Herman’s WORLD-RENOWNED SHEEP WASH AND OELEB RATED VERMIN DESTROYER. . This preparation is known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to any thing yet discovered 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 economlal, as well the simplest plan in the world for the cure and prevention of diseases incident to ►arm stock By its use the farmer can secure the health of his stock at the rate of %o per head per annum. In al large Sheep Districts In Australia, South America, and Africa, no other prt, paration is used. The vermin destroyer is also invaluable for the purp of the Horticulturist; and it is moot extensively used by the Flower and Kitchen Gardener n Europe, America, and the British possessions in all parts of the Globe. One racket dissolved in two backets of water will serve for over half an acre of ground and ✓ill effectually prevent blight and exclude all other gardeuapests. As a Vermin Killer it is an unrivalled specific. Its use will speedily exterminate all household posts, such as bugs, cockroaches, fleas on animal., moths in furs, and 'nsectson birds of all kinds, from the canarv to the poultry. For this purpose simp! md plain direct ions are given on every packet. The powder can also be used In dry state for the destruction of rats and mice A little sprinkled on a shoe of bread and bntter, or a piece of meat or cheese Is sought after greedily by those verm* • while the household pets snob as cats and dogs will not touch it in any form, and ». therefore perfectly safe. The above marvellous discovery has gained for Herman Bros, and Co., London, the silver medal at the .nteroolonial Exhibition at Mel non me, 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 cat be obtained In parcels.

Deak Friends —Wo have some 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 for many, many years, and have in the long course of this time idannfactured certain 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 oar Haydock a New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydock's New Liver Pills. The reason of this de mand is because we find in Haydock’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 Haydock has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of fonr 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 buoymt. If the Liver is affected itsfuno ti< nfl are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is invigorated and sustained.

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.' Prom 0, P.

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. So highly do we esteem it that we always keep a supply on hand.
