This preparation Is known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to any thing yet discovered for eradiotating 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 Hie 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 |d ■ per head per annum. In al large Sheep Districts in Australia, South America, and Africa, no other pre paration is used. The vermin destroyer is also invaluable for the purpi of the Horticulturist; and it is most extensively used by the Flower and Kitchen Gardener In Europe, America, and the British possessions in all parts of the Globe. One packet mssblved 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 Yemun Killer it is an unrivalled specific. Its use will speedily exterminate all household pests, such as bags, cockroaches, fleas on animals, moths in furs, and insects ori birds of all kinds, from the canary to the poultry. For this purpose simpl and plain directions are given on every packet. The powder can also be need in a state for the destruction of rata and mice. A little sprinkled on a slice of bread and blitter, of’ a piece of meat or cheese is sought after greedily by those vermi/> while the honirehold pets such as cats and dogs will not touoh it in any form, and si; therefore perfectly safe. The above marvellous discovery has gained for Herman Bros, and Co., London, the aHver medal at the mteroolonial Exhibition at Melbonrne, 1866, besides numerous testimonials from Government officia and all the elite of the medical lacnity in Bnrbpe. HERMAN BROS. & 00. beg to announce that they have appointed CHARLES NBATE, Chemist and Druggist, East street, their solo Agent for Ashburton and vicinity, and from him the preparation cat be obtained in paroels.

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 f cessful we have been in this, is only to j note the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Haydock s New Liver Pill. > We have the pleasure to state that we e have sold 28,C89 Vials of Dr Haydock’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de r mand is because we find in Baydock’s . New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra r 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 3 Pills used for diseases and claiming much 3 as to their merit, the remark <ble dis e covery of Dr Haydock has eclipsed them s all, and has founded a New Medical Sys , tern. The Doctors, whose vast doses of s four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give way to 5 the man who restores health and appetite with one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay t dock’s New Liver Pills suffices to place , the stomach in perfect order creates an 5 appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its func i lions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is invigorated and : sustained. TRANSLATION, t Aykab, Provluoa of Burmah, 8.1.

Dear Sir, —Seeing that you are in Auckland, I write to say that nearly five years ago I sent to Liverpool for one of your English Silver Levers as advertised for £3 15s. I duly re ceived the watch, and my son (William Thor burn) has carried it every day since then at. his work, riding, etc., and it has never cost him one penny for repairs. The watch is a splendid timekeeper, and would cost in Auckland at least ten guineas. My son could have sold the watch a score of times, for double the price that it cost him, but would not part with it on any account, I may also say that I know several here who have sent for your watches, and they have given the greatast satisfaction. You are at perfect liberty to publish this f you wish, as I am well known here. —I remain, yours truly, WM. Lang Thorburn, Engineer, Tararu Thames.” |

KEATING, Lond( The Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited. This is es pecially true of a family medicine, and itlis positive proofthat the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon as it has been tested and proved by the whole .world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most toluablq 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 devised names in which the word "*llop ’ 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.
