THE IMPROVED Glycerine Dip FOR SHEEP AND LAMBS. WILL MIX WITH COLD WATER. Beware of Spurious Imitations. This non-poisonous Dip is a certain 'pre ventative and cure of Scab, and is un rivalled for the complete destruction of Ticks, Lice, and Parasites of every de scription infesting the skin of Sheep, Oattle, and other animals. It has gained the highest reputation, for it possesses the double advant age of simultaneously repel ling contagion and cleansing the , skin from filth. It does not discolor the Wool, 1 or act in juriously upon the natural Yolk of same, but feeds the fleece, maintains the natural lustre, and wonderfully promotes its 'growth. The great risk incurred by in troducing newly purchased stock amongst healthy animals already on the runs may be entirely avoided by dressing them with this Dip. This Dip is not a cheap chemical fluid, but a blend of ingredients (Glycerine being one) which all tend to benefit the animal and the wool, and these ingredients are mixed'by new'powerful steam ma chinery, so that a thorough consistency is always obtained. One dipping with this. Dip (in mid fleece) will save the great in convenience of dipping twice, as is the case with other Dips. Sold in drums 201 b (2 gallons) 501 b (5 gallons), 1001 b (10 gallons). 6s per gallon in single drums. A considerable reduction made on large quantities for large flocks. Among the numerous testimonials we have received for this Glycerine Dip, we select the following from Purvis Russell, Esq., Hawke’s Bay, who has used this Dip annually for eight years-: “ Messrs Tomlinson and Hayward, the .‘ Glycerine Dip’ Manufactory, Lincoln. “ Gentlemen, —I have much pleasure in recommending your * Glycerine Dip’ to the flockmasters of New Zealand. I have used it myself in the colony, Woburn, Waipu kUrau, for the last seven or eight years, where the best results have been obtained, and since many use it in this country I have no hesitation in pronouncing it for promoting the growth of wool, destroying ticks, curing scab, and improving the general health and condition of the animal . superior to any other application yet discovered, i shall be glad to hear that your Mr Hayward’s visit to the colony may le°d to an extensive use of your ‘ Glycerine Dip ’ throughout New Zealand. —I am, dear Sir, yours respect fully, “ (Signed) Purvis Russell.

GRATEFUL COMPORTING EPPS’S COCOA. BREAKFAST. BY a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well selected cocoa, Mr, Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us ( many heavy doctor’s hills. * 'lt isby the judicious use of such articles of diet that' a Constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist 1 every "ten!' penoy to disease. Hundreds of subtl maladies are floating around us ready */ attack wherever there is » ' weak point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping, ourselves well fortified with pur blood and a properly nourished frame.— See article, in the Civil-Service Gazette. Made pimply with boiling water or milk Sold only in packets, labelled :-r ; EPPS AND CO., HOMCaOi*iTHIO CHEMIST. LONDON. ALSO, EPPS CHOCOLATE ESSENCE These Oakes are principally prepared from Herbs, and do not contain any dan gerously active ingredients. They have a wonderful effect in curing ’ children, dk well as f grown persons, by removing the worms. They have been with great suc cess iutroduey iDoO the principal families in Europe, Australia,- < and New Zealand. They are guaranteed to do away, in a very short time, with many serious like Bronchitis, Piles; Ulcers, Ulcerated Throats, etc., if taken in time, as these sicknesses are often caused by worms -of all kinds, espeoiolly by the Tape Worm, and by the most dangerous Thread Worm, which, if , not destroyed in time, will soon create the hatdly-curable Worm Fever. The smallest, the Thread Worm, will more than any other worm penetrate through all the crevices of the body up to the brain! An example was recently wit nessed, where a child falling continually into fits (the parents not knowing the cause) at last died with the brain affected by the too fatal Thread Worm. Still more recently there was a case, a grown man whose seat was affected by the Thread Worm, and who, after trying many sorts of remedies, without effect was directly relieved by a dose of ,R HEILBRON’S WORM CA&ES~ FOE AFTERNOON U, V-. DR HEILBRON’S Worm Cakes.



There are cases where the worms come away that they almost can be counted ; then often they come away in whole clots, and sometimes in a thick and slimy stuff, and although not so perceptible, still they are caused to' leave by Dr Heilbron’s Worm Cakes. And there have been other cases where children affected with Worms, when coughing or sneezing, do discharge them through the mouth and nose. The symptoms of Worms are generally as follows :—Lassitude, Giddiness, De pression of Spirits, Impaired Appetite (which if not acted against, will engender diseases of the bile), Disorder of the Stomach and Digestive Organs, Sick Headaches, Vomiting, Disturbed Sleep, and many more serious complaints, in cluding Fits, of which last many persons have been cured by these Worm Oakes. No time should be lost in removing these Worms, else the consequence will be seri ous, as they will increase in size and quantity, and ultimately spread through out the intestines. If Worms are ne glected for a time they will do so much damage as to make it beyond human skill to restore and reorganise the system of digestive organs. DIRECTIONS FOR USB. The quantity of .these Worm Oakes to be taken at a dose depends mostly on the age and constitution of the patient. In most cases a couple of doses will drive the worms away for many years, if not en tirely. As a standard : A dose for a child up to 2 years will be half a Cake ; from 2 to 4 years old, one whole Cake ; from 4 to 8 years, one Cake and a half ; from 81 „ 14, two Oakes ; and so to increase with the age, but never more than four Cakes at one dose. Grown females may gene rally take , three Cakes at a dose, and grown men four Cakes, according to con stitution. The most effective way of using these Worm Cakes is by taking the dose before going to bed, and on the following morning to take a cup of hot tea before breakfast. 1 . I am not certain how long 1 may stay in this town, and as these Worm Oakes can be obtained at a very small .ex pense families will do well to have always a small supply of them at their houses.
