This is a sample of many thousand testimo-
mails received Of wonderful cures effected by
the Centaur Liniment. The Ingredients ofthis
article are published around each bottle. 1t
contains Witch Eazel. Mentha, Arnica, Rock
Oil, Carbolic and Ingredients hitherto littlo
known. 1t is an indisputable fact that tho
Centaur Lininent is performing more cures of
owellings, Stiff Joints, Eraplions, Rhcuma-
tism, Neuralgia, Sciatica, Caked Breasts,
Lock-jaw, ETC., than all othcr Liniments, En-
brocatious Extracts, Salvos, Ointments and
Plasters now in use.
For Toothache, Earache, Weak Back, Itch,
and Cutaneous Eruptions, it is admirable. 1t
cures burns and Scalds without ascar Extracts
poison from bites and stings, and heals FROST
bites and chillblans in short time. No fam
lily can afford to be without the Centaur Lini-
ment, white wrapper.
Centaur LiMiment, yellow Wrap
per. is adapted to the tough skin, muscles
and flesh Of the animal creation. Its effects
upon severe cases of Spawn, Sweeny, Wind
Gall, Big-Head and Poll-Evil, are little less
than marvellous.
Messrs j. Mcclure & Co., Druggists, corner
Elm and Front Sts., Cincinnati, o., say:
In our .neighborhood number of team
sters are using Centaur Liniment. They pro-
nounce i superior to anything they have over
