of abandoning the contest, we are watching the •
movements of our wily adversary, ready at a mo

indigt.atienlais conduct so richly merits. I speak
individually—for in reality we have only one man
to contend with and he, by the lasity of our-citi

the city authorities,
too, have allowed him such
sway as to cause him to think (very erroneously,
as the sequel will prove, )he is omnipotent, or from
their shrinking from tuts duty, causing him to de
spite their capacity.. The heads of the other roads
are reasonable men, 'who, in their. desire *Dr a

• Mexican Mustang Liniment.
The parties in St. Lotus and Cincinnati, who
have been Counterfeiting the Mustang Liniment
under pretence of proprietorship, hays been tho
roughly estopped by the Courts. To guard agains
farther imposition, I have procured from the U.S
Treasury, a pritate steel plate revenue stamp,
which is placed over the top of each bottle. Each
stamp bears the fete sinus of my ignature, and
without winch the article is a Counterfeit, dati,
germs and worthless Imitation. Examine every
bottle. This Liniment has been in use and grow
ing in favor for many years. There hardly exists
•-•wilet on tate habitable Glabe that does not con

best emollient in the world. With its present im
proved ingredients, its effects upon man and beast
are perfectly remarkable. Sores are healed, pains
relieved, lives saved, valuable animals made use
ful, and untold ills assuaged. For cuts, bruises,
sprains, rheumatism, swellinge,bites l cuts,cakea
breasts, strained horses, &c, it is a Sovereign Re

should be in every family. Sold by all Druggists.
