The Usea of Petroleum.

lerm:
Will you allow me space In your valuable
Journal To call attention TO some OF the popt:
lar uses to which Petroleum may be put that
are not now generally understood. If in 80
doing seem to be lin the issue OF this1 scrg-
ing selfish purpose, I trust you will tolerate
it Tor Tue real good intended to the masses.
And let me say first to the MEDICAL pro!cs-
sion, that It is a ready splvcnt Of he remedy

ncfosca Sr6sas!as. To Z saturated solution
add equal parts Of Taunin and Phosphate of
Lime, drain of the liquid portion, and when
filtertd, apply to the volcanic battery, and in
from tTenty-slx to thirty hours you will get
crystals In deposit Of pure Hup Rhin.

can be relied upon; and, what is more re-

the oil by tubing to any American market.
