Centaur
! M I: N / rs

THE GREAT PAIN RELIEVING and
curative remedies have already worked their
way into every hamlet where the English Ian
guage is spoken. That the reputation OF and
demand for such remedies as these are,
should extend and increase, could not be other
wise, THERE rs NO PAIN, soreness or
swelling which they will not alleviate. There
are but exceptional cases of constitutionat
humors and distorted joints, which they do no
cure, and none they will not benefit. They
are SOOTHING, absorbing and emollient.
They EXTRACT THE PAIN from and heal
burns and scalds without scars. For RHEU-
MATIC AFFECTIONS, pains in the back,
stiff joints, wounds, strains and eruptions, they
act with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY. These
preparations are of two kinds, the FAMILY
and the ANIMAL Liniments. Being univer-
sally adapted to the external ailments of man
and beast, the name of the HALF-HORSE
and HALF-MAN Centaurs was naturally at
tached to them. They perform cures never be-
fore effected by any remedy. Undoubte dly
more of them are sold than of all other lini-
ments, ontments, oils, embrocations, plasters
and so-called pain-lzillers combined.
The WHITE Centaur Liniment cures Rheu-
matism, Scatica, Lumbago and Tic doul-
ourux.
IT RELIEVES Neuralgia and all kinds of
pain.
IT HEALS wounds, sores, gals and pois-
onous bites.
IT CURES Itch, Pimples and Salt Rheum.
IT SUBDUES Inflammation and pain.
IT CURES broken breasts and sore nipples
BOILS, FELONS, ETC, are rendered near
ly painless,
CONTRACTED CORDS and stiff joints are
limbered.

The MaSSaQa.

The Presidents Message begins like a
Thanksgiving proclamation and ends like
the report of a school committee. The
greater portion between is given to plea
for civil service reform by commission, a
strong and well-considered plea. The case
is admirably presented from the Presidents
standpoint, and the forcible arguments ne
advances are shrewdly d temperately sta
ted. Perhaps they would have more weight
had they been preceded by action; for the
people, whether justly or not, have become
possessed of the idea that the policy of the
has been weak, vacillating and inconsistent
in the extreme. It behooves the President
to bear in mind the homely proverb that fine
words butter no parsnips.
1t should be said for the message that it is
manly and outspoken throughout The
President speaks firmly and frankly of all
the topics which he treats. His discussion
of the financial question is wise and timely.
He recommends as speedy an extingulsh-
ment of the public debt as is practicable,
government should be withdrawn as speedily
as consistent with the public interests. He
also supports the recommendation of the
Secretary of the Treasury in regard to the
limitation of the silver coinage, urging upon
Congress the danger of establishing the sin
gle standard if the mints are kept at work
striking off the standard silver dollars.
The President correctly interprets the les
son of the years elections as warning that
the people will insist upon universal securi-
ty and freedom in the exercise of the cleo
tive franchise. The summary Of the reports
of heads of Departments gives gratifying ev-
idence of good work done. New England at
least will be pleased to learn that the De-
partment of State is seriously engaged in an
attempt to finally settle the much-vexed
Fishery question. AS for the rest it is
pleasant to be officially assured that we are
at peace with the world, ''Indians untaxed
excepted" even though official communica-
tions with Greece havebeen broken off.
