Ceutaur Liniuuent.

There is no pain which the Centaur Lniment
will not relieve, no swelling it will not suodue
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-rritant, an all-healing pain re-
lever. Cripples throw away their crutches, the
lame walk, poisonous bites rendered harm
less, and the wounded are healed without scar.
1t is no humbug. The recipe is published around
each bottle. 1t is selling no article ever before
sold 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 II
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 a 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 screwworm
in sheep. Stock-owners, this liniment is worth
your attention. No family should be- without
