Centaur
IiniinnentS.

One thing is now thoroughly established. Never
since man suffered and human agencies aleviated
pain, has there been any thing which went Tar
as a pain anninilator and curative agent as the
Ccntaur Llniments. These Liniments have within
the past year cured more cases of Rheumatism
Neuralgia, SLidjoints, Caked Breasts, Swelings,
Poisonous Bites, Burns, Lame Animals, ETC., ETC.,
than all other remedies combined As he name
of Centaur implies half horse and hall man, the
Centaur Liniments are for man and beast But
not the samo Linment. The White Liument is
for man and the Yellow for horses and animals.
Herein this Liniment differs from all other rene.
dies, although some Of the ingredients are alike in
each. They contain the well known Witch Haz eel
Arnca, Carboc, Rock Oil, Mentha and other
powerful ingredients.
wm. II. Hckcox, Rector of st. Johns E. Church
Wakefield, Clay Co.. Kansas, writes: MANY years
have been sufeing from a Weak Back, caused
from a spraln more ihan 40 years ago. have not
found anything W relieve me until | commenced
the use OF Centaur Lnlment l ieel II my Chris
an duty TO iniol you that by its wnnder ul effects
am entirely relieved of pain. January 22d, 1876"
Messrs. J. Mcclure & Co., Drugg lists, Cincinnati
o., say:
"Teamtters pronounce the Yellow Centaur Lini
ment sup flor TO anything they have ever used.
We sell several dozen bottles per month, and tn
sale is steaduy increasing"
u hesc are only samples of thousands upon
thousands of similar testimonials reaching every
month All the Extracts, Embrocations, Salves
ana uiutmens in existence are not doing one c.tenth
the good which is done by these admirable Centaur
Liniments For Frost.bites, Stngs, Cuts, Itch Salt
Rheum, etc, there is nothing like the Centaur
Liniment, 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.

LAST DAYS.
Grants Cabinet in Consulta-
ton with Hayes.

WASHINGTON MARCH 6.--The men,
bers Of the cabinet who met with the
president to-day remained at the execu-
tive mansion two hours. The session
was devoted altogether to presentation
OF the affairs of their respective depart
ments and thorough explanation from
the different members Of the public mat
tiers entrusted to their consideration in
routine. Secretary Morrill,, representing
the treasury department, presented very
briefly the favorable condition of the
national finances. He spoke OF the in
creasing disposition abroad for invest
ment in our securities.
SOUTHERN AFFAIRS.
The other principal subject of national
interest alluded to at the session to-day
was the political condition of Louisiana,
the situation there seeming to be re-
garded as the central point upon which
Southern affairs may turn. Attorney
General Taft very fully expressed hi:
views regarding the subject, 1t being one
t-xlI -
ration from the department of justice
Judge Taft declines to state precisely
what position he assumed in presenting
this case to the president, but there is no
reason to believe that he was not dis.
posed to suggest any course which, il
determined upon, would be DISASTROUS
to the hopes of the Packard government.
AS far as can be learned, it is judged that
further consideration was thought to b
necessary, and that official reports on
file in the department of justice in rela.
ton to this state were respectfully re.
ferred to the consideration of the new
encouragement, when he shall be ap-
pointed.

thorough insight into the condition OF
public affairs. President Hayes was not
backward in stating his appreciation of

absolutely certain that the next regular
day OF meeting would witness an en-
tirely new assemblage OF this character.
