This preparation is‘known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to; any thing yet discovered for eradicating scab or lice on sheep, goats or cattle. i It is sufficient to say that One Shilling Packet of the Powder dissolved in ; two buckets of ; water will wash Eighteen Sheep. This admits the moat 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 farmer.can secure the health of his’stock at the rate of |d per head per annum. ‘ u'< ■■ , 1 " In all large Sheep Districts in Australia, South America, and Africa, no ether 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 nil parts of the Globe. One packet dissolved ip 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. Itk use will speedily exterminate all household pests, such as bugs, cockroaches, fleas on animal?, moths in furs, and insects on birds of all kinds, from the canary; to the poultry. For this purpose simple and plain directions 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 ton ;h it in any form, and are 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 NE ATE, Cdemist and Druggist, East street, their sole Agent for Ashburton and vicinity, and from him the preparation car be obtained in parcels. Price—One Shilling ;or six packets for Five Shillings, Liberal reduction allowed to the trade. 1 . . ; Manufactory—BEAUMONT SQUARE, MILE END ROAD, LONDON. 8 2$
