This preparation is known throughout the civilised world to.be far superior to anything yet discovei ed for eradicating-tick, scib or lie? on sheep, goats or cattle. J It is sufficient lo say that One Shilling Packet of the Powder dissolved in two buckets of water will wash Eighteen Sheep. This admits the most economial as well as the simplest plan in the world for the cure and prevention of diseases incident to farm stock. By its use the f inner can secure the health of his stock at the rate of |d per head per annum. 3 In all largo Sheep Districts iu Austialia, South, America, and Africa no other ore natation is used. The vermin destroyer is also invaluable for the purpose of the Horticulturist; and it is 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, suclvdfts bugs, cockroaches, fleas on animals, moths in furs and insects on birds of ail kinds, fiom the canary to the poultry. For this purpose simple and plain direcTons are given on every packet. The powder can also be used in a dry state for the destruction of rats and mice. A little sprinkled on a slice of bread and butter, or a piece of meat or cheese is sought after greedily by those vermin while the household pets such as cats and dogs will not tourh it in any form and are therefore perfectly safe. ’ The above marvellous discovery has gained for Herman Bros and Co. , London the silver mfedal at the Intercolonial Exhibition at Melbourne, 18C6 besides numerous testimon-’als from Governnient official and all the elite of the medical faculty in Europe.
