Petroleum is one of Hahnemann's antimiasmatic drugs.

Here is a description of what petroleum is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum

Petroleum (L. petroleum, from Greek ##########, lit. "rock oil") or
crude oil is a naturally occurring, flammable liquid found in rock
formations in the Earth consisting of a complex mixture of
hydrocarbons of various molecular weights, plus other organic
compounds.

Composition

The proportion of hydrocarbons in the mixture is highly variable and
ranges from as much as 97% by weight in the lighter oils to as little
as 50% in the heavier oils and bitumens.

The hydrocarbons in crude oil are mostly alkanes, cycloalkanes and
various aromatic hydrocarbons while the other organic compounds
contain nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur, and trace amounts of metals such
as iron, nickel, copper and vanadium. The exact molecular composition
varies widely from formation to formation but the proportion of
chemical elements vary over fairly narrow limits as follows:

So either Hahnemann was not all that peculiar or it is just one the
things he did not know.
