1othe Editor Of The Tines:
Wewould not insult intelligence by discuss
| ing the ridiculous story of live Centaur-ai
animal half horse and half man, said To hav,
been captured in the Indian Territory. Gu
| December publication simply recited In,
NEUROLOGICAL legend Of the ancients who be
lieved in these Hybred creatures. We traced
the origin of the Centaurs from Ixion and Ju
no down TO their home On Mt. Olympus and
exploits upon the Magnetism plains. We
stated that as the alleged founders Of the heal.
ing art, Esculapius, a Centaurean God. is to
this day the insignia OF the medical profess
sion. Astronomers recognized their proves
by giving TO the grandest constellation in the
heavens the name Of Centaurus. The Queen
of plants, blosSoming only once in 100 years,
was dignified by botanists as Century plant.
We reasserted these interesting facts and
stated why the wonderful remedies Of which
SO much is being said, were called Centaur
Liniments. AS the Centaurs, half horse and
half man, were worshipped for their medical
skill, remedies which absolutely cure the all
ments of man and animals, are very felicitous-
ly In our estimation called after the Centaurs.
We distinctly stated that the ingredients in
pounded. II is not a pleasant thing for q
cieanly house wife to use a remedy brought
from the stable. The Family Liniment is n
beautiful White and oderous preparation /;
the Animal Liniment is stronger and is Vel
low in color. What caused the rage Of our
critics was their knowledge that the Centaur
preparations were effecting more marvellous
cures and obtaining a larger sale than
all other Liniments, Ointments, Extracts,
Pain-KiIIers and Panaceas combined. They
are not advertised as cure-alls for
broken legs and empty skulls, but are
warranted to alleviate pain and effect cures
where cures are possibilities. We publish
list of the ingredients, SO that a way faring
s,cian and every old woman knows the viz
tues OF Witch Hazel, CaIbDlic, Arnica, Rock
Oil, Ammonia, Norwood, Borax, &c, de-
each healing, soothing, astringent and pain
extracting agent. Every one of the tesiimo-
nis.s in our publication, aud in wrappers
around the bottles were written by the ply
sicians and persons whose names they bear.
Any OF them can be easily verified. So much
confidence have We in the efficacy of these
preparations, that We will give them to any
one doubling the representations made. We
" i'll present any person a hundred dollars,
who having used either kind of the
Liniments according to directions, Will
prove to us he or she has not been
benefited as is stated. The White Liniment
Will heal Burns and Scalds without a scar.

stiff joints and strained cords. Nothing has
ever been discovered like it for rheumatism.
Neuralgia, Sciatica, SwelIings, Proud-iesh,
Ulcers, Bruises, Sore Nipples, Broken Breasts,
&c. IL is the best external remedy for sore
throat, bronchitis, Quinsy, Mnmps, Group,
&c, ever used. 1t will remove disgusting
Pimples and Freckels from the face and
hands, and is very efiicacious for Salt Rheum.
The yellow Centaur Liniment can always he
reied upon for SPAWN, Gals, Sweeny Scratch
as, Strins-Ialt Strains, Sprains, &c, on horses,
mules and other animals. 1t is in in fact the
only article yet discovered, which will kill
Sore w rm in Sheep without injury to the
animals. 1t is worth its weight in gold to
farmers, planters, rancheros, livery-men and
