Centaur
LiniinlentS.

One thing is now thoroughly established. Never
since man suffered and human agencies alleviated
pain, has there been any thing which went so far
as pain annnator and curative agent as the
Ccntaur Liniments. These Linimeuts have within
the past year cured more cases of Rheumatism
Neuralgia, SdGJolnts, Caked Breasts, Swellngs
Poisonous Bites, Burns, Lame Animals etc, etc,
than all other remedies combined. As he name
OF Centaur implies half horse and half man, the
CeDtaur Linments are for man and beast. But
not the same Liniment. The White Luiment is
for man and the Yellow for horses and animals.
Herein this Liniment differs from all other rene
dies, although some of the ingredients alike in
each. They contain the well known Witch IIa eel
Arnica, Carbolic, Rock Oil, Mentha and other
powerful ingredients.
VIM H. Iiickcox, Rector of st. john +. Church
Wakefield, Clay Co.. Kansas, writes Many years

from a sprain more than 4U years ago. | have not
found anything To relieve me until commenced

We sell several dozen bottles per month, and the
sale Is steadily Increasing"
These are only samples of thousands upon
thousands of similar Testimonials reaching us every
month. All the Extracts, E,pbrocations, Salves
and Ointments in existence are not doing ono tenth
the good which is done by these admirable Centaur
Liniments. For Prostitutes, Stings, Cuts Itch Salt
Rheum, etc, there is nothing like the Centaur
Liniment White Wrapper. For SPAWN, Ring bone,
Sweeney. Wind Calls, Poll-eyi. Scratches, etc u, on
horses, the Yellow Centaur Liniment is equally as
good. They are certain in their effects; they are
pleasant to use, they are handy and they cheap

Loss Of Life by Fire.

At l:25 on the morning of the 1ltt
inst, the Southern Hotel at St. Loui:
was destroyed by fire. The exact Dum.
Der Of lives lost cannot be given, but
it is feared that some forty or fifty per.
sons perished, either by being burned
directly or first spothered by smoke
and then consumed.
From the best information it seems
the fire caught IN the store room In the
basement, aud was FIRST seen coming
through the ground floor just north oI
the Office, and in short time it had as.
cended the elevators and rotunda and
spread itself over the sixth floor under
the roof. This floor was occupied en-
tirely by employees of the hotel, the
most of whom were women.
The fire spread rapidly, filling every
room and hall with flames and smoke
and the scene was Of the most terrible
description. Frantic men, women and
children ran through the balls shriek-
ing in the most heart-rending manner
in their wild and desperate efforts to
escape.
Ladders we're raised as soon as pos.
sible, and women and children with
nothing but their night-clothes on were
thus taken from the burning building
The ladders were too short to reach the
fifth and sixth stories, but oy hoisting
some of them on the one-story balcony
on the east side and the two-story bal
cony on the north side of the building,
