CENTAUR
LlNIMENTS.

So nearly perfect are the recipes of these wonder
ful pain-soothng and healing Centaur Liniments
that we can confidently say they will alleviate
any pain arising from flesh, bone or muscle de
rangements. We do not pretend that they will
mend broken leg or exterminate boils, but even
in such cases they will reduce the Inflammation
er results where the body is poisoned by whiskey.
Temperance is as necessary to proper physical,
as mental condition.
The WHITE CENTAUR LINIMENT is particularly
adapted to all cases of Rheumatism, Lumbago,
Neuralgia, Erysipeas, Itch, Sprains, Chlblains,
Cuts, Bruises, Stngs, Posons, Scalds, Sciatica,
Weak Back, Pains in the side, Wounds, Weeping
Sinews, Burns, Frosted Feet, Palsy, Ear-ache,
Tooth.ache, Head ache, Ulcers, Old Sores, Broken
Breasts Sore Niples, Sore Throat, Group, Dipthe-
ria, etc. The moot OF these complaints the Centaur
Liniment will cure; all of them it will benefit. 1t
will extract the poison from bites and stings, and
will cure burns and scalds without scar. The fol-
lowing is but sample OF thousand similar testi-
monias:
"ANTIOCH, ILL, Dec. !, 1874.
"My wife has for long time, been terrible suf
ferer from Rheumatism. She has tried many ply
sicans and many remedies. The only thing which
has given her relief is Centaur Linment. l am re-
joiced to say this has cured her.
w. II. RING, Postmaster"
1t is an indispuable fact that the Centaur Lini-
ments are performing cures never before effected
by any preparation in existence,-like Chronic
Rheumatism oithirty years standing Strengthening
fingers and joints which had been stiff for six years,
taking the soreness from burns, &c.
One dollar, or even fifty cents, invested in Cen
taur Liniment will be within reach when an acc-
dent occurs, and will do more good than any
amount of money paid for medical attendance.
When physicians are called they frequently use
this Lininent, and OF course charge several prices

Mr.. EDIToR:-Will you allow small
space in your valuable paper, that an error
Tay be corrected in your last weeks issue
relative to the camp meeting held on
Appoquniminl Circuit? Your informant
says that the spiritual interest was so un-
important that there was no record kept of
the number Of conversions. While there
was no record kept on paper, there was a
record in the minds of a number of the
brethren, which record agrees that at least
fifty souls were converted to God. This we
think not unimportant. While the angels
i'll heaven rejoice over one sinner that
repenteth, surely we can attach some
Importance to .ffty that have been born OF
the Spirit. Beside all this, the church was
greatly quickened and made alive to God,
and sinners made to feel their need of a
Saviour Indeed, it is thought by some, tc
have been the most spiritual of any meeting
ever held on that ground. TO God be ali
the glory. J.c.H.
