The Yellow Centaur Liniment

is worth its weight in gold to owners of horses and
mules.
This Linimsnt has cured more sprained,
sweenied, Ring-boned and Called n Orses in three
years than have all the Farriers in the country in
age. Its effects are simply wonderful.
We have thousands upon thousands of certificates
as strong the following:
"My horse was lame for year with fetlock
wrench. All remedies utterly failed to cure and
considered him worthless until commenced to use
Centaur Liniment, which rapidly cured him. 1
heartily recommend it.
"REv. GEO W FERRIS.

1t makes very little difference what the case is,
whether it be Wrench Spran, Poll-Eyil, Rim bone.
Scratches or Lameness of any kind, the effects are
the same. Liverymen, Stage propIietors, Farmers,
&c, should never be without the Yellow Centaur

IT can be cured. There is no doubt about it,. The
l. immediate relief afforded by SANFoRD's RADI-
CAL CURE FOR CATARRH is but a slight evidence
of what may follow persistent use OF this remedy.
The hard, incrusted matter that has lodged in the
nasal passages is removed with few applications

the entire membranous Innings of the head are
cleansed and purified Coustitutionally its action is
that of powerful purifying agent, destroying in its

What loss is theirs who from thy kingdom turn
Dismayed, and think thy snow sculptured urn
OF deathl Far sooner in midsummer tire
The streams than under ice. June could not hire
Her roses to forego the strength they learn
In sleeping on thy breast. No fires can burn
The bridges thou dost lay where men desire
In vain to build
o Heart, when Loves sun goes
To northward and the sounds of singing cease
Keep warm by inner fires, and rest in peace
Sleep on content as sleeps the patient rose
Walk boldly on the white untrod1en SHOWS;
The winter is the winters own released

question with considerable anxiety. And well they
may: for no disease tt at can be mentioned is so

as Catarrh. Bronchitis, Asthma. Coughs and
serious and frequently fatal affections of the lungs
follow, in many cases o. simple but neglected
Catarrh Other sympathetic affections such as
