Matson, Cox & Co- DIPPING SEASON, 1884 The Special Improved I Glycerine Dip, Soluble in cold water rjIHIS NON-POISONOUS DIP is a ,-I certain preventative and cure of scab, and ia unrivalled for the complete destruction of Ticks, Lice, and Parasites of every description infesting the skin of sheep, cattle, and other animals. It has gained the highest reputation, for it pos. I sesses the double advantage of simultane oualy repelling contagion and leausing the skin from filth. IT DOES NOT DISCOLOR THE WOOL Or act injuriously upon the natural yolk of same,, but feeds the fleece, maintains the natural lustre, and wonderfully pro motes its growth. The great risk in curred by introducing newly purchased stock amongst healthy animals already on the runs may be entirely avoided by using this Dip. The Dip is not a cheap chemi cal fluid, but a blend of ingredients (glycerine being one) which all tend to benefit the animal and the wool; a .id these ingredients are mixed by new power, ful steam machinery, so that a thorough consistency is always obtained. One dip ping with this Dip (in mid-fleece) will sav the great inconvenience of dipping twice as is the case with other dips. Sold in drums of 201 b (2 gallons) 501 b (5 gallons), 1001 b (10 gallons) ; 5s per gallon in single drums. A considerable reduction made in large quantities, for large flocks. Among the numerous testimonials we have received last season for this Glycer ine Dip, we select the following : From Reginald Foster, Esq., Sheep In spector North Canterbury— “ Amberley, North Canterbury, “ 17th April 1883. Wm. Buss, Esq., (Messrs Matson, Buss and Co.), Rangiora. “Dear Sir, —I have to-day made a care ful examination of Mr T. Croft’s sheep, which were dipped in my presence at Ashley, by Mr Hayward, on the 26th March, in Messrs Tomlinson and Hayward’s Glycer ine Dip. The result of my inspection to day is, 1 am pleased to be able to state, in every respect highly satisfactory. The sheep were badly infected with lice and ticks, and in consequence, not thriving. After they were dipped they were, at my request put back in the samo paddock from whence they came. To-day the sheep have the appearance of having thriven well since dipping. The Wool is SOFT AND SILKY TO THE TOUCH, AND IS unusually BRiQHr and glossy , considering the short space of time since they were Although the sheep smell strongly of the dip, there ia very slight stain on the wool, as may be seen by the samples I enclose. I found no live lice or ticks, and what is, in my opinion, highly important, tub tick were all dead. As the lice ova are noi easily visible to the naked eye, lam not able to say what condition they are in, but as they are supposed to hatch within fourteen days, and as there are no young lice to be seen, it may, I think, be taken for granted that they are also dead. I attribute this killing of the eggs to the length of time the shesp were kept in the dip—nearly a minute — which, in my opinion, ia not any too long. 11 1 am, dear Sir, “ Yours faithfully, (Signed ‘Reginald Foster.” Extracts from Letters from John Grigg, Esq., Longbeach, Canterbury, “ April 30, 1883—The general appsar arce of the flock is all that could be wished for.” . “May 10, 1883 —I am more and more pleased with the appearance of my sheep that were dipped ia your Dip, and 1 shall certainly use it next season. I will care fully note the appearance of the wool as compared with that in which other dips were used.” From John McCaw, Esq., Three Springs Station. “ Timaru, March 19, 1883. “I have been examining the effect of the Glycerine Dip on the sheep, and I find very satiffactory results, the ticks as well as the eggs being destroyed. Whilst hand ling the sheep I find our dipping has been very effective.” At the late exhaustive trial of sheep dips in Hawke’s Bay the judges reported as follows :—“At the second examination on the 18th October, we found the sheep dipped with Tomlins o a-.id Hay ward’s (Glycerine) free from parasites and wool in good order,” etc, etc. Vide Hawke's Bay Herald, Jau. 5, 1884. Wool dipped with the Glycerine Dip last year at the N.Z. and A. Land Company’s Stud Flock Station realised the highest price in the Loudon market. Vide Account Sales, 1883. The prize pen of Lincoln Sheep at the late Lincoln April Fair and Newark Fair were dipped with the Glycerine Dip, viz., R. A. and J. A. Thorpe’s, Nocton. Wool dipped with the Glycerine Dip obtained the Silver Medal at the late Faria Exhibition.

This preparation is known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to any thino' yet discovered for eradictating tick, scab or lice on sheep, goats or cattle. It°ia 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 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 Killer it is an unrivalled specific. Its Use will speedily exterminate all household peats, 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 simpl 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 touih 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 tfce .ntercolonial Exhibition at Melbourne, 1866, besides numerous testimonials from Government officia 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 cac be obtained in parcels Price—One Shilling ;or six packets for Five Shillings, Liberal reduction allowed to the trade.

The Cutting Ap paratus is acknowledge to be immeasurably superior to that on any other Harvester. The finger bar is of angle steel and the Angela of wrought iron. The Platform Belt runs within half an inch of the knife, enabling the Champion to cut and convey the shortest crop in good manner. The Butter Belt employed on machines is a rickety, rapidly running arrangement, and :s superseded in the Champion by an iron Butts Packer, durable and effective. The Viain Wheel is very high, has a broad tire, and the bearing in the.cenireis 16in long, is vastly superior to tbe main wheel of any other binder, and will run a dozen years, and not cant over or get loose and shaky. The Elavating Belts ort other harvesters are nearly perpendicular,, on the Champion, however, the angle is very slight, requiring much leas power to elevate the grain, and it is not necessary to run the belts so close together, the heads of the grain are not broken off or shelled out. Th<se features are only found in the Cham pion, and every farmer will realise their imprtance. The Binding Mechanism »s a combination of the best know systems, and a thoroughly perfected. The makers of the Champion control the Appleby pa ents, and all harvesters using this system pay them a" royalty. The Champion contains otier improvements too numerous to par ticularise, and must be seen to be appreciate!. _ .

TESTIMONIALS: From Rev. Charles Penny — Reefton (Late of Christchurch), March 17, 1884 I am happy to say your Pulmonic Elixir afforded my wife and children almost im mediate relief in coughs and colds, and many to whom I have had the pleasure of recommending your specific have ' spoken of it as invaluable. In one case when every remedy tried was powerless to give relief (the cough was so distressing) the first dose of your Elixir proved most effective. In another case (sore throat) a cure was soon brought about that the patient resolved in the future to take no thing else. Other cases could be cited, but these will be sufficient to show that your Pul monic Elixir is a remedy of no mean order. From C. F. Salter, Esq., Barrister and Solicitor— Inglia’ Buildings, Christchurch. March 20,1884 I have used your Pulmonic Elixir in my. family for some years past, and have 1 found it very efficacious in chest and throat complaints. From William Reed, Esq. / Shipping and Customs Agent— Lyttelton, Nov. 28. 1883. I have used your Lung Preserver in my family for the last fourteen years, there fore have the greatest pleasure in bearing testimony to its efficacy in the treatment * of coughs, colds, bronchitis, croup whoop ing cough, etc. I have recommended it to my friends, who have also proved it a very palatable and speedy cure for chest and throat complaints. I have uniformly found a single dose of “ Lung Preserver,” check a severe paroxysm of coughing. I shall on all occasions have great pleasure g in recommending it to sufferers, as I con sider it a boon to mankind. From Isaac Allen Esq. , Commission Agent-^ Hereford street, Christchurch, December 6, 1883. After seven years’ experience 1 have great pleasure in testifying to the efficacy of your “ Lung Preserver,” having proved it in my family to be a specific for coughs, colds, etc., a few doses invariably subdu ing the nasty harassing cough, while re lieving the throat and chest, it does not, like other nostrums, disorder the digestive organs by inducing nausea, constipation, headaches, loss of appetite, etc. I can heartily recommend it as the best, cheapest and most palatable mixture known for ’ coughs, colds, bronchitis, whooping cough, etc. &o highly do we | esteem it that we always keep a supply ’ on hand. From W. B. Scoxx, Esq., Builder, etc., Peterborough street, Christchurch, December 4, 1883. Some years ago I was recommended to try a bottle of your “ Pulmonic Elixir and. Lung Preserver,” for tightness in the cheat. I did so, and from that time I have never been without, it in the house. 1 have found it to answer in every respect for coughs, colds, and sore throat, and would strongly advise those that ate suf fering from such complaints to try it.
