ucsSos III tasting harmony.
To the Editor of ARGUS III
We would not insult intelligence by discussing
the ridiculous story of live Centaur-an animal
half horse and half man. said to have been captured
in the Indian Territory. Our December publication
simply recited the NEUROLOGICAL legend of the an
clients who believed in these Hybred creatures
We traced the origin OF the Centaurs from Ixion
and Juno down to their reported home on Mt.
Olympus and exploits upon the Magnetism
plains. We stated that as the alleged founders oil
the Healing art, Esculapius, Centaurean God, is
TO this day the insignia of the medical profession
Astronomers recognized their proves by giving TO
the grandest constellation in the heavens the name
OF Centaurus. The Queen of plants, blossomfng
only once in a hundred years, was dignifed by
ootanists as Century plant. We sserted thes-
interesting facts and stated why the wonderful
remedies OF which so much is being sad, were
called Centaur Liniments AS the Centaurs, hall
horse and half man, were worshpped for their med
icina ski remedies which absolutely cure the all
ments OF man and animals, are very felicitousy in
our. destination, called after the Centaurs. We dis
tncty stated that the Ingredients in the two prep
| arations, were differently compounded. 1t is not 0
pleasant thing for a clearly house wife to use 6

Eminent is beautiful White and oderous prepara-
ton; the Animal Linlment is stronger and is Vel
| low in color What caused the rage of our critics
was their knowledge that the Centaur preparations
