Centaur
LiniinlentS.

One thing is now thoroughly established. Never
since man suffered and human agencies aeviated
pain, has there been ans thing which went so Tar
as pain anninator and curative agent as the
Ccntaur Liniments. These Linimepts have within
the past yeaI cured more cases of Rheun arIsm,
Neuralgia, Stiff joints, Caked Breasts. Swelling,
Poisonous Bites, Burns, Lame Animals, etc. etc,
than all other remedies combined. As he name
of Centaur implies half horse and ha'f man, the
Centaur Linments are Tor 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 Wilch Ha eel
Arnica, Carbolic, Rock OIL Mentha and other
powerful ingredients.
VIM. II. Hickcox, Rector OF at. Johns f. Church
Wakefield, Clay Co.. Kansas, writes Many years
have been suffering from a Weak Back, caused
from a sprain more than ~ years ago. have not
found anything 10 relieve me until | commenced
the use OF Centaur Liniment. l feel IL my Chris.
tan duty to inform you that by its wonderful effects
am entirely relieved of pain. January 22d, 1876"
Messrs. J. Mcclure 4 Co., Druggists, Cincinnati,
O., say:
"Teamsters pronounce the Yellow Centaur Lini.
ment superior 10 anything they have ever used.
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, Embrocations, Saves
and Ointments in existence doing one tenth
the good which is done by these ad irable Centaur
Lniments. For Prostitutes, Stngs, Cuts, Itch Salt
Rheum, etc, there is nothing ike the Centaur
Lniment, White Wrapper. For SPAWN. Ring bone,
Sweeney, Wind Calls, Poll-ev Scratches, etc, 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.
No family should be without Centaur Liniments.
Tney are worth one hundred times their cost
