V, WORLD-RENOWNED SHEEP WASH AND OELEB RATED VERMIN DESTROYER. This preparation is known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to any thing yet discovered for eradicating tick, scab or lice on sheep, goats oroaijle. < It is sufficient to say that One Shilling Packet of the Powder dissolved in. two buckets of water will wash Eighteen Sbeep. This admits the most ecohomial, aswell as the simplest plan in the world for the cure and prevention, of diseases incident to farm stook. By its use the firmer can secure the health of hisstook at the rate of Jd pet head per , annum. i 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 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 Qlobe. One packet dissolved in two buckets of water will serve for over half an acre of gronnd 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 all household pests, such as bugs, fleas on animals, moths m furs, and insects on birds of all kinds, from the canary to the poultry. For this purpose flimpL and plain diroc ions are given on every packet. . The powder can also be used in* 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 bythose vermin, while the household pets such as cats and dogs will not touih it in any form,.and are therefore perfectly safe. , . , , _ ' ' •’' The above marvellous discovery has gamed for Hermanßros. and Oo.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.
