WONDER OF WONDERS!
PETROLEUM. OR ROCK OIL.

ss7'here are more things IN heaUen and earth,
Than are dreanat Of IN phitosoPhy
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 just as it flows
from Natures Great laboratory That 1t con-
tains properties capable of reaching number
of diseases is no longer a matter of uncertainty.
There are many things in the arena of nature,
which, if known, might be of vast usefulness IN
alleyiating suffering and restoring the bloom OF
health and yigor to many sufferer. Long be-
fore the proprietor thought of putting it up in
bottles, it had 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 long parade of GER
tifcates, as we are 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 a universal application in every
disease, We unhesitatingly say, that in number
of Chronic Diseases it is unrivalled. Among
these may he enumerated-an diseases of the
mucous tissues, such as Chronic bronchitis, Con-
sumption Tin its early stage,) Asthma, and all
diseases of the air passages, Licer Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Diarrhea, Diseases of the Bladder
and Kidneys, Pains in the Back Side, Ner-
vous Diseases, Neuralgia, Palsy, Rheumatic
Pains, Gout, Erysipelas, letter, Ringworms,
Burns, Sealds Bruises, Old Sores, &C., &C. In
cases of debility resulting from exposure or
long and protracted cases of disease, this medi-
cine will bring relief. 1t viii act as general
Tonic and AHerdtiUe 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 Piles that resisted every other
treatment, get well under the use Of the Petro-
teum or Rock OIL, for short time. The proof
can be given to any person who desires it

SCIENTIFIC FAcTs.-We gather the. fol
lowing facts from a late number of Apple
toms Mechanics Magazine, one of the bes,
practical scientific works of the day:
In this number there is an account of a
machine for the incest admeasurement Of
bodies, by which the difference of the dia.
meters ftwo hairs can be rendered palpa
bic.
remarkable instance of the divisibility
of matter is seen in the dyeing of silk with
cochineal; drachm of which gives an In
tense color to pound of silk; containing
eightscore threads to theouncc, each thread
seventy yards long, and the WIZ ole reaching
about one hundred and four miles.
The addition of small quantity of rosin
to lamp oils greatly increases their illumi-
mating power, and renders them less liable
to coagulate.
A railway train, going at the rate OF
seventy-iive miles per hour, has a velocity
one-fourth that of cannon ball; and the
momentum of such moving mass, at such
a speed, is equivalentto the aggregate force
of number of cannon balls equal to one
fourth of its own weight.

is, in hot weather, only eighteen inches
deep, and the current very swift, steam
boats are propelled by novel engine at
