Matson, Cox & Co. : DIPP?NG SEASON, The Special Improved Glycerine Dip, ' ' Soluble in cold water fnHIS NON-POISONOUS DIP is a J certain preventative and cure of scab, and u unrivalled for the complete destruction of Ticks, Lice, and Parasites •of description infesting the skin of ;shee'p,.cattle, and other animals. It has gained the highest reputation, for itpoa ' 'aesses the double advantage of aimultane ously repelling contagion and leansing the,akin from filth. . ,L . v ' ‘ * I 1! DOES NOT DISCOLOR THE-WOOL act injuriou .3y upon the natural yolk of same, but feeds the floooe, maintains - the natural lustre,- and wonderfully pro motes its' growth. 'the great risk in —curred by introducing newly purchased " slock 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 qpimal and the wool; and these ingredients are mixed by new power. /uLateam machinery, so that a thorough oonsistenoy is always obtained. One dip* ' pfhg with this Dip (in mid-fleece) will sav tbs great inconvenience of dipping twice as is the case with other dips. Sold in drums of 201 b (2 gallons) 501 b ’ gallons), 1001 b (10 gallons) ;5s per gallon in ainglo 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 : ! Reginald Foster, Esq , Sheep. In spector North Canterbury— “ Amberley, North Canterbury, “17th April 1883. f Wm. Buss, Esq., (Messrs Matson, Burs and Co,)j 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 Hay ward, on the 26th March, in Messrs Tomlinson and Hayward’s Glycer ine Dip. The result of my inspection to day is, I 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 same paddock from whence they came. To-day the sheep.bavethe appearance of having thriven well since dipping. The Wool is 80VT AMD SILKY TO THE TOUCH, AKD IS UR USUALLY bright and glossy, considering the short space] of time since they were 'dipped;' Although the sheep smell strongly of the dip, there is very slight •tain on the wool, as may be seen by the samples I enclose. I found no live lice ;.or ticksrsud what is,,in my- opinion, highly Eimpdrtant, tub tick eggs weee all dead. As the lice ova are noi easily visible to thefcakbd eye, I am not able to say what condition they are in, but as they are supposed to' hatch within fourteen days, &nd«s there are no young |ice to be seen, it may, I think, be taken for granted that they am also dead. I attribute this killing - of the eggs to the length of time the sheep we?6;kept in the dip—nearly a minute— which, in my opinion, is Dot any too long. ‘M am, dear Sir, “ Yours faithfully, .

This preparation is known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to any thing yet diacoveied for eradicating tick, scab or 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 firmer can secure the health of his stock at the rate of |d per head per annum. ' In all largo 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 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 sitnpl and plain directions are given on every packet. The powder can also bo used in a dry state for the destruction of rata and mice. A little sprinkled on a slice of bread and butter, or a piece of meat or choose 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 Go., London, the silver medal at the .n|eroolonial 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, T Chemist and Druggist, East street, their solo Agent for Ashburton and vicinity, and from him the preparation cat be obtained in parcels. t> • a.. - oi.:n:—. 1.„. „ e,™ <4hiii<nn<i Liberal reduction or six packets for Five Shillings.

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 0. F.

I have uniformly found a single dose of “ Lung Preserver,” check a severe paroxysm of coughing. I shall on all occasions have great pleasure 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 I 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. So highly do we esteem it that we always keep a supply on hand.
