The heaIthfuI balm from Natures secret spring,
The bloom Of health, and hfe. to man viii bring;
As from her depths the magic liquid flows,
To calm our suherings, and assuage our woes.
DETROLEUM.-I is necessary, upon the in
| PRODUCTION Of a new Medicine, to the notice
of the public. that something should be said in
relation 20 its powers, in healing disease, and
the manner in which it acts. Mans orEaniza-
tion IS complicated one; and to understand
the functions Of each organs requires the study
Of years. 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 diseoyereda a new med
ieine and attested its merits. it is our duty to
bring it before the public, that the benefits 10
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
TESTED! About one year ago it was placed
.
DERFUL EFFICACY, Every one not ac.
quainted with its virtues, doubted its healing
propeuties. Tne cry of humbug was raised
against it. IL had some friends. Those that
we're cured through lis wonderful agency -
These spoke out in its favor. The lame,
through its instrumentality, were made 10 walk
the blind to see. Those who had suffered for
years under the torturing pains, Of Rtellna-
tisHs, Gota and Neuralgia, were restored to
health and usefulness. Several who were
blind have been made to see, the evidence Of
which will be placed before you. If you still
have doubts, 90 and ssk those who have been
cured! Some Of them live in our midst, and
can swear for themselves. In writing abnut
medicine we are aware that we should write
TRuTH-that we should make no statements
that cannot be proved. We have the witness
es-crowds of them, who will testify in terms
stronger than we can write them, to the eff
cacy Of this Remedy, who viii testify that the
| PETRoLEUM has done for them what no medi-
cine ever could before-cases that were pro-
nounced hopeless and beyond the reach o
remedial means--cases abandoned by Physi-
cians of unquestioned celebrity, have been
made to exclaim, This is the most wonder
ful remedy ever discovsredr' We viii lay be-
fore you the certificates of some Of the most
remarkable cases; to 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 eonvineei of its efficacy, and now
recomme nd il in' their practice; and we have
no doubt that in another year it will stand at
4 the head Of the list of valuable Remedies. Ii
the physicians do not recommend 1t, the peo-
pie will have it of themselves for its tran
scendsnt power TO heal, iriH and must become
known and apprecated---when the voices Of
the cured speak out; when the cures them
selves, stand out in bold relief, and when he
who for years has suffered with the tortures
and pangs Of an immedicable lesson, that has
been shortening his days and Fastening him
''to the narrow house appointed for all the liv-
ing" when he speaks out in its praise, who
win doubt it! The Petroleum is a natural
| Remedy; il is put up as it flows from the bo-
som of the earth. without anything being ad
Ged TO, or taken from it.
| SCROFULA.--The Petroleum is n 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. 1t viii cure pains and engagements in
the bones and joints, blotches, biles erysipelas,
/ pimples on the face, tetter, scald head ring
worm, and the various skin diseases II has
cured numerous cases of Rheumatism, Neural
giO, Gout, &c. Several cases Of Rheumatism
Of years standing, have been entirely cured.
A woman in Franklin county, Pa, was -ured
Of Rheumatic affection Of seven years stand
ing; the disease was so aggravnted ns TO con-
fine her to bed during the greater part OF that
time. She is now well and considers herself
entirely restored.
