Centaur
LIN | M EN- is

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 is NO PAIN, soreness or
swelling which they will not alleviate. There
are bpt exceptional cases of constitutional
humors and distorted joints, which they do not
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. Undoubtedly
more of them are sold than of all other lini-
ments, ointments, oils, embrocations, plasters
and so-called pain-kilers combined
The WHITE Centaur Liniment cures Rheu-
matism, Sciatica, Lumbago and Tic doul-
ouruX.
IT RELIEVES Neuralgia and all kinds of
pain.
IT HEALS wounds, sores, gals and pois-
onous bites.
1T CURES Itch, Pimples and Salt .Rheum.
1T SUBDUES Inflammation and pain.

There is no doubt NO uncertainty as to what

than is advertised for them every time. They are
reliable, they are cheap, and they everywhere
obtainable.

The writer of the following words in the
Charleston Neaos shows better understand
ing of Northern sentiment than most South
Carolinians do:
There is very little doubt that the masses of
the Northern Republicans would grant us any
thing we asked, could they believe they dared
to do so, but they see in our demands and the
manner of asserting them, the position of Ap-
pomattox reversed. They fear the consequences
OF yielding everything that is asked, not know
ing but that the Union is still in danger if they
surrender their hands to be tied. They are
alarmed at the course of the majority in Con-
gress, and are looking to their own self-preser-
walton. What can we reasonably expect them
to do, when we are advancing in solid column,
and demanding of the President what he has
the right to refuse under the constitution, and
which was not absolutely necessary for us to
ask, at the present? We have everything in
South Carolina just as we wanted it; we have
elected our best men to office, without any
trouble for the want of these amendments and
in the interest of peace and harmony all over
the land might have suspended these demands
until returning confidence in Democratic 10y
atty to the Union had won from the Republi-
cans themselves perfect willingness to have
voted with us in the repeals that we ask.

THERE has been great demand in New
York for the ten dollar certificates. Friday
fully five hundred women and children
crowded the Post-Office corridors, waiting
their turn. Many of these bloated capital
lists brought their luncheons with them, and
thus justly provoked the ire of the new
school of financiers, the currency reformers
who believe a gurgle is preferable to a
lunch at any time, and that one who prefers
bread to beer is a Shylock.
