Makes the skin perfectly clean and healthy. Has not yet been known to injure in any way the general health of the sheep. Does not darken the wool, as all the preparations do. which contain mo:e or less Carbolic Acid-, and wrongly called “ non-poisonous,’ as no Dip can be actually prepared that, i too strong a solution, would not injure the ock, It- will compare in cheapness other Dips offered to : llockowners. with all In packages of 5 gallon casks.
