This preparation is known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to any thing yet discovered for eradicating tick, scab or lice on shoap, goats or cattle. It is sufficient to say that One Shilling Packet of the Powder dissolved In two backets of water will wash Eighteen Sheep. This admits the most eoonomial, 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 \i per head per annum. In al large Sheep Districts In Australia, South America, and Africa, no other pm paration la used. The vermin destroyer is also invaluable for the purp 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 slmpl and plain directions are given on every packet. The powder can also he used in dry state for the destruction of rats and mica. A little sprinkled on a slice of bread and butter, or a piece of meat or cheese is sought after greedily by those verm l r while the household pets such as cats and dogs will not touch it in any form, and a. therefore perfectly safe. The above marvellous discovery has gained for Herman Bros, and 00., London, the silver medal at the jatercolonial 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 NBATE, Chemist and Druggist, East street, their sole Agent for Ashburton and vicinity, and from him the preparation car fca obtained in parcels.

Medical Q N B WORD. Dear Friends —We have so .Re hesita tion in addressing you in the manner fal lowing, but hope that it will not be looted at in any invidious light, when we state that it is only our regard for your health that causes us to do it. We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years, and have in the long course of this time manufactured certain Medicines that being based on scientific formula and absolhte care and precision in manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far in advance of any other Pharmaceuti cal Preparations of the day. How suc cessful we have been in this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Hay dock a New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Yials of Dr Haydock’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de mand is because we find in Bay dock’s New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of' Science— Electric Telegraphs, Steam and Printing —revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet ter. So, although there are countless Pills used for diseases and claiming much as to their merit, the remarkable dis covery of Dr Haydook has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay dock’s New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach in perfect order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its func tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is invigorated and sustained.

Consumption, Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Asthma, Whooping Cough, Sore Throat, and all affections of the Chest and Throat, EFFCTUALLY RELIEVED & CURED BY BAXTER’S Lung Preserver. TESTIMONIALS . From Rev. Chables Penny — Reefton (Late of Christchurch), March 17, 1884. I am happy to 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 x'emedy 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 core 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. Salteb, Esq., Barrister and Solicitor— Inglls’ Buildings, Christchurch. March 20,1884 1 have used your Pulmonic Elixir in my family for some years past, and have found it very efficacious in cheat and throat complaincs.

I shall on all occasions have great pleasure in recommending it to sufferers, as Z con sider it a boon to mankind.



Prom Isaac Allen Esq. , Commission Agent— Hereford street, Christchurch, December 5, 1883. After sercn 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 organa 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, yo highly do we esteem it that we always keep a supply on hand.



From W. B. Scott, 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 are suf fering from such complaints to try it.

The Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited. This is ea peciaUy true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon as it has beat tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in* every way trying to induce suffering invalids • to use their stufi instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of tf. ,B Many others tarted nostrums put up in siiqi lar style to H. 8., with variously devise names in which the word " Hop* or ‘‘Heps’, were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures; no matter what their style or name is, and especially those with the word “ Hop ” or •* Hops ” in »»■»»■ name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Be* ware of them. Touch none of Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the w l 'te label, and Dr Soule’s name blown in th glass. Trust nothing else.
