The most extraordinary discovery in the World IS
the Great arabian Remedy for Man and Beast
.H.G. FARRELL'S
CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT.

Is well known to possess the most wonderfully
healing, penetrating and stimulating properties
and by its promptness in efecting cures. which
previously had resisted all other medicines, ad-
ministered by the most scientific physicians, has
placed it far beyond any similar remedy ever in
troduced to the people of the United States. 1t

thus enables nature TO throw of dsease-iI pene-
trstes to the bones, adding strength and activity
TO the muscles-it is powerfully anOdyne and there
by alays nervous irritation, producing delightful
ly pleasing sensation through the whole frame.
Owing to Its remarkable anticeptic properties it
purities and neutraizes that poisonous, corrosive
principle which renders old ulcerous sores so diff
cult to heal il therefore is peculiarly adapted to
their speedy cure. This Lniment from its pene-
trsting and strengthening qualities has been found
to be specific for Paralysis or Palsy, Whiteswell-
ines and diseased joints and in fact all comp
involving the muscular system. 1t has cur, cases
of Rheumatism of twenty to thi ty years standing,
and affections of the Spine wherein the entire

utmost vigilance on the part of the mill
tary forces in Texas for the suppression OF
these raids. 1t is very desirable that the
efforts to this end.in so far at least as they
necessarily involve operations on both
sides of the border, be made with the co.
operation of the Mexican authorities, and
you will instruct Gen. Ord, commanding
in Texas. to invite such cooperation on the
part of the local Mexican authorities, and
to inform them that while the president
is anxious to avoid giving otfense to Mex
lco, he is nevertheless convinced that the
invasion of our territory by armed and
organized bodies of thieves and robbers to
prey upon our citizens should not be Longer
endured. Gen. Ord win at once notify
