Its great superiority over other materials consists in its 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 hsrmlessness to thoro concerned in Its use. Being of an oily character, it is highly beneficial to the gr vth of the Wool, which it leaves aoP, clean and bright, without robbing it of the —its natural nourish ment —or leaving it harsh and dy, as is the case when alkaline mixtures, such as lime and sulphur, or arsenical prparations are used. It s entirely without the ruinous effects invariably resulting from the use of such materials. It is not only non-poisouous, but may be used internally for worm in t! 'broat in lambs ;it wll also effectually cure foot-rot, and AS A SPECIFIC FOB ' ■' \B IT HAS NEVER BEEN KNOWN TO FaIL. To those who dip in full fl ce, this fluid will bo 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. Dba& Frisnds— We have some hesita tion in addressing yon in the manner fol lowing, bat 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 Fills. The reason of this de. mand is because we find in Haydook’ a 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 ail, and has founded a New Medical Sys tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyse 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 1s invigorated and sustained.
