The healthful balm from Natures secret spring,
The bloom Of health, and life, to man will bring;
As from her depths the magic liquid flows,
To calm our suHerings. and assuage our woes.
DETROLEUM.-Iti is necessary, upon the in
PRODUCTION Of new Medicine, to the notice
Of the public, that something should be said in
relation 70 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 YEAR,! Bot to understand that certain
remedies produce certain impressions upon
these organs may be learned by experience in a
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 anew med
icine and attested its merits, II is our duty to
bring it before the public. 50 that the benefits to
be derived from it, may be more generally diff
fused, but have no right TO bold back remedy
whose powers are calculated TO remove pain,
and TO alleviate human suffering and disease.
THE PETROLEUM HAS BEEN FULLY
TESTEDi About one year ago it was placed
| DERFUL EFFICACY, Every one not ac-
quainted with its virtues, doubted its healing
properties. The 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 70 walk
the blind to see. Those who had suffered for
years under the torturing pains, Of Rhelnma-
tis1l, Gold and Neuralgia, were restored to
health and usefulness. Several who were
blind have been made 70 see, the evidence of
which win be placed before you. If you still
have doubts, 90 and ask those who have been
cured Some of them live in our midst, and
can swear for themselves. In writing about a
medicine we are aTare that we should write
rRUrH-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, 60 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 we're pro-
nouneed hopeless and beyond the reach o
remedial means---cases abandoned by Physi-
clans of unquestioned celebrity, have been
made to exclaim, This is the most wonder
\ ful remedy ever discovsredr' We will lay be-
fore you the certificates Of some Of the most
remarkable cases; 70 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
recommend It 10 their practice; and We have
no doubt that in another year il viii stand at
the head Of the list Of valuable Remedies. II
the physicians 90 not recommend II, the peo-
pie will have it of themselves for its tran
scendant power TO heal, iriH and Hlltst become

the cured speak cut; when the cures them
selves, stand out in bold reliei, and when he
who fur years has suffered with the tortures
and pangs OF an immedieabe lesson, that has
been shortening his days and hastening him
"to the narrow 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 70, or taken from il.
| SCROFULA.---The Petroleum is a great
medicine in Scrofula and Kings Evil, in all
those diseases having their origin in depraved
condition of the blood and other fluids of the
body. II will cure pains and engagements in
the bones and joints, bOtches, biIes, erysipelas,
pimples on the face, letter, scald head. ring
worm, and the various skin diseases. II has
cured numerous eases Of Rheumatism, Neural
gia, Gout, &c. Several cases Sf Rheumatism
OF years standing. have been entirely cured.
A woman in Franklin ty, Pa, was cured
of Rheumatic affection OF seven years stand
ing; the disease was so aggravated as to con-
fine her to bed during the greater part OF that
time. She is now well and considers herself
entirely restored.
