The healthful balm from Natures secret spring,
The bloom Of health, and life, to man viii bringi
As from her depths the magic liquid flows,
To calm our sufferings. and assuage our woes.
DETROLEUM.-Iti is necessary, upon the in
I PRODUCTION of new Medicine, to the notice
of the public, that something should be said IN
relation TO its powers, in healing disease, and
the manner in which it acts. Mans organlza-
tion is a complicated one; and TO understand
the functions Of each organ, requires the study
of wears! But to understand that certain
remedies produce certain impressions upon
these organs may be learned by experience In
short time. 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 a new med
icine and attested its merits, II is our duty to
bring 1t before the public, so that the benefits to
be derived from il, may be more generally diff
fused, but have no right to hold back remedy
whose powers are calculated to 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 as A REMEDY OF WON
DERFUL EFFICACY, Every one not ac-
uuainted with its virtues, doubted its healing
properties. Tae cry of humbug was raised
against it. 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 TO walk
-the blind to see. Those who had suffered for
- r,-fne nf RbPIFu1n-
tisBl, Gold and Neuralgia, we're restored to
health and usefulness. Several who were
blind have been made to see, the evidence Of
which will be placed befofe you. IL you still
! have doubts, go 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 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 eff
cacv Of this Remedy, whowill testify that the
PETROLEUM has done for them what no medi-
cine ever could before-cases that were pro-
nounced hopeless and beyond the relch o
remedial means---cases abandoned by Physi-
cians of unquessioned celebrity, have been
made 10 exclaim, This is the most wonder
ful remedy ever discoveredr' We will lay be-
fore YOU the certificates Of some Of the most
remarkable cases; TO 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 physician:
have been convinced Of its efsoacy, and now
recommend il 10 their practice; and We have
no doubt that in another year il will stand al
the head of the list Of valuable Remedies. L
the physicians % not recommend it, the peo

scendant power to heal, ,riH and must become
, known and appreciated---when the voices o
the cured speak out; when the cures them
selves, stand out in bold reliei, aud when HI
who for years has suffered with the torture
and pangs OF an immedicable lesson, that ha
been shortening his days and hasiening hin
"to the narrow house appointed for all the liv
ing,'' when he speaks out in its praise, VIII
win doubt it! The Petroleum is a natura
, Remedy; il 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 n grea
medicine in Scrofula and Kings Evil, in al
those diseases having their origin in a deprave,
condition Of the blood and other fluids Of tn
body. II viii cure pains and engagements ii
the bones and Joints, bl0tches, hiles. erysipelas
pimples on the face, tetier, scald head. ring

gia, Gout, &c. Several cases Of Rheumatism
Of years standing, have been entirely cured
. A woman in Franklin county, Pa, was sure
of a Rheumatic affection of seven years stand
ing; the disease was aggravated as to cor
fine her to bed during the greater part OF tha
time. She is now well aud considers herse
entirely restored.
