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 sufferings, and assuage our woes.
DETROLEUM.-Itis is Necessary, upon the in
L PRODUCTION Of 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 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
7 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 new med
ieine and attested its merits, it is our duty to
bring it before the public, so that the benefits to
be derived from il, NAV 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
before the public as A REMEDY OF WON
DERFUL EFFICACY, Every one not &C.
quainted with its virtues, doubted its healing
properties. Tae 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 its instrumentality, were made TO walk
the blind to see. Those who had suffered for
years under the torturing pains, of RtetmlG-
tisna, GOlft 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, 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
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, 10 the eff
cacy Of this Remedy, who will testify that the
PETROLEUM has done for them what no medi-
cine ever could before--cases that were pro-
nounced hopeless and beyond the relch
remedial means---cases abandoned by Physi-
cians of unquestioned celebrity, have been
made TO exclaim, This is the most wonder
ful remedy ever discoveredr' We will lay 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, many physicians
have been convinced Of its efficacy, and now
recommend il 10 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 90 not recommend it, the peo-
pie will have it of themselves for its tran
scendant power TO heal, wiR and must become
known and appreciated--when the voices of
the cured speak out; when the cures them
selves, stand out in bold reliei, und when he
who for years has suffered with the tortures
and pangs or an immedicable 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, who
will doubt it! The Petroleum is a natural
Remedy; IL is put up as il flows from the bo-
som Of the earth. without anything being ad-
ded TO, or taken from il.
SCROFULA.--The Petroleum is great
medicine in Scrofula and Kings Evil, in all
those diseases havingthe 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, blotches, biles, erysipelas,
pimples on the face, tetter, scald-head ring
worm, and the various skin diseases. 1t 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 50 aggravated as TO con-
fine her TO bed during the greater part OF that
time. She is now well and considers herself
entirely restored.
