r|) H E W O N D E R‘! O F THE WORLD. I Herman’s WORLD-RENOWNED SHEEP WASH AND CELEBRATED iVERMIN DESTROYER. This preparation is known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to anything yet discovei ed for eradicating tick, sc ib or lice on sheep, goats or cattle. It is sufficient to 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 firmer can secure the health of his stock at the rate of |d per head per annum. In.all large Sheep Districts in Australia, South America, and Africa, no other preparation is used. Jhe 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 peats, such as bugs, cockroaches, fleas on animals, moths in furs, and insects on birds of all kinds, from the canary to the poultry. For this purpose simple tind plain direc’ions are given on every packet. -The powder can also be used in a dry state for the destruction of rata-aud-: iniuo.'**'A Ifitle 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.
