove pain,
and 10 alleviate human suffering and disease.
THE PETROLEUM HAS BEEN FULLY
TESTED! About one year ago it was 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 vas 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 see. Those who had suffered for
years under the torturing pains, of Rhe,zla-
tiSnl, G0aa 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, 20 and psk 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
TRgTH-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 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 OF
remedial means---cases abandoned by Physi- !
clans Of unquestioned celebrity, have been |
made to exclaim, This is the most wonder !
ful remedy ever discoysredr' 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, and. now
recommend il 10 their practice; and we have
no doubt that in another year il will stand at
the head of the list Of valuable Remedies. If
the physicians 10 not recommend IL, the peo-
pie will have it Of themselves for its tran
seendant power TO heal, triH and must become
known and appreciated---when the voices Of
the cured speak out; when the cures them
selves, stand out in bold reliei, and when he
who for years has suffered with the tortures
and pangs OF an immedicable lesson, that has
been shortening his days and hastening him
'to the narrow house appointed for all the li"-
ing' when he speaks out in its praise, who
will doubt IL! The Petroleum is a natural
Remedy; it is put up as it flows from the bo-
som Of the earth. withSut anything being ad
ded 10, or taken f.om it.
SCROFU nA.---The Petroleum is a great
medic:ne in Scrofula and Kings Evil, in all
ilose diseases having their origin in depraved
condition Of the blood and other fluids Of the
body. 1t viii cure pains and engagements in
the bones and joints, blotehes, bies, erysipeas,
pimples on the face, tetter, seald 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 :ured
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.
