The healthful balm from Natures secret spring.
TIE bloom Of health, and life, to man viii bring;
As from her depths the magic liquid flows,
To calm our suHerings, and assuage our woes.
DETROLEUM.-It is necessary, upon the in
| PRODUCTION Of new Medicine, to the notice
Of the public, that something should be said in
relation &c 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 years! But to understand that certain
remedies produce certain impressions upon
these organs may be learned BY experience in
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, that the benefits to
be derived from it, may be more generally diff
fused, but have no light TO hold bacS a 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 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. Tae cry of humbug was raised
against il. 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 10 walk
The blind to sec. Those who had suffered for
years under the torturing pains, of RIeula-
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, go and rsk those who have been
cured! Some Of them live in our midst, and
can swear for themselves. In writing about a
medicine we are aEare 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
caey 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 o
| remedial menns---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 oil, would re
quire more space than would be allowed by this
circular. Since the introduction of the Pc
troleuD:. about one year ago, many physicians
have been convinced Of its efficacy, and now
recommend it in their practice; and We have
no doubt TINT in another year it will stand at
the head of the list of valuable Remedies. If
the physicians DO not recommend it, the peo-
pie viii have it of themselves for its tran
seendant power to heal, iciH and ElitSt 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
viii 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
6ed TO, or taken from it.
SCROFULA.---The Petroleum is n great
medicine in Scrofula and Kings Evil, in all
those diseases having their origin in a depraved
condition Of the blood and other fluids Of the
body. 1t viii cure pains and enlargements in
the bones and joints, bl0tches, biles, eryspelas,
pimpes 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.
