This preparation is known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to anything yet discovered for eradicating tick, scab 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 economist, 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 irmer 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. 'i be 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 end will effectually prevent blight and exclude all other garden pests. ~ As a Vermin Killer it is an unrivalled specific. Its use will speedily exterixunate all household pests, such as bugs, cockroaches, fleas on animals, moths in fum, and insects on birds of all kinds, from the canary to the poultry. For this purpose simpl; and plain direclions are given on every packet. The powder can also be used in a dry state for the destruction of rata 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 touch it in any form, and ara therefore perfectly safe. The above marvellous discovery has gained^for Herman Bros, and Go., London, the silver medal at the .nteroolonial Exhibition at Melbourne, 1866, besides numerous testimonials from Government official and all the eKfe of the medical faculty in Europe.
