THE QUICKEST, SUREST AND CHEAPEST
REMEDIES.

Physicians recommend, and Farriers declare
that no such remedies have ever before been in
use. Words are cheap but the proprietors of these
articles will present trial bottles to medical men,
gratis as guarantee of what they say.
THE CENTA UR LLNLIENT, WHITE WRAPPER
will cure Rhumatism, Neuralgia, Lumbago, Sci
atica, Caked Breasts, Sore Nipples, Frosted Feet,
Chilblains, swellings, sprains, and any ordinary
FLESH, BONE OR MUSCLE AILMEN7.
We make no pretense that this article will cure
Cancer, restore lost bones or give health to a
whisky soaked carcass. But 1t will always re-
lieve Inflammation and allay pain.
1t will extract the poison of bites and stings and
heal burns or scalds without scar. Palsy, Weak
Back, Caked Breasts, Earache, Toothache, Itch
and Cutaneous eruptions readily yield to its
treatment.
Henry Black, of Ada, Hardin Co.. Ohio, says
my wife has had Rheumatism for five years-no
rest no seep-COuld scarcely walk across the floor.
She is now completely cured by the use of Cen
taur Liniment. We all feel thankful to you, and
recommend your wonderful medicine to all our
friends"
James Hurd of GAINESVILLE, O., says "The Cen
taur Liniment cured my Neuralgia"
Alfred Tush, of Newark, writes "Send me one
dozen bottles by express. The Liniment saved
my leg want to distribut it, &c"
The sale ofthis Liniment is increasing rapidly.
The YeIIOW CentGp LinjMent
is for the tough skin, flesh and muscles Of
HORSES MULES AND ANIMALS.
We have never yet seen a case of SPAWN,
Sweeny, Ring bone, Windgall Scratches or Poll
evil, which this Liniment would not speedily ben
eft, and we never saw but a few cases which ii
iOould not cure II will cure when anything can.
1t is folly to spend S26 for aFarrier when one dol
lars worth of Centaur Liniment will do better.
The following is a sample Of the testimony pro-
duced:
W.P Hopkins, Postmaster, o., says;
"Centaur Liniment can't be beat 1t cures every
time"
YELvERToN, o.. March 2, 1874.
"The Centaur Liniments are the best selling
medicines we have ever had. The demand is
very great for it, and we cannot afford to be with
out il.
"P. H. HIsEY & SON"
JEFFERSON, NO., Nov. 10, 1873,
Some time ago / was shipping horses to st.
Louis. Igot one badly crippled in the car With
great difficulty got him to the stable. The stable
keeper gave me bottle of your Centaur Liniment
which used with such success that in two days
the horse was active and nearly well. / have
been veterinary surgeon for thirty years, but
your Liniment beats anything ever used.
