Public Notices. THE WONDER OF THE WORLD. HERMAN’S WO&LD-REN OWNED SHEEP WASH AND CELEBRATED VERMIN DESTROYER. 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 economical as well as the simplest plan in the world for the cure and prevention of diseases incident to farm stock. By its use the farmer 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. 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-aore 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 xterminate all household pests, such as bugs, cockroaches, fleas on animals, moths in fnrs, and insects on birds of all kinds, from the canary to the poultry. For this purpose simple and plain directions 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 oats and dogs, will not touch it in any form, and are therefore perfectly safe. The above marvellous discovery has gained for Herman Bros, and Co., London, the silver medal at the Intercolonial Exhibition, Melbourne, 1866, besides numerous testimonials from Government officials and all the elite of the medical faculty in Europe, HERMAN BROS. & CO., beg to announce that they have appointed as sole agent for South Canterbury W. GUNN, Chemist, Timaru,and from him the preparation can be obtained in parcels. Price ONE SHILLING; or six packets for FIVE SHILLINGS. Liberal reduction allowed to the Trade. Manufactoey—Beaumont Squabe, Mile End Road, London. SHEEP- WASHING JACKSON’S SHBBPLIFT, Protected by Royal Letters Patent, is a most useful and simple contrivance for lifting sheep from the hot soak instead of their being dragged up an incline ; it can be fitted to almost any wash. The following statements have been kindly giving for pnlication : I have used one of Jackson’s Patent Lifts at my wash with great advantage, as it saves labour, prevents injury to the sheep economises soap, and helps to insure more perfect washing, WILLIAM LEWIS. Stoneleigh, near Skipton. I have seen Jackson’s Patent Sheep Lift it work, and I consider it a valuable invention ; the sheep are got under the jets while the wool is hot; the washing is greatly facilited; the sheep are saved from injury by rough usage, and the colour and condition of the wool is improved.
