We take pleasure in voluntarily expressing our favogabxe opinion of Drs. Price and Brewer as physicians and as gentlemen. If no other proof of their ability was accessible, this fact alone would hzve much weight, that they have made visits reguldrly for years, and succeeded in building up a successful practice where- s 0 many pretenders have failed. We do not count the Doctors as traveling physicians since their appointments are so regularly kept. As business men, in their dealings with the Press, we have always found them prompt, cout teous and obliging, ever ready to fulfil their share of the contract, and setting in this respect a good example to the many jugglers who wander.the country over, calling themselves Physicians (!) Drs. Price and Brewer must not be confounded with these.

We would advise all sufféring from any chronic disease to Jose no time in consulting Drs. Price and Brewer, who will make their next visit to Lig.onier, Ligonier House, on Wednesday, January 10th. . o

WE would call the attention of our musical friends to the following magazines: : .

:Peters’ Household Melodies; containing five or six beautiful songs and choruses. i :

Peters’ Parlor Music, containing several easy piano pieces. : La Creme de la. Creme, a collection of difficult piano musi¢ by the best European authors. ! Peters’ Organ Selections, for Reed or Pipe organ. o = Peters’ Sacred Selections, containing hymns, anthems, etc. : Peters’ Octavo Choruses, containing four choice choruses for singing societies. : : S

"These magazines are published at the uniform price of $2 per annum, post-paid, and. we have no hesitation in saying that they are unequaled in quality, cheapness and elegance.— Give your newsdealer 25 cents, and tell him to order asample copy, or send direct to the publisher, J.

CENTAUR

LINIMENTS.

So nearly perfect are the reccipts of these wonderful pain soothing and healing Centanr Liniments, that we can confidentially say they will nlleviateany pain arising from flesh, bone ‘or musc'e derangements. We do not pretend that they will mend a broken leg 0. exterminate ‘boils, buteveninsuch cases they will reduee the inflammation and stop the pain. Nor can we guarantee the proper resnlts where the body is poisoned by whisky. Temperance is as necessary to a proper physical, as mental condition. - ¢

! The White Centanr Liniment ispsr‘ticularly adapted to all cases of Rheumatisin, Lumbago, Neuralgia, Erysipelas, Itch, Sprains, Chillblains, Cuts, Bruises, Stings, Poisons, Scalds, Sciatica, Weak Back, Pajns in the Side. Wounds, Weeping Sinews, Bnrnas,, Frosted Feet, Palsy, Ear-ache, ‘Tooth—-aché, Head-ache, Ulcers, Old Sores, Broken Breasts, Sore Nipples, Sore Throat, Croup, Diptheria, &. The mott of these com plaints the Centaur Liniment will cure; all of them it will bendft. It will axtiractihe nois. son from bites and stings, and will care burns and scalds withoat a scar. The following ie bat a sample of a\lhousa’fd similar izes;mnoninls:L loy ; AnTioOR, ILL., Dec. 1, 1874, 'My wife has, fora long time, been a terrible sufferer from Rheumatism She has. tried many physicians and many remedies. The only thing which has given her relief is Centanr Liniment. ’i am rejoiced to say this has-cured her. . : W. H. RING, Postmaster. It is an indisputabie fact that the Centaar Liniments are performing ‘eures mever before effected by any. preparation in existence—like. Chronic Rheumatism ofit hirty years’standing, straightening fingers and joints wpich had been gtiff for six years, taking the soreness fiom burns, &c. . i

One dollar, or even fifty cents, invested in Centaur Liniment will be within reach when an aeeltllént oecurs, and will do more good than any amount of money paid for medical attendance. When physicians are called they frequently use this Liniment, and of course charge several pricee for it, ° . g _ :

The Yellow Centaur Liniment is adapted to ‘the tough \akip.«}muscles‘and flesh of the animalcreation. Its effects upon severe cases of Spavin, Sweeny, Wind-Gall, Big-Head and Poll-Evil, are little less than marvelous.. | Messre. J. McClure & Ceo,, Druggists, cor. Elm; and Front Sts., Cincinnati, 0., says: . L

In our neighboroood a number of teamsters are using the Centaur Liniment. They pronounce it superior to anything theg have ever used. We eell as high as four to five dozen bottles per month to owners of horses and mules. 3 :

We have volumes of testimonials deseribing cures of Sprains, Kicks, Galls, Poll-Evil, BigHead, and Founders, which are little less than marvels. No owner of an animal can afford to be without a bottle-of Cenfour Liniment, which'any day may prove werth twenty times its costs, - - Sold everywhere, but prepared only at the Laboratory of J. B.

Castoria! Cross, sickly babies and children may enjoy health, and mothers have rest, if they will use Castoria. Worms, teething, wind colic, sour stomacn and undigested food make children’ cross and produces sickness. | o Castoria will assimilate the feod, expel worms, and correct all theze things. For 20 years Dr. Pitcher experimented in his private practice to produce an effective cathartic and stomach reguniator which would be as effective as Canstor oil, without its unpleasant taste or recoil. - : : e _ The reputation of his experiment extended. Physicians and nurses rapidly adopted his remedy, to which he gave the name ef Castoria. Castoria is as pleasant to take as homey, regulates tl:e stomach and bowels. and does not gripe. It is adapted to all ages, contains no alcohol, aud is mbsoiutely harmiess to the most tender infant. . B Try Castoria once, and you will mever be -without it. : ! e Prepared at the Laboratoryof J.
