There Is no pain which the
Centaur Eininient will not re
lieve, no swelling it will not
subdue, and no lameness which
It will not cure. This is strong
language, but it is true. Where
the parts are not gone, its effects
. are marvellous. It has produced
more cures of rheumatism, neu-

swellings, ear-ache, cated-breasts, scalds,
burns, salt-rheum. &e., uimhi 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
