Johnson's Anodyno Liniment will

Rheumatism, no matter how severe,
than any othor article known to med
ical men.
It is often remarked by strangers
visiting our State, that we show a
larger proportion of good horses
than any other State in tho Union.
This, we toll them, is owing to two
principal reasons; in the first place,
we breed from the very best stock
and in the second place, our people
use Sheridan's Cavalry Condition
Powders, which in our judgment are
of incalculable advantage.
