Herman’s WORLD-RENOWNED SHEEP WASH AND CELEBRATED VERMIN DESTROYER. This preparation is known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to. any thing yet discovered for eradiotating tick, sc-ibor lice on sheep, goats or cattle. It is sufficient to.say that One. Shining Pac.ket of the Powder dissolved in two buckets of water will wash Eighteen Sheep. This admits the most economist, as well rs the simplest plan in the world for the cure and prevention of diseases incident to iarm stock. By its use the firmer can secure the health of his stock at the rate of ;jd oer head per annum. In all large Sheep Districts in Austialia, South America, and Africa, no other pre paration is used. ihe vermin destroyer is also invaluable for the purpose of the Horticulturist; and it is most extensively used by the Flower and Kitchen Gardener n Europe, America, and the British possessions in all parts of the Globe. One packet dissolved in two buckets of water will serve for over half an acre of ground and will effectually prevent blight and exclude all other garden pests. ■ As a Vermin Killer it is an unrivalled specific. Its use will speedily exterminate ill household pests, such as bugs, cockroaches, fleas on animal*, moths in.furs, and nsects on birds of all kinds, from the canary to the poultry. For, this purpose simple md plain directions are given on every packet. The powder can also bo used in a Iry state for the destruction of rats and mice. A little sprinkled on a slice of bread ind 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 touih it in any form, and are :herefore perfectly safe. The above marvellous discovery has gained for Herman Bros, and Coi, Lo.ndon, die silver medal at the Intercolonial Exhibition at Meloourne, 1866, besides inmerous testimonials from Government official and all the elite of the 1 medical ’acuity in Europe. . . , HERMAN BROS. & CO. beg to announce that they have appointed CHARLES NEATE, Chemist and Druggist, East street, their sole Agent for ishburton and vicinity, and from him the preparation car be obtained in parcels. Price—One Shilling; or six packets for Five Shillings., Liberal reduction illowed to the trade. Manufactory-BEAUMONT SQUARE, MILE END ROAD, LONDON. 8 288
