February the American ship William II.
keeney, Captain Beers, while leaving the
Mersey lost overheard a man who was
shortening sail A gale was blowing at
the time and the sea was heavy. but the
mate, I. W. Uphotf, a native OF Hanover,
ran to a punt which was on deck, lifted it
over the ships side unaided and rowed
toward his drowning shipmate The man,
however, was drowned before the mate
reached him. After some difficulty the
ship was got near enough to the punt Tor
line to be thrown to Uphotf. but the rope
becoming entangled about his person, he
also was drowned, it being impossible to
get him out OF the water soon enough to
sage him. The ship returned to Liverpool

Centaur
!

SO nearly perfect are the recipes of these wonder
full pain-soothng and healing Centaur Linhnents,
that we can confidently say they will ALLEVIATE
ANY PAIN arising from flesh, bone or muscle de-
engagements. We do mot pretend that they will
mend abroken leg or eNterminatc boils, but even in
such cases they will reduce the inflammation and
stop the pain Nor can guarantee the proper re-
suits where the body is poisoned by whiskcy. TEN
perance is necessary to proper physical as men
tai condition.
The WHITE CENTAUR LINIMENT is particu-
larly adapted to all cases of Rheumatism, Lumbago
Neuralgia Erysipelas, Itch, Sprains, Chblains,
Cuts Bruises, Stings, Poisons Scalds, Sciatica
Weak Back, Pains in the side, Wounds, Weeping
Snews, Burns, Frosted Feet. Palsy, Ear ache Tooth
ache, Heada ache, Ulcers, Old Sores, Broken Breasts
Sore Nipples, Sore Throat Group, Diptheria, etc
The most of these complaints the Centaur I.iniment
will cure; all of them it will benefit. 1t will extract
the poison from bites and will cure burns and scalds
without scar. The following is but sample of a
thousand similar testimonials
"ANTIOCH, ILL, Dec. l. ISL
My wife has, for long time. been terrible suf
ferer from rheumatism She has tried many phys
has given her relief is Centaur Lnment. / am re-
joced to say this has cured her.
W. ii. RlNI, postmaster"
1t is an indisputable fact that the Centaur I'M
ments performing never before effected by
any preparation in eXistence,-like Chronic Rheun-
atism of thirty years standing Strengthening fingers
and joints which had been stiff for six years, taking
the soreness from burns, &c.
One dollar, fifty cents, invested in Centaur
Liniment will be within reach when an accident oc
ours, and will do more good than any amount of
money paid for medical attendance. When phy>t
clans called they frequently use this Liniment
and of course charge several prices for it.
The Yellow Centaur Liniment
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, cor. Elm and
Front Sts., Cincinnati, o., say:
"In our neighborhood number of transfers are
using the Centaur Liniment. They pronounce it
high tour to five dozen bottles per month 10
owners of horses and mules
We have volumes of testimonials describing cures
of Sprains, Kicks, Calls, Poll Evil, Big-Head, and
even Founders, which little less than marvels.
No owner of an animal can afford to be without
bottle of Centaur Liniment, which any day may
prove worth twenty times its cost.
Sold everywhere, but prepared only at the

Genttemcn.-Nly case is briefly as follows. have
had tatarrh for ten years, each year with increas-
ing severity. For nine years I had not breathed
through one nostril. had droppings in the throat,
4 very bad cough, asthma so bad to be obliged to
AXE a remedy for it at night before being able to
lie down and sleep, and constant dull pain in my
head My head was at times so full of catarrhal
matter as to injure my sense of hearing and compel
me TO get up several times in night to clear it and
my throat before could sleep. Every of these
distressing symptoms had disappeared under the use
of not quite three bottles of SANFoRD'S RADICAL
CURE. My hearing is fully restored | have no
n>thmatic symptoms, no cough. no droppngs in the
throat, no headache, and in every way better than
have been for years could feel the effects of the
CURE on my appetite, my Kidneys, and in fact
every part of my system. What has been done in
my case is wholly the effect of the RADICAL CURE.
