The healthful balm from Natures secret spring,
The bloom Of health, and life, to man viii bring
As from her depths the magic liquid flows,
To calm our suferingS, 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 10 its powers, in healing disease, and
the manner in which it acts. Mans organiza-
ton Is complicated one; aud to understand
the functions Of each organ, requires the study
Of years! But to understand that certain
remedies produce certain impressions upon
these organs may be 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 diseovereda new med
ieiue and attested its merits, 1t is our duty to
bring it before the public, so 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
a LIZ LIZ &AboNA OnC lcoA At,' II was pt1ICh
before the public as A REMEDY OF WON
DERFUL EFFICACY. Every one not ac.
quaintsd with its virtues, doubted its healing
properties. The 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 lis instrumentality,w were made 10 walk
The blind TO sec. Those who had suffered for
years under the torturing pains, of RhelalG-
tiFHl, GolH and Neuralgia, were restored to
health and usefulness. Several who were
blind have been made to see, the evidence of
which will he placed befoIe you. If you stil
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 aware that we should write
TEUTH-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
caey Of this Remedy, who will testify that the
PETROLEUM has done for them what no medi-
cine ever could before-cases that we're pro-
nounced hopeless and beyond the relch o
remedial means--cases abandoned by Physi-
clans Of unquestioned celebrity, have been
made to exclaim. This is the most wonder
ful remedy ever discoveredi'' Wewill 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 physicians
have been convinced Of its efficacy, and now
recommend il in their practice; and We have
no doubt that in another year it will stand at
the head of the list of valuable Remedies. II
the physicians DO not recommend il, the peo-
pie win have it of themselves for its tran
seendant power 20 heal, l0iH and must become
known and appreeiated---when the voices Ol
the cured speak out; when the cures them
selves, stand out in bold relief, and when he
who for years has suffered with the torture,
and pangs OF an immedicab!e 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, whr
will 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 TO, or taken from it.
SCROFULA.--The Petroleum is Il grea'
medicine in Scrofula and Kings Evil, in al

condition Of the blood and other fluids OF tn
