nETROLEUM.-It is necessary, upon the in
tfoduetiou Of new Medicine, to the notice
Of the public, that something should be said in
relatlon 10 its powers, in healing disease, and
the manner in which it acts. Mans organiza-
ton is q 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 he learned by experiences IN a
short time. 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
ieiue and attested Its merits, IL is our duty 10
bring il before the public. 50 that the benefits to
be derived from il, 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
TESTED! About one year sgo il was 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 humbug 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 Rheluna-
tsTs, Gosa end Mesralgia, were restored to
health and Usefulness. Several who were
blind have been made TO see, the evidence Of
which will be placed befoIe you. II you still
have doubts, 20 and ask those who have oeen
cured. Some Of them live in OUR midst, and
can swear for themselves. In writing about
medicine we are aEare that we should write
rRuTH-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 we can write them, to the efi-
caey Of this Remedy, who will testify that the
PETROLEUM has done foy them what no medi-
cine ever could before-eases 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 discoveredr' 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
reeomme nd il in their practice; and we have
no doubt that in another year il 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
seendAnt power TO heal. tril and must become
known and appree.ated---when the voices Of
the cured spesS 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 hastening him
''to the marrow 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-
ded 10, OF taken from il.
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
boiY. 1t will cure pains and engagements in
the bones and joints. blotehes, biles erysipelas,
pimples on the face, tetter, seald-head. ring
