Centaur Ltnfment.-There is no pain Which
the Centaur Lininent will not relieve, no sw ell
ing 1t 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, palsy, lockjaw, sprains,
swellings, caked breasts, scalds, burns, salt
rhenm, ear-ache, &c, upon the human frame,
and of strains, SPAWN, gals, &c, upon animals
in one year than have all other pretended rem.
edies since the world began. 1t is a counter-ir-
ritant, an all-heating pain-rcliever. Cripples
throw away their crutches, the lame walk, poi-
sonous bites are rendered harmless, 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
Sold aud it sells because IL does just what il
pretends to do. Those who now suffer from
rheumatism, pain, OF swelling, deserve to suffer
