The Uses Of Petroleum.

A waggish correspondent sends US the Iol-
lowing capital brochure on the uses OF petro
leum
Will YOU allow me space In your val ia
BILE journal to call attention to some OF the
popular uses to which Petroleum may be
put that are not now generally understood
If in SO doing | seem to be Gin the issue o.
this) serving a selfish purpose, | trust you
will tolerate it for the real good intended to
the masses s4e.
And let me say first to the medical pro-
fession, that it is ready solvent OF the rem
edy SO extensively used by it of late, VIZ;
Riinofosca SubSnetuS. To saturated solu-
ton add equal parts of Tannin and Phos-
phate of Lime, drain off the liquid portion
and when filtered, apply to the volcanic
battery. and in from twenty-six to thirty
six hours you will get crystals IN
deposit of pure Hyp Rim.
For general condition know OF moth
ing of equal value. Pork and gold specula-
tors will find it above price during Sher-
mans march. 1t can be prepared in the form
of Iozenges and carried in the pocket.
AS anti spasmodic, pure petroleum will be
found much better than asaf@tida. One
table spoonful, i'll glass OF current WINE,
before meals, will generally be found suth-
Gent. Should it occasion retchlng, alternate
applications may be made of it to the arm
nits and soles Of the feet, rubbing it in well.
Or flannel saturated with it may be worn
about the body, over the region OF the dla-
phragm.
AS crinicultural, am prepared to say
its like cannot be found. With half its
weight of iodjde Of UrsG Mgor, and three
or four applications per day, its results will
be found surprising. The iodide can be OBJ
tanned of nearly all druggists, neatly put
up in double papers, with colored Irvine, at
ninety cents scruple | am Informed that
an article is being sold in single papers and
white Irvine at eighty seven and hall
cents a scruple. This may possess some
virtue, but after this notice shall not con
slider myself responsible for it. -Four scru-
pies will last family of six persons with
not more than two maid servants,) one
week, and it should be in every household
AS a proof Of its virtue, will state that one
application brought out the hairy on my
buffalo robe that | have used for the past
fifteen years. After two applications, Mrs
Seeknofurther, at the corner OF Congress
avenue and Suburban street, had two sets
of curls, front and back, and d switch and
waterfall for sale.
But in another ''paper'', with your per-
mission, will extend the list of its uses
My object now is to caution the public
against impure Petroleum that is being
largely offered on the market Only the
product Of the s. Paul well, "a notice o.
which will be found in most of the religion;
iournas) can be relied upon; and, what il
more remarkable, its stock is better thar
the oil. This well is at sufficient eleva
ton to carry the oil by tubing to any
American market. Negotiations are alsc
pending, which, it is hoped, will result
in laying pipe in connection with the
Trans Atlantic Telegraph, by which it car
be carried directly to an English market
saving freight ana duties These ITEM
alone are equal to dividend of 80 per cen
on the capital stock.
