DETROLEUM.-It is snecessary, 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 it 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 eertain
remedies produce certain impressions upon
these organs may he learned BY experience in a
short tims. 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
icine and attested its merits, il is our duty to
bring 1t before the public, that the benefits to
be derived from il, may be more generally diff
fused, but have no righ to hold back a remedy
whose powers are calculated to remove pain,
and to alleviate human suffering and disease.

which win be placed before you. If you stiIl
have doubts, go and ask those who have been

can swear for themselves. In writing about a
medicine we are aware that we should write
TRUTH-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 Ell
cacy Of this Remedy, who viii testify that the
PETROLEUM has done for them what no medi-
lcine ever could before--cases that were pro-
nouneed hopeless and beyond the reach o
remedial means---cases abandoned by Phvsi-
clans of unquestioned celebrity, have been
made to exclaim, This is the most wonder
ful remedy ever discoysredI" 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
troeum. about one year ago, many physicians
have been convinced Of its efficacy, and now
recommend it in their practice; and we have
no doubt that in another year it will stand at
the head of the list Of valuable Remedies. If
tine physicians DO not recommend il, the peo-
pie will have it Of themselves for its tran
scendant power 10 heal, iciH and must become

the cured speak out; when the cures them
selves, stand out in bold relei, and when he
/ who for years has suffered with the tortures
and pangs OF an immedirable lesson, that has
been shortening his days and hastening him
'to the narrow house appointed for an 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, or taken from it.
SCROFUbA.--The Petroleum is a 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
