It is an excellent : preparation, and is not only well suited for destroying tioks, lice, etci, and for treating ; " Boab," " mange," eto,, but also for destroy- ; ing the spores of the anthrax microbe 'Bacillus anthracis), and preventing the spread of antbrax among flocks of sheep.

The Portable Swing Water Barrow. Prevention is Better Than Cure THE few cases of Typhoid m Ashburton Borough and Suburbs afford no ground for a " sesre," bnt it is only by using reasonable precautions that the dread sconrge can be kept within bounds. In view of the subject being referred to m the public journals, it may be of service to reprint an extract . from an issue of the " Nineteenth Century " of last year, m which special reference is made to Diphtheria, bnt which applies with equal force to Typhoid. The writer remarks, that the latest epidemics m Russia swept away nearly all the children m some villages ; and m Prussia, no less than one-sixth to one-fourth part of all children dying m the age of from one to five jears suc- cumbed to Diphtheria, arid the same proportion prevailed m Western Europe as well. Keen interest is being tsken m the experiments of the French Doctors, Ronx and Terßen ; hut Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by special bacteria, caused by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally, into and upon which dairy and kitchen slops have been thrown. Without an infection by bacteria or the poisons which they secrete, there is no diphtheria. The Portable Wash Barrow is just the one thing indispensable m the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. By its nse, a two-fold benefit is derived. The fever and diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what is otherwise a source of terror becomes an absolute gain, by conveying the wash to pig trough or to tbe garden. The Portable Barrows can be put to various kinds of nse, and they are so admirably con- structed that, with them, a child can do work which otherwise requires the i strength of mature years. The cost is comparatively small. Possession of one becomes an absolute meanß of sweetness, comfort and profit. mmm-m (O) Improved Copper Boilers. 1 have just received direct from the manufscturers a fresh supply of Portable Copper Boilers, with patent smoke, stack joint, and Semi-double sheeted frame — galvanised.
