This preparation Is known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to any thing yet discovered for eradictating 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 farmer can secure the health of his stock at the rate of |J per head per annum. In al large Sheep Districts In Australia, South America, and Africa, no other pro paration is used. The vermin destroyer is also invaluable for the purjii 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, snch as bags, cockroaches, fleas on animals, moths in furs, and insects on birds of all kinds, from the canary to the poultry. For this purpose simpl »nd 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 Is sought after greedily by those venal/* while the household pets such as cats and dogs will not touch it in any form, and ai therefore perfectly safe. The above marvellous discovery has gained for Herman Bros, and Co., London, the silver medal at the .ntercolonial Exhibition at Melbourne, 1866, besides numerous testimonials from Government officla 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 can be obtained in paroels.

TESTIMONIALS: Prom Rev. Charles Penny— Reef ton (Late of Christchurch), March 17, 1884. 1 am happy to eay'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 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 monio Elixir is a remedy of no mean order. Prom C. P. Salter, Esq., Barrister and Solicitor— Inglis’ 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 chest and throat complaints. Prom William Reed, Esq., Shipping and Customs Agent— Lyttelton, Nov. 28. 1883. I have used your Lung Preserver in my family for the last fourteen years, there fora have the greatest pleasure in bearing testimony to its efficacy in the treatment of coughs, colds, bronchitis, croup whoop' ing cough, etc. 1 have recommended it to my friends, who have also proved it very palatable and speedy cure for chest and throat complaints. I have uniformly found a single dose of “ Lung Preserver, check a severe paroxysm of coughing, shall on all occasions have great pleasure in recommending it to sufferers, as I con aider it a boon to mankind. Prom Isaao 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, eta, 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. 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.

GUARDIAN. Medical. Q N E WORD. Deab Friends —We 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 manufactured certain Medicines that being based on scientific formula and absolnte 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 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 Hayddck’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 four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give way to the man vho restores health and appetite with one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay dock's New Liver Fills suffices to place the stomach in perfect order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its fnnc-1 tions are restored, and if the Nervous \ System is enfeebled, it is invigorated and sustained, TRANSLATION. Aykab, Province of Burmab, 8.1. Honored and Learned Physician—The unworthy one who dares to address you and come before you humbly in the dust, I begs for his people (caste) that you would deign to look upon their ignoble miseries and cure them with your Life-giving grains (Pills). Illustrious one your most potent medicine is life to them and their children, and all the Drug Bazaars are empty and your Soul is not in them. This humble petitioner, although he is gnoble and unworthy to be in your high ipresence, prays that you will graciously permit your Life gr : ns (Pills) to come to Aykab.

Db J. Haydock : Dear Sir—l received your Pills a week ago. 1 have tried them and must say that 1 nerer had so much good done by anything as they hare me. I have suffered for years with billiousness and have been so sick at times as not to care *o live, but your Pills have cured me. One aged man here has taken from me only two of your Pills, and I wish you could see him. He has had no appetite for five months, and to-day he ate a dinner such as api ughman eats. 1 had to check him, but he laughed and said he was treating his stomach to a new sensation, for it really was hungry. I hand you with this four dollars. Please send at once, a below, your Pills Bias Sabah Manners, Oarmi, Illinois, U. S. We would gue you if wo wore to go on with them as we very well could do, but the above must suffice, Haydock’s New Liver Pills are the true grains and essence of health, and the greatest bless ing that Science has given to the world.

As soon as it has been i 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 stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B Many others started nostrums put up in simi lar style to H. 8., with variously devise names in which the word “ Hop ’ or *‘Hcps ’* were used iu 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 " qr ‘‘Hops ’’ in Iftcir name or in any way connected with them 0 r their name, are imitations or counterfeits.
