The healthful balm from Natures secret spring,
The bloom Of health, and life, to man will bring
As from her depths the magic liquid flows,
To calm our suferings, and assuage our woes.
DETROLEUM-Itis is necessary, upon the in
PRODUCTION Of a 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-
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 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 discovered a new med
ieine and attested its merits, it is our duty TO
bring 1t before the public, that the benefits 10
be derived from il, may be more generally diff
fused, but have noTight to bold back remedy
whose powers are calculated to remove pain,
and TO alleviate human suffering and disease.
THE PETROLEUM HAS BEEN FULLY
Es' III. auoll one Netr ago IL WAS pldceQ
before the public rs 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 il. IL 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 sec. Those who had suffered for
years under the torturins pains, of Rhetna-
tsHl, G0th and Neuralgia, were restored to
health and usefulness. Several who were
blind have been made 10 see, the evidence OF
which win be placed before you. If you still
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
medicine We are aware that we should write
TEUTH-that we should maxi 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, 20 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 we're pro-
nounced hopeless and beyond the reach
remedial means---cases abandoned by Physi-
cians Of unquestioned celebrity, have been
made to exclaim, This is the most wonder
/ fu remedy ever discOvsredh' We will ay be-
fore you the certificates of some Of the most
remarkable cases; TO give them oil, 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 it ia their practice; and we have
no doubt that in another year it viii stand at
/ the head Of the list of valuable Remedies. II
| the physicians Go not recommend it, the peo-
N-r. - : - r.
scendant power 70 heal, lriU and must become
known and appreeiated---uhen the voices Of
ihe 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 hasiening him
"to the narrow house appointed for all the liv-
| ing.'' when he speaks out in its praise, who
viii doubt il! 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 70, or taken from it.
SCROFULA.---The Petroleum is a great
medicine in Scrofula and Kings Evil, in all
those diseases having their origin in = depgayed
condition Of the blood and other fluids Of the
body. 1t will cure pains and engagements in
the bones and joints bl0tches, biles, erysipelas,

worm, and the various skin diseases. II has
cured numerous cases Of Rheumatism, Neural
gia, Gout, &c. Several cases Of rheumatism
Of years standing have been entirely cured
A woman in Franklin county, Pa, was cured
Of a 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.
