Glowing accounts continue to be received
from the Pennsylvania oil region, where specula-
tors are actively engaged in sinking wells. None
hopeless, while many Of them are yielding a
rich return. One yields steadily . barrel per
nour, and another, just started, is expected to
give out fifty to seventy-fVe barrels per day.
Mr.. L. d. Williams, Professor Of Natural History
in Allegheny College, says it is probable, from
the geological formation Of the country, that
the valleysOf all the tributaries Of the Allegheny
river, for great distance, will yield this oil in
abundance. He says the "half has not been
told" Of the richness Of the oil region.

from any foreign substance. The tests have
shown that Il will yield one hundred and sixty.
Eve gallons Of crude oil to the t0n After one
refining process, eghty-two per cent. Of refined
oil was obtained; after . second distillation,
sixty one per cent Of the whole amount was OBJ
tnined in pure oil, and thirty per cent Of lubri.

developed is upon the land Of Mr.. William Camp

that In which coal Is usually found. Il Is not
horizontal, but In cone-like or vertical shape,
running over hill. The vein Is not more than

The undersigned desiruus Of aequainting those who
may be unfortunate enough to be similarly afflicted,
where permanent relief Of their suderings may bs
obtained feels IL his duty to thus publicly express biz
most sincere gratitude to Dr. i. j. Czapkay for he
permanent recovery Of his health. Borne down by lie
distressing symptoms incident to the vicious practices
Of uncomfortable passion In youth, depressed in dy
and mind unable TO perform even the most trning
duty imposed by the daily aYOcatOns OF lle sought
the advice Of many physicians, who at first regarded
my disease of trhng Importance; but, alas, aera

treatment, found, to my unutterable horror, that,
instead OF relief my symptoms became more alarming
in their torture; and being told by that my dist
being principally confined to the brain, medicine
would be Of little consequence despaired Of ever "
gaining my health strength and energy; and, last
resort, and with but a faint hope called upon d.
CZapkay who, after examining my case, prescribed
some medicine, which almost instantly relieved ne Of
the dull pain and dizziness in my head. EneouTaged
| by the result resolved to place myself under bic
care and by strict obedience to all his directions and
advice, my head became clear, my ideas collected, he
constant pain in my back and grOins, the weakness d
my limbs, the nervous reaction OF my whole body o.

evil fOrebodings the selfdistrust and want Of conf.

resolution the frghtfnl exciting, and at times pea
urabe dreams BY night, followed by involuntary di-
charges, have all disappeared, and in fact, 10 tNo
months after having consulted the Doctor, felt q
inspired by new lile-that life which, short time
ago, contemplated to end with my own hand.
| With view TO guard the unfortunate FROM falling
into the snares Of incompetent quacks, detm my
duty to offer this testimony 10 the merits and skl Of
