Centaur Linimenf.

There is no pain which the Centaur Liniment
will not relieve, no swelling it will not subdue,
and no lameness which it will not cure. This is
strong language, but it is true. Where the parts
are not gone, its effects are marvellous 1t has
produced more cures of rheumatism, neuralgia,
lockjaw, palsy, sprains, swellings, caked-breasts
scalds, burns, salt-rheum, ear-ache, &C., upon
the human frame. and of strains, SPAWN, gals,
&C., upon animals in one year than have all 9TH
er pretended remedies since the world began
1t is a counter-irritant, an all-healing pain re-
lever. Cripples throw away their crutches, the
lame walk, poisonous bites are rendered HARM
less, and the wounded are healed without scar.
1t is no humbug. The recipe is published around
each bottle. 1t is selling as no article ever before
sod and it sells because it does just what it pre-
tends to do. Those who now suffer from rheu-
matsm, pain or swelling, deserve to suffer if
they will not use Centaur Liniment. More than
1000 certificates of remarkable cures, including
frozen limbs, chronic rheumatism, govt, run
ming tumors, &c, have been received We will
send circular containing certificates, the reci-
pc, &C., gratis, to any one requesting it. One
bottle of the yellow wrapper Centaur Liniment
is worth one hundred dollars for spawned or
sweenied horses and mules or for screw-worm
in sheep. Stock-owners, this liniment is worth
your attention. No family should be without
Centaur Liniment. Price SOC bottle, large bot
ties $1.0O. j. B. ROSE s. Co.,

OUR FRIENDS IN ENGLAND.-We infer from
the accounts in the British papers, that our
friends. Rev. Mr.. Baker and Prof. Richardson's
are having pleasant time with the excursion
party in Old England. An entertainment was
given them at Derby, at which the Mayor of the
city presided and made quite long address of
welcome The first toast proposed was ''her
majesty, the queen" and the second, "the Presi-
dent of the u. s." Col Mason responded, on
behalf of the excursionists and our fellow towns
mon, Prof Richardson, also spoke briefly. Mr..
Baker at the close of the entertainment having
been called upon, returned thanks. The news
paper accounts concur in stating that no event of
so much interest as the visit of the American
excursionists has occurred In Derby since the
presence of the Prince of Wales last Winter
The Derby Advertiser intimates that the excur-
sionists did not seem to understand toast drink
ing very well, and we prepared to believe that
our friends in the party are not all fat in such
matters, but their greatest balk, no doubt was
at giving hearty response to the second senti-
ment proposed. Wish they had provided few
bottles of Bumgardner's and Fulchers best, and
taken few lessons in toast-drinking before they
left this country. We hope for the best, howev-
er, knowing that there is great outcome in the
gentlemen.
