THE GREAT PAIN RELIEVING and
curative remedies have already worked their
way into every hamlet where the English lam
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 but 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-killers combined.

THIS is the way they are talking all over
the State. The Lewiston journal gives
these instances:
A soldier came to the journal office Friday
morning to learn the war record of Daniel F.
Davis. After looking over the letters of his
comrades he remarked: '"These statements
are different as black and white. don't
see why our Greenback papers published that
article from the Standard will say this: L
am Greenbacker, but 1 shall vote next Sep
tember for Daniel F. Davis, if live till that
time"
Incidents like the following are happening
daily: A young man who last year voted the
opposition ticket, upon reading E. f. Pills
bury's attacks upon the war record of Mr..
Davis, remarked: f"That fixes me. vote for
Davis this fall" And such by thousands may
be counted the good fruits of this Democratic
leaders mistake.

Mr.. GLADSTONE has high opinion of

1t will never, 1 hope, through cowardice or
affectation, be ashamed of the character of a

THE Washington correspondent If the
Boston Adrertiser SAYS universal interest
attaches there to the forthcoming speeches
OF Secretary Sherman in Maine. They will
be accepted as the basis upon which the
Republicans will conduct the coming cam
paign so far as financial questions are con-
cerned. 1t is expected, also, that Mr.. Sher-
man will devote considerable attention to
the political record made by the Democrats
at the late session. The admitted fact
among Republicans that Mr.. Sherman is
now one of the most prominent candidates
for nomination by the next national conven-
ton, is adding greatly to the interest felt in
the speeches which he is now preparing.
