It is Non-Poiaonons, ezoept to insect life ; cafe and easy to use ; cleanses the wool, and promotes its growth by eupplying the fleece with a nourishing, oil or fatty food ; only requires cold water to mix, m whioh it is immediately soluble ; this is an immense advantage whera the dipping is done npon the farm or sheep ran, where hot water fa not easily proonraUe.

It is an alkaline prepara- tion of tar, oils, and aaids, and contains SS per cent of tar aoide. It is an excellent preparation, and is not only well suited for destroying ticks, lioe, eto., and for treating « eoab," •• mange," eto,, but also for destroy- ing the epores of the anthrax microbe % Baeillm anfhtacis), and preventing the epread of anthrax among flooks of sheep. This fluid is a most suitable preparation for the purposes to whioh it is applied, and may be reoommended as a safe remedy for the various parasitic and infectious diseases whioh attack sheep and other farm animals.
