DETROLEUM.-It is necessary, upon the in
PRODUCTION Of a 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 il acts. Mans organiZa-
tion is a complicated one; and 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 experiences in q
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 discovered a new med
ieine and attested its merits, il is our duty to
bring il before the public, that the benefits to
be derived from it, 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.
quainted with its virtues, doubted its healing
properties. The cry of humbug was raised
against it. Ithad some friends. Those that
were cured through its wonderful agency -
These spoke out in its favor. The lame,
through its instrumentality, were made 10 walk
the blind to sec. Those who had suffered for
years under the torturing pains, Of Rhelu1la-
tim, GOut and Neuralgia, were restored to
health and usefulness. Several who we're
blind have been made 10 see, the evidence Of
which will be placed before you. II 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
medicine We are aware that we should write
TEUTH-that we should maxi 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 efi-
caey Of this Remedy, who will testify that the
! PETROLEUM has done for them what no medi-
cine ever could before-cases that were pro.
nouneed hopeless and beyond the reach
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 al, would re
quire more space than would be allowed by this
circular. Since the introduction of the Pc.
troleum. about one year ago, macy physicians
have been convinced of its efficacy, and now
recommend il in their practice; and We have
no doubt that in another year IL will stand at
The head Of the list of valuable Remedies. II
the physicians DO not recommend il, the peo-
pie will have it of themselves for its tran
scendant power 70 heal, IciH and nlust become
known and Appreciated when the voices Of
the cured speak out; when the cures them
selves, stand out in bold reliei, snd when he
who fnr years has suffered with the tortures
and pangs OF an immedicab!e lessan, 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
will doubt itl 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 to, or taken from it.
SCROFULA.---The Petroleum is a great
medicine in Scrofua and Kings Evil, in all
those diseases having their origin in a depraved
condition Of the blood and other fluids Of the
body. 1t will cure pains and engagements in
the bones and joints, botches, biles, erysipelas,
pimples on the face, tetter, scald head. ring
worm, and the various skin diseases Ii has
cured numerous cases of Rheumatism, Neural
gin, 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 aggravated as to con-
fine her to bed during the greater part OF that
time. She is now well and considers herself
entirely restored.
