Centaur
Linii1nentS.

One thing is now thoroughly established. Never
since man suffered and human agencies alleviated
pain, has there been anything which went so far
as 4 pain annihilator and curative agent as the
Centaur Liniments. These Liniments have within
the past year cured more cases of Rheumatism,
Neuralgia, Stir. joints, Caked Breasts, Swellings,
Poisonous Bites, Burns, Lame Animals, ETC., etc.,
than all other remedies combined. As the name
of Centaur implies half horse and half man, the
Centaur Liniments are for man and beast. But
not the same Linment The White Lument 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 Hazel
Arnica Carbolic, Rock Oil, Mentha and other
powerful ingredients.
WIN. ii. Hickcox, Rector OF st. Johns E. Church
Wakefield, Clay Co., Kansas, writes: MANY years
have been suffering from Weak Back, caused
from sprain more than 40 years ago. have not
found anything TO relieve me until commenced
the use OF Centanr Liniment. l feel 1t my Chris
tan duty to inform you that by Its wonderlu l effects
l am entirely relieved of pain. January 22d, 1876"
Messrs. J. Mcclure & 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, Salves
and Ointments in existence not doing onc.tenth
the good which is done by these admirable Centaur
Luiments For Prostitutes, Stings Cuts, Itch, Salt
Rheum, ETC., there is nothing like the Centaur
Liniment, White Wrapper. For SPAWN, Ring. bone.
Sweeney, Wind Calls. Pol-evil, Scratches, ETC., on
horses, the Yellow Centaur Lnment Is equally as
good. They are certain in their effects; they are
pleasant to USE they handy and they are cheap.
No family should be without CentAur Lniments.
They are worth one hundred times their cost.

In Russia the common cockroach (blatta
orientalis) is a favorite popular remedy for
dropsy DR.. P. Bogomolow, ofSt Petersburg,
has lately examined its effects in nine cases OF
Bright's disease, heart disease, and other af-
fections accompanied with severe dropsy, and
in all the result was the same. There was an
increase in the secretion of the urine and
perspiration, with rapid disappearance of e
dema and also almost complete disappearance
from the urine OF albumen and rental deriva-
tives The dose was five to ten grains of the
powdered cockroaches in the twenty four
hours, but they were also administered as a
tincture and as an infusion. These insects
do not, like cantharides. says the Boston
Journal of Chemistry, produce any irrirant
action of the kidneys. DR.. Bogomolow has
succeeded in extracting from them a crystal
line body which he calls antihydropin, and
which is their active principle.
Now, won't somebody discover
some means to utilize the grasshop-
pers? Who knew what sovereign
medical powers Turk in their ugly

Thinking you would like some facts
for future reference about the locusts
l write you. They began Matching
in April and have continued same up
to the present time. Some are nearly
full grown and have commenced flying
and leaving us to-day. The main body
of them will not leave under two
weeks. They have destroyed every
thing excepting squashes and peas.
The latter they eat when they can find
no other food. The meadows are bad
ly damaged. We have fought them
from the time they first began to
hatch until they had our crops ate
up. We are surrounded by timber
marshes and lakes. We thought with
these natural advantages in our favor
we could destroy the most of them,
but we had no idea of the magnitude
of the crops. Contrary to our belief
the eggs were deposited in the woods
and marshes, meadows and stubble
land. Our only chance to raise any
thing now is to plant early potatoes.
and SOW buckwheat and turnips but /
think the chances are against our
raising anything for there are a great
many young ones that will not leave
before the lst. of August.
The prospects ahead for the farmer
are very gloomy. some of them have
sowed their last bushel of wheat and
mortgaged their stock to procure it.
To-day they have nothing they can re-
aliZe from. Some have started for
the southeastern part of the state for
work, others have gone to Fort Gary
and the Black Hills. If the general
government had offered bounty they
would have had work at home and
prevented the spread OF the plague.

crop of Kandiyohi county. The lesson
to us is never to sow grain when To-
Gusts eggs are thickly deposited.
