Centaur Liniment.
There is no pain which the
Centaur Liniment will not re
lieve, no swelling it will not
subdue, and no lameness which
it will not cure, 'i bis is strong
language, but it is true. Where
the parts are not gone, its eftects
arc marvellous. It has produced
more cures of rheumatism, neu-
kT'vpcz ralgia, lock-jaw, palsy, sprains,
swellings, ear-ache, caked-breasts, scalds,
burns, salt-rheum, &c., 'ipon the human
frame, and of strains, spavin, galls, &c,
upon animals in one year than have al
other pretended remedies since the world
began. It is a counter-irritant, an all-healing
pain-reliever. Cripples throw away their
crutches, the lame walk, poisonous bites are ren
dered harmless, and the wounded are healed
without a scar. It is no humbug. The recipe is
selling as no article ever before sold, and it sells
because it does just what it pretends to do.
Those who now s-.ifTer from rheumatism, pain or
swelling deserve to suffer if they will not use
Centaur Liniment, more than HWH) ceitificates
of reiuarka'de cures, including frozen limbs,
chrouie-i heuinatlsTii, gout, running tumours. &c.
have been received. We will send a circular
containing certificates, the recipe, &c. gratis to
to any one rco'iesting it. One bottle of the yel
low wrapper Centaur Linimer.t is worth one j
hundred dollars for foundered orsweenied hor- j
ses and mules, or for screw-worm in sheep.
Stock-owners this liniment is worth your at- '
tention. No family should be without Centaur i
Liniment. .T. 1. IIosk & Co., New York. 4o-ly 1
