This preparation ia known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to any thing yet discovered for eradictating tick, soabor lice on sheep, goats or cattle. 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 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 farmer 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 yermin 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 Yermin 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 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 aftei* greedily by those vermin, while the household pets such as .cats and will not t buffi it in any form, and are therefore perfectly safe. - The above marvellous discovery has gained for Herman Bros, and 00., 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. & CO. 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.
