Herman’s WORLD-RENOWNED SHEEP WASH AND CELEBRATED VERMIN DESTROYER. This preparation la known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to any thing yet discovered for eradiotating tick, scab or Hco 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 farmer can secure the health of his stock at the rate of per head per annum. In al large Sheep Districts in Australia, South America, and Africa, no other pro paration ia 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 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 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, »*td insects on birds of all kinds, from the canary to the poultry. For this purpose simpl snd plain directions are given on every packet. The powder can also he 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 la sought after greedily by those verml <• 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 ft>r Herman Bros, and 00., London, the silver medal at the .ntercolonlal Exhibition at Melbourne, 1866, besides namorous testimonials from Government officio and all the elite of the medical faculty in Europe.

Dear Friends—We have ao aio hesita tion in addressing you in the manner fol lowing, but hope that it will not be [ looked 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 foe : many, many years, and have in the long ; course of this lime manufactured certain 1 Medicines that being based on scientific formula and absolute 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 Haydock s New driver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Yials of Dr flaydock’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de -5 mand is because we find in Haydock’s r 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 j Pills used for diseases and claiming much I as to their merit, the remark ible dis covery of Dr Haydock has eclipsed tbein all, and has founded a New Medical Sys tem. The Doctors, whose vatt doses of 1 four or five pills enfeeble the stomach I 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 i dock’s New Liver Pills suffices to place , the stomach in perfect order creates an r appetite, and renders the spirit light and ■ buoyant. If the Liver is affected its func tion! are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is invigoiateu and : sustained. t TRANSLATION. ' Aykab, Province of Hurmah, 8.1.
