This preparation is known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to any* thing yet discovered for eradlctating tick, scab or lice on sheep, 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 economlal, ah well as the simplest plan in the world for the cure and prevention of diseases incident to farm stock. By its use thefsrmer can secure the health of his stock at the rateof |d per head per annum. In al large Sheep Districts in Australia, South America, and Africa, no other pre paration la used. The vermin destroyer is also Invaluable for the purpi of the Horticulturist; and it Is most extensively used by the Flower and Oarrinnn]. n 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 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, cockroaches, fleas on animals, moths in fnrs, 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 be used in dry state for the destruction of rata and mice. A little sprinkled on a slice of bread and batter, 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 touch it In any form, and KB) therefore, perfectly safe. The above marvellous discovery has gained for Herman Bros, and 00., London, the silver medal at the mtercolonial 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 Ashbnrton and vicinity, and from him the preparation car be obtained In parcels. p r i ce —One Shilling; or six packets for Five Shillings.
