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 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 backets of water will wash Eighteen Sheep. This admits the most economist, 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 fd per head per annum. In al largo Sheep Districts in Australia, South America, and Africa, no other pro paration is 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 servo 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, and insects on 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 used in dry state for the destruction of rata 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 verm!/’ while the household pets such as oats and dogs will not touch it In any form, and ai therefore perfectly safe. The above marvellous discovery has gained for Herman Bros, and 00., London, the silver medal at the intercolonial Exhibition at Melbourne, 1868, besides numerous testimonials from Government officia and all the elite of the medical faculty in Europe, HERMAN BROS. & 00. 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 can fca obtained in parcels.

C Consumption, Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Asthma, Whooping Cough, Sore Throat, and all affections of the Chest and Throat, EFFCTUALLY RELIEVED & CURED BAXTER’S * Ijung Preserver. TESTIMONIALS: I From Rev. Charles Penny — 1 Reefton (Late of Christchurch), 1 March 17, 1884. I am happy to say'your Pulmonic Elixir afforded my wife and children almost im- j mediate relief in coughs and colds, and many to whom I have had the pleasure of 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) j 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 bo cited, but these will be sufficient to show that your Pul monic Elixir is a remedy of no mean order. From 0. F. Salteb, Esq. , Barrister and Solicitor— Inglis’ Buildings, Christchurch. March 20,1884.



1 have used yonr Pulmonic Elixir in my Family for some years past, and have Found it very efficacious in chest and throat complaints. From William Reed, Esq., Shipping and Customs Agent— Lyttelton, Nov. 28. 1883. I have used yonr Lung Preserver in my family for the last fourteen years, there fore have the greatest pleasure in bearing testimony to its efficacy in the treatment of coughs, colds, bronchitis, croup whoop ing cough, etc. I have recommended it to my friends, who have also proved it a very palatable and speedy cure for chest and throat-complaints. 1 have uniformly found a single dose of “ Lung Preserver,” check a severe paroxysm of coughing. I shall on all occasions have great pleasure In recommending it to sufferers, as 1 con sider it a boon to mankind. From Isaac Allen Esq., Commission Agent — Hereford street, Christchurch, I December 5, 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, 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. FromW. 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 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.

Dear Friends —We have acme 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 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 Hay dock s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Ha'ydock’a 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 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 dockVNew 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 tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is .invigorated and sustained.

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 way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuft 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 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” or “Hops” in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Be ware of them. Touch none 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 TEEDMAN’S SOOTHING POWDEBS 1 FOR CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH.
