This preparation fa known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to any ♦Mng yet discovered for eradicating tick, scab or lice on sheep, goats or cattle. It j 8 sufficient to say that One Shilling Packet of the Powder dissolved in two backets pf water will wash Eighteen Sbeep. This admits the most economist, as well w the simplest plan in the world for the cure and prevention of diseases incident to farm stock. By its nse 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 1s most extensively used by the Flower and Kitchen Gardener In 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, 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 slmpl sod plain directions are*given on every packet. The powder can also he used In a dry state for Hie destruction of rats and mice. A little sprinkled on a shoe of bread |md butter, or a piece of moat or cheese is sought after greedily by those vernal/ 1 while the household pets such as cats and dogs will not touch it in any form, and sl I therefore perfectly safe. , The above marvellous discovery has gained for Herman Bros, and Co., London, | the silver medal at the Juteroolonial Exhibition at Melbourne, 1866, besides noma tons testimonials from Government ofihia and all the elite o f the medical faculty in Europe. it 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 car be obtained in parcels.

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. From C. F.

KEATING, London The Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited. This is eS* pecially true of a family medicine, and ft is positive proof that 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 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 devised names in which the word “ Hop ’ or ‘‘Hops ” 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 none of them. Use • nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the w* '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'’
