HERMAN'S WORLD-RENOWNED 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 ice 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 mthe 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 f 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 j 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. Ita us c will speedily exterminate all household pests, such as bugs, cockroaches, fleas on animals, moths in furs, hnd insects on birds of all kind ■, 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 a ! nd all the elite of the medical faculty in Kurope. HERMAN BROS. & CO. beg to announce that they have appointed as their sole agent for Wanganui, Messrs A. M. LOASBtf & CO., and from them the preparation can be obtained in parcels. Price ONE SHILLING ; or six packets for FIVE SHILLINGS. Liberal reduction' allowed to the trade. MANUFACTORY :BEAUMONT SQUARE MILE END ROAD, LONDON. DRUMMOND'S SEED CL ANING MACHINE.
