This preparation is known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to an; thing yet discovered for eradicating tick, scab or Hce on sheep, goats or cattle. It is sufficient to say that One Shilling Packet of the Powder dissolved in tw buckets of water will wash Eighteen Sheep. This admits the most economial, as we! as the simplest plan in the world for the cure and prevention of diseases incident t farm stock By its use the farmer can secure the health of hia stock at the rate of | per head per annum. In al large Sheep Districts in Australia, South America, and Africa, no other pn paration is used. The vermin destroyer is also invaluable for the purf. of th Horticulturist; and it is moat extensively used by the Flower and Kitchen Gardene n Europe, America, and the British possessions in all parts of the Globe. On packet dissolved in two buckets of water will serve for over half an acre of ground an will effectually prevent blight and exclude all other garden pests. As a Vermin Killer it Is an unrivalled specific. Its use will speedily oxterminat all household peats, such as bugs, cockroaches, fleas on animals, moths in furs, »u insects on birds of ail kinds, from the canary to the poultry. For this purpose simpl and plain directions 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 brea and butter, or a piece of meat or cheese is sought after greedily by those vernst/' 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 Co., London the silver medal at the .ntercoionial Exhibition at Melbourne, 1866, beside numerous testimonials from Government officia and all the elite of the medics faculty in Europe. HERMAN BROS. & CO. beg to announce that they have appointee CHARLES NEATE, Chemist ami Druggist, East street, their solo Agent fo Ashburton and vicinity, and from him the preparation can fca obtained in parcels Price—One Shilling; or six packets for Five Shillings.

Dear Friends—We have some hesita tion in addressing you in the manner fal 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 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 Liver Pill, We have the pleasure to state that we ? have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydook’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de maud 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 P globe, and made mankind wiser and bet r 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 j 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 pho 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- tiona are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is invigorated and sustained. ; TRANSLATION. Aykab, Province of Burmah, B. I. Honored and Learned Physician—The unworthy one who dares to address you and coma before you humbly in the dust, bogs 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 petitionei, although he is guoble and unworthy to bo in your high Ipresence, prays that you will graciously permit your Life gr *ns (trills) to come to Aykab. To the learned and wise Physician Haylock (Haydock) of high name. Native to the States of America, united in North America Country. Serviely signing for himself and twenty three others, the Petititioner places his sign, Tnail Fanaibereranciel, Carmi, 111,, April 2, 1884. Dr J. Haydock : Dear Sir—l received your Pills a week ago. I have tried them and must say that 1 never had so much good done by anything as they have me. 1 have suffered lor years with billiousness and have been so sick at times as not to care to live, but your Pills have cured me. One aged man here has taken from ma only two of your Pills, and I wish you could see him. Ho 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 ho laughed and said he was treating his stomach to a new 1 sensation, for it. really was hungry. I ' hand you with this four dollars. Please ' send at once, a below, your Pills ' Mbs Sarah Manners, Carmi, Illinois, U. S. We would gue you if we were 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 c essence of health, and the greatest bless ing that Science has given to the world. g For Nervous Prostration, Weakness, General Lassitude, Want of Appetite and j Sick Headache, Dr Haddock’s New Liver r Pills will be found an Effectual Remedy.

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, bat these will be sufficient to show that your Pul monic Elixir is a remedy of no mean order. From C, P. Salter, Esq., Barrister and Solicitor— Inglla’ Buildings, Christchurch.

From Isaac Allen Esq., Commission Agent — Hereford street, Christchurch, December 5, 1883. After seven years’ experience I have great pleasure in testifying to the efficacy of your “ Lung Preserver,” having proved it in ray 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 moat palatable mixture known for coughs, colds, bronchitis, whooping cough, etc. feo highly do wo 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 yourPulmonic Elixir and Lung Preserver,” for tightness in the chest. 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.

As soon as it has been 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 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 “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 their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Be ware of them. Touch nene of them. Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the wl 'te label, and Dr Soule's name blown in th glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and ch .mists are warned against dealing in im ta ions or counterfeit’’ STEEDMAN’S SOOTHING POWDEFS FOR CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH.
