Of years. But to understand that certain
remedies produce certain impressions upon
these organs may be learned by experience in
short tims. 1t Is by observation in Itching

enabled to increase the number Of curative

THE PETROLEUM HAS BEEN FULLY
TES GEDt About one wear ago il was placed
before the public rs A REMEDY OF WON
DERFUL EFFICACY. Every one not ac.
quainted with its virtues, doubted its healing
properties. Tae cry of humbug was raised
against it. II had some friends. Those that
we're cured through its wonderful agency -
These spoke out in its favor. The lame,
through its instrumentality, were made TO walk
--the blind 10 sec. Those who had suffered for
years under the torturing pains, Of RhsiBla-
tispl, GOu and Neuralgia, were restored to
health and usefulness. Several who were
blind have been made 10 see, the evidence Of
which will he 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 a
medicine we are aEare that we should write
TsUTH-that we should maxi no statements
that cannot BE- proved. We have the witness
es-c-owds Of them, who will testify in terms
stronger than we can write them, TO the efi-
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-
ciaas Of unqucstioned celebrity, have been
made TO eZelaim, This /, the most wonder
ful remedy ever discoyeredr' We win lay be
fore you the certificates Of some Of the most
remarkable cases; to give them al, would r.
quire more space than would Be allowed by tbs
circular. SiRce 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; aud we have
no DOUBT that in another year il viii stand at
the head Of the list Of valuable Remedies. II
the physicians 30 not recommend il, the peo-
pie will have it OF themselves for its tran
seendant power o heal, lriA and must become
known aud appreciated---Nhen the voices Ct
the cured speak out; when the cures them
selves, stand out in bold relief, and when he
who for years has suffered with the iortures
and pangs OF an immedica5le lesson, that has
been shortening bis days aud fastening him
'to the narrow hou-e appointed for all the liv-
ing,' when he speaks out in IFS pIaise, VIM
win doubt II! The Petroleum is natural
Remedy; it is pat up as it flows from the bo
som Of The earth. without anything being ad
