This preparation is known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to any thing yet discovered for eradistating tick,' scibq| lice on sheep, goats r- ItTs sufficient to say that One Shilling Packet of the. Powder dissolved in two buckets of water will wash Eighteen Sheep. This admits the most economial, as well fts the simplest plan in the world for the ctyre apd prevention of diseases incident to farm stock. By its use the firmer can seciire the health of his stock at the rate of |d pethea'd ! per annum. \ In all large Sheep Districts in Australia, Smith America, and Africa, no other pre paration is used. ' The vermin destroyer is also invaluable for the purpose of the Horticulturist; and it is most extensively-usecnby the Flower and Kitchen Gardener in* Ed rope, America/and the British pdsseasffens in all parts of the Globe. One packet, dissolved in two buckets of water will.servo fair over, .half au acre ol'grounK and will effecfbally prevent Blight and exclude all other garden pests. As ai'Yermirt Killer it is an unrivalled specific. Its use will speedily exterminate all household pests, such as bugs, cockroaches,.fleas on animals, moths in furs, and insects on birds of all kinds, from the canary to the poultry. For this purpose simple snd plain direciions are given on every packet. The powder can also be used in a dry state for the destruction of rats and mice. A little sprinkled on a slice of bread and butter, or a piece of meat or cheese is sought after greedily by those vermin, while the household pets such as cats and dogs will not toujh it in any form, and are therefore perfectly safe. , The above marvellous discovery has gained for Herman Bros, and Co., London,! the silver medal at the Intercolonial Exhibition at Melbourne, 1866, besides numerous testimonials from Government official and all the elite of the medical faculty in Europe. HERMAN BROS. & 00. beg to announce that they have appointed CHARLES NEATE, Chemist and Druggist, East street, their sole Agent for Ashburton and vicinity, and from him the preparation car be obtained in parcels.
