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 neghborhood number of teamsers are
using the Centaur Lument. They pronounce it
superior to anything they have ever used. We sell
as high four to live dozen bottles per month to
owners of horses and mules"
We have volumes of testimonials describing
cures OF Sprains, Kicks, Calls, PollEvil, Big Head
and even Founders, which are little less than mar
vels. No owner of an animal can afford to be with
out bottle of Centaur Liniment, which any day
may prove worth twenty times its cost.
