Seite 580 - Many cures are attributed to this oil by the natives, and lately by some whites, particularly Rheumatic pains and old ulcers ; it has hitherto been taken for granted that the water of the Creek was impregnated with it, as it was found in so many places, but I have found this to be an error, as I examined it carefully and found it issuing out of two places only — these two are about four hundred yards distant from (each) other, and on opposite sides of the Creek.
