FIRE AND MARINE RISKS TAKEN AT THE LOWEST CURRENT RATES. ASHBURTON AGENT— George Jameson. 24 rjl H E WONDER O F THE WORD D, Herman’s WORLD-RENOWNED SHEEP WASH AND CELEBRATED VERMIN DESTROYER. This preparation is known throughout tire civilised world to be far superior to any thing yet discovered for eradicating tick, sc;b or lice on sheep, goats or cattle. It is sufficient to say that One Shilling Packet of the Powder dis olved in two buckets of water will wash Eighteen Sheep. This admits the most economial, as well as the simplest plan in the world for the cure and prevention of diseases incident to farm stock. By its use the firmer can secure the health of his stock at the rate of |d per head per annum. In all large Sheep Districts in Australia, South 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 used by the Flower and Kitchen Gardener in 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 K>l!er it is an unrivalled specific. Its use will speedily exterminate alj household pests, such as bugs, cockroaches, fleas on animal?, moths in fu.-s, and insects on birds of all kinds, from the canary to the poultry. For this purpose simple Mid plain direcions 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 broad 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 touffi 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- .ntercolonial Exhibition at Melbourne, 1866, besides numerous testimonials from Government official and all the elite of the medical faculty in Europe. HERMAN BROS. & CO. beg to announce that they have appointed CHARLES NEATE, Chemist and Druggist, East street, their solo Agent for Ashburton and vicinity, and from him the preparation car bo obtained in parcels. Price—One Shilling; or six packets for Five Shillings. Liberal reduction allowed to the trade. Manufactory—BEAUMONT SQUARE, MILE END ROAD, LONDON. 8 28



ALTER A. WOOD’S IMPROVED Harvester, With now IRON FRAME TWINE BINDER, With new BUNDLE-CARRYING ATTACHMENT, Which Piles the Sheaves Ready fok Stocking, Thus SAVING THE LABOR OF gONE MAN TO THE FARMER. DISTINGUISHING FEATURES AND POINTS OF EXCELLENCE ON THE IRON FRAME BINDER. Separation of tlio bound from the unbound grain; delivery; the bundle; sizing the bundle.
