DETROLEUM.-Itisn is Necessary, upon the in
PRODUCTION OF new Medicine, to the notice
of the public, that something should be said in
relation 10 its powers, in healing disease, and
the manner in which IL acts. Mans organiza-
tion Is complicated one; and to unders tand
the functions of each organ, requires the study
Of years. But to understand that eertain
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 70 increase the number OF curative
agents. and when we have discovered a new med
ieiGe and attested its merits, II is our duty to
bring il before thepublie, 50 that the benefits to
be derived from il, may be more generally diff
fused, but have no right TO bold back remedy
whose powers are calculated 90 remove pain,
and TO alleviate human suffering and disease
THE PETROLEUM HAS BEEN FULLY
TES TED! AbOut one year ago it was placed
before the public rs A REMEDY OF WON
DERFUL EFFICACY, Every one not ac
quainted with IFS virtues, doubted its healing
properties. The cry OF humbug was raised
against it. IL had some friends. 'Thuse that
were cured through It's 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 Rhelnna-
tisHl, Gold and Neuralgia, were restored to
health and usefulness. Several who were
blind have been made 20 see, the evidence Of
which viii be placed before you. II you still
have doubts, go and ask those who have been
cured! Some of them live in our midst, and
can swear i1r themselves. In writing about
medicine we are aware that we should write
TRUTH-that we should max. 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 eff
cacy Of this Remedy, who wit testify that the
PETROLEUM has done for them what no rledi-
cine ever could before--cases that we're pro-
nounced hopeless and beyond the reach

Clans Of unquestiOned celebrity, have been

ful remedy ever discoveredr' We will lay be-
fore you the certificates Of some Of the most
remarkable cases; 70 give them al, 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 win stand at
the head of the list Of valuable Remedies. III
the physicians DO not recommend it, the peo- !
pie will have it Of themselves for its tram
