Uho Killed Tecunnseh?-At a recent
meeting of the New York Historical So
ciety, as we learn from the New York
Commercial .AdUertiser, Major Richard
son, formerly an officer in the British ar
my, read paper on the ''incidents of the
war OF 1912, embracing particulars con-
nected with the death of Tecumseh. -
The Commercial .3dUertiser says:
"Malor r. having been an eyewitness
of the most of the matters described, and
personal friend of the great warrior, his
narrative was of more than ordinary inter-
est, and commanded almost breathIess at
tention throughout. He related many
instances of generosity and chivalrous gal
lantry on the part of the Indian chief
which would have done no discredit to the
knights of feudal times. In relation TO the
manner of his death, Major r. is of opin-
ion that he fell by the hand of Col. John
ston. Such, he says, was the universal
understanding on the night of the battle,
when all the circumstances were fresh in
IN the minds of the witnesses, and he sees
no reason 10 dispute the fact at this late
day. The question, "Who killed Te-
cumsehE' may therefore be considered
settled
Major Richardson is known to the reads
ing public as the author of "Wacousta,"
"Ecarte," and other novels.

Read and Rehect-The afflicted would do
well to reflect before trusting their health, hap
piness, and in many cases their lives, in the
hands of physicians, ignorant of this class of
maladies 1t is certainly impossible for one man
to understand all the ills the human family are
subject to. Every respectable physician has his
peculiar branch, in which he is more successful
than his brother professors, and to that he de-
votes most of his time and study.
Years of Practice, exclusively devoted to the
study and treatment Of diseases of the sexual
organs, together with ulcers upon the body,
throat, nose or legs, pains in the head or bones,
mercurial rheumatism, structures, gravel, irreg-

or impurities of the blood, whereby the consti-
tuition has become enfeebled, enables the Doctor
to offer Speedy Relief to all who may place
themselves under his care.

WONDER OF WONDERS!
PETROLEUM, OR ROCK OIL.
"THere are more things in heaUen and earth,
Than are drednt of IN philosophu."

"There are more things in heaUen and earth,
Than are dreamt of IN philosophy"
The virtues of this remarkable remedy, and
the constant application for it. to the proprietor
has induced him to have it put up in bottles,
with labels and directions, for the benefit of the
public.
The Petroleum or Rock OIL is procured from a
well in Allegheny county, at depth of four
hundred feet, is pure unadulterated article,
without any chemical change, but justsas it flows
from Natures Great Laboratory! That it con-
tains properties capable of reaching number
OF diseases, is no longer matter of uncertainty.
There are many things in the arena of nature,
which, if known might be of vast usefulness in
alternating suffering and restoring the bloom of
health and vigor to many sufferer. Long be-
fore the proprietor thought of putting it up in
bottles, it had a reputation for the cure of dis
ease. The constantly and daily increasing calls
for it, and several remarkable cures it has per-
formed, is sure indication of its future popu-
larity and wide spread application in the cure
of disease.
We do not wish to make q long parade of GER
tiicates, as we conscious that the medicine
can soon work its way into the favor of those
who suffer and wish to be healed Whilst we do
not claim for it universal application in every
disease, we unhesitatingly say, that in a number
of Chronic Diseases it is unrivalled Among
these may be enumerated-all diseases of the
mucous tissues, such as Chronic Bronchitis, Con-
sumption lin its early stage,) Asthma and all
diseases of the air passages, LfUer Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Diarrhua, Diseases of the Bladder
and Kidneys, Pains in the Back or Side, Ner-
vous Diseases, Neuralgia, Palsy, Rheumatic
Pains, Gout, Erysipelas, letter, Ringworms,
Burns, Scalds, Bruises, Old Sores, &C., sc. In
cases Of debility resulting from exposure, or
long and protracted cases of disease this medi-
cine will bring relief 1t will act as general
Tonic and Atteratice in such cases, imparting
tone and energy to the whole frame, removing
distractions, opening the sluggish functions,
which cause disease and broken constitution,
and giving increased and renewed energy to all
the organs of Life! The proprietor knows OF
several cures of Pies that resisted every other
treatment get well under the use of the Petro-
leum or Rock OIL for a short time The proof
can be given to any person who desires it
