and inspect them without delay. The
majority were of black lace; one, how
ever, ordered by a lady here, of brown
china craje, trimmed with gros grain
ribbon of another shade, and pink ros
es, was particularly noticeable. Some
of the lace bonnets had on sprays of
roses of two colors, a pink and a dark
red for instance, or a pink and a white
one, which is one of the latest caprices
of fashion. Go and see them.

it will not cure. This is strong

burns, salt-rheum, &e., upon the human

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 suffer from rheumatism, pain or
swelling deserve to suffer if they will not use
Centaur Liniment, more than 1000 certificates
of remarkable cures, including frozen limbs,
chronic-rheumatism, gout, running tumours, &c.
have been received. We will send a circular
containing certificates, the recipe, Sc., gratis to
to any one requesting it. One bottle of the yel
low wrapier Centaur Liniment is worth one
hundred dollars for foundered or sweenied hor
ses and mules, or for screw-worm in sheep.
Stock-owners this liniment Is worth your at
