Mr. C. W. Langstone.

Mr. C. W. Langston©, M.R.C.V.S., has lately come to the front as an expert in the treatment of Lung Worm and other internal diseases of sheep and neat cattle. For the last eighteen years it has beon occupied in investigating the ravages of parasites in sheep and neat cattle, and has arrived at the conelusion that in only one way can the pests be overcome, and that is by treatment through the blood—more especially for the Lung Worms (Slrovgylm Filaria and Stronyylus Qoitt PuU monaUs). Langstone’s vermifuge—so favorably known—is now the sole property of Mr. Mason, chemist, Mastorton, who purchased the right from the inventor. Continuing his investigations, however, Mr. Langstone improved upon tho remedy, and lately placed upon tho raarkot another invention, to which he ha a given the name of Parasitoscklo, of which J. E. Langstone holds tho sole right of manufacture. As a fortifyor of the blood and a destroyer of tho germs of Lung Worm and other troubles in sheep, &c., Mr. Langstone has offered to the farmers of New Zealand his Parasitoscide, which, by its surprising results, is exciting universal notice. Special attention to tho action of the foregoing medicines induced Mr. Langstone to use liis powers of invention towards forming a solid of the matter hitherto administered to stock by drenching process; and it must be gratifying indeed to sheepowners to know that these effor ts have been crowned with success. Mr. Langstone's Medicated Sheep Lick to-day holds an unrivalled position in its particular line. It is put up in shallow boxes, and is so coloured and scented as to attract tho animals for which it is intended. Dr. Skey, the Government Analyst, has reported favourably upon tho Lick, which has already been patented throughout the Colonies. Mr. Langstone is about to issue a valuable work upon “ The Diseases of Sheep,” and his wide experience is sufficient to prove ibat the matter contained therein will be of deep interest to farmers and others. The book will contain twenty-six pages of illustrations, descriptive of various worms in all their stages of development as they exist in sheep and lambs. The book is at present in the hands of the printers (Messrs. McKee and Gamble, }Jew Zealand Press Agency, Wellington). ’/ , r '
