DETROLEUM.-Itis is necessary, upon the in
PRODUCTION Of a new Medicine, to the notice
Of the public, that something should be said IN
relation 70 its powers, in hesliug disease, and
the manner in which il acts. Mans orEaniza-
tion Is a complicated one; aud TO understand
the functions Of each organ. requires tne study
Of years! But to understand that certain
remedies produce certain impressions upon
these organs may be learned BY experience IN
short time. 1t is by observation In satehing
The effects Of various medicines. thar We are
enabled TO increase the number Of curative
agents, and when we have discovered q new med
ieine and attested its merits, II Is our duty to
bring IL before the public, that the Dement'S 10
be derived from il, may be more generally diff
fused, but have no right to bold back 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 A REMEDY OF WON
DERFUL EFFICACY, Every one not ac-
quainted with its virtues. doubted its healing
properties. TIE cry of humoug 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 RhetzTsa-
tisni, Gota 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 nsk those who have been
cured! Some Of them live in oar midst, and
can swear for themselves. In writing about
medicine we are agare that we should write
TRUTH-that we should maks 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 EN-
caey 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 exclaim. This is the most wonder

fore you the certificates Of some Of the most
remarkable cases; to give them sll, 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
recommen nd it ia their practice; and we have
no doubt that in another year it will stand at
the head Of the list Of valuable Remedies. II

who for yenrs has suffered with the tortures
and pangs OF an immedieab!e lesson, that has
been shortening his days and fastening him

will doubt itf The Petroleum is a natural
Remedy; il is put up as it flows from the bo-
som Of the earth. without anything being ad

SCROFULA.---The Petroleum is a great
medicine in Scrofula and Kings Evil, in all
