PLAIN TALK.

We would not insult intelligence by discuss
ing 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 ancients who be-
lieyed 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 Mag
nesian plains. We stated that as the al
legged founders of the Healing art Esculapius,
Centaurean God, is to this day the insignia of
the medical profession. Astronomers recog-
nized their prowess by giving to the grandest
I constellation in the heavens the name of Gen.
taurus. The queen of plants, blooming only
once in a hundred years, was dignified by
botanists as Century plant. We reasseIted
these interesting facts as stated why the Won
derful remedies OF which so much is being
said, were called Centaur Liniments. AS
the Centaurs, half horse and half man,
were. worshiped for their medical
skill, remedies which absolutely cure the
ailments of man and animals are very felci-
tously, in our estimation, called after the Gen.
taurs. We distinctly stated that the ingredi-
ents in the two preparations were differently
compounded. 1t is not pleasant thing for a
cleanly housewife to use a remedy brought
from the stable. The Family Liniment is a
beautiful White and odorous preparation; the
Animal Imminent is stronger, and is Yellow in
color. What caused the rage of our critics was
their knowledge that the Centaur prepara-
tons. Were effecting more marvellous cures
and obtaining a larger sale than all other
Liniments, Ointments, Extracts, Pain Killers
and Panaceas combined. They are not adver-
skulls, but are warranted to alleviate pain and
effect cures where cures are possibilities. We
publish list of the ingredients, so that way
faring man, though a fool, may understand.
Every physician and every old woman knows
the virtues of Witch Hazel, Carbolic, Arn1ca,
Rock Oil, Ammonia, Norwood, Borax, etc.,
etc.-each "a healing, soothing astringent and
pain extracting agent. Every one of the
testimonials in our publication, and in
wrappers around the bottle, were
written by the physicians 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 repre-
sensations made. We will present any person
hundred dollars who, having used either
kind of the Liniments according TO directions,
VIII prove to us he or she has not been bene-
fitted as is stated. The White Liniment will
heal Burns or Scalds without scar. 1t extracts
poison from Stings and Bites, and will subdue
Inflammation, timber stiff joints and strained
cords. Nothing has ever been discovered like
it for Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sciatica,
Swellings, Proud Flesh, Ulcers, Bruises, Sore
Nipples, Broken Breasts, etc. 1t is the best
external remedy for Sore Throat, Bronchitis,
Quinsy, Mumps, Group, etc., ever used. 1t VIII
remove disgusting Plmples and Freckels
from the face and hands, and is very effica-
cious for salt Rheum. The Yellow Centaur
Liniment can always be relied upon for Spav-
in, Calls, Sweeny, Scratches, String Halt
Strains, Spraius, .etc., on horses, mules and
other animals. 1t is in fact the only article
yet discovered which Will kill Screw Worm in
sheep without injury TO the animals. 1t is
worth its weight in gold to farmers, pls nters,
rancheros, livery men and owners of domestic
animals. Such testimonials as these of which
the following are specimens, were never before
voluntarily and truthfully written of any
other healing remedy. A thousand similar
ones viii be sent gratis, upon application. No
tice residence eud names.
