N.B.—Ask your Chemist or Storekeeper for It, 4 482 LfTTLE’B SHEEP DI P~ A FTER several years’ trial, this NON-POISONOUS DIPPING FLUID Is now /A universally admitted to be the best ever introduced. Its great superiority over other materials consists In Us cheapness, its undoubted efficacy in destroying all ticks, lice, and every insect that infests the skins of sheep or domestic animals, and in its cleanliness, and absolute harmlessness to those concerned in Its use. Being of an oily character, it is highly beneficial to the growth of the Wpol, which it leaves sof f , clean and bright, without robbing it of the yolk—its natural nourish raent—or leaving it harsh and dy, as is the case when alkaline mixtures, such as lime and sulphur, or arsenical prparations are used. It is entirely without the ruinous effects invariably resulting from the use of such materials. It is not only non-poisonous, but may be used internally for worm in the throat in lambs ; it wll also effectually cure foot-rot, and AS A SPECIFIC FOR SCAB IT HAS NEVER BEEN KNOWN TO FaIL, To those who dip in full fleece, this fluid will be found invaluable, for, being of a warm and protecting chare «.ter, sheep will not catch cold, though dipped in the depth of winter.

Medical. Q N E WORD. Dbae Fbiknds —We have some hesita tion in addressing yon in the manner fol lowing, bnt hope that it will not be looked at in any Invidious light, when we state that it is only onr regard lor 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 onr Haydock s 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 Haydook’ fl 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 who 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 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 Phyalcian—The unworthy one who dares to address yon and come before yon humbly in the dust, begs for hia people (caste) that you would deign to look upon their ignoble miseries and onre 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 lowly and net worthy to be in your high presence prays that you will graciously permit your Life gr- *ns (Pills) to come to Aykab.

TEST ' VIC NE A.LS ; From Rev. Charles Penny— ! Reefton (Late of Christchurch), March 17, 1884. I am happy to say’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 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) the first dose of yonr Elixir proved most effective. In another case (sore throat) a cure was soon brought abont that the patient resolved in the future to .take no thing else. Other oases could be cited, but these will be sufficient to show that your Pul monic Elixir 1s a remedy of no mean order.



From O. F. Salxeb, Esq., Barrister and , Solicitor— Inglls’ Buildings, Christchurch. March 20,1884. 1 have used your Pulmonic Elixir iu my family for come years past, and have found it very efficacious in cheat and throat complaints. From William Eebd, Esq.,’ Shipping and Customs Agent— Lyttelton, Nov. 28. 1883. I have used your 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, eta 1 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.
