CERTIFICATES--Continued.
Messrs. Lord, Croaker & Co., Breakfast Creek, March 7, 1866.
GENTLEMEN, ---In answer to yours of 14th ult., we have to state for your guidance and information as well as in justice to Messrs. Hood and Co., that in the end of 1861 we dipped over 10,000 sheep, all more or less scabby, in their preparation. First dipping was done as the sheep left the shearers; the second, in twenty days after; and the third in ten days after that. We made the wash on the second dipping ten per cent, stronger than recommended; in all other respects we were guided precisely by Messrs. Hood A Co.'s directions. We have only further to state that we have never seen a single case of scab in our flecks since the second dipping, sixteen months ago, and that we consider it has this other important recommendation:--Whereas all other sheep dressings with which we are acquainted, more or less injure and discolour the wool, Messrs. Hood and Co.'s, in our opinion, improves it in colour, texture and weight. J. & A. TAYLOR.
Messrs. Hood & Co. Summerhill, November 4th, 1866.
GENTLEMEN, ---I feel great pleasure in being able to bear testimony to the efficacy of your preparation as a cure for scab. After giving everything else a fair trial, I had recourse to your stuff, and I am happy to say it answered my most sanguine expectation. I can confidently recommend it, as being not only effectual but cheaper than anything I am acquainted with, besides being so easily prepared for use. I unhesitatingly pronounce it what you have named it, a Specific for Scab if properly used,
Truly yours, THOS. WILSON.
The preceding certificate from Dr. Wilson was presented to us after a trial of fully fifteen months; the sheep operated on were Leicester, the most difficult to cure. From these circumstances, and from the doctor's well-established position as a scientific man, we receive this result of his unbiassed judgment as an opinion which should command great weight.
Extract from a letter received from L. Ryan, Esq., Bunyip, Wimmera.
"I dipped some flocks in tobacco and sulphur, and some in your preparation. The only difference observable now is, that the wool of those dipped in yours is clean and fit for market, whereas with those dipped in tobacco it is much stained. The scab was cured in each case, both by the tobacco and by the use of yours. Your preparation is only about one-third the price of tobacco, and much easier of application. I am so much impressed with the value of your composition that I shall in future use it every year, even on clean flocks, to promote the growth of the wool, and to destroy tick, &c."
Messrs. Hood & Co., Melbourne. Morton's Hotel, March 9, 1865.
DEAR SIRS, ---I may inform you that I have used your Sheep-dipping Composition very largely and with the greatest success. My sheep were very badly infected with scab; some of them I dipped but twice, while others needed three dippings to effect a cure; but as I went on the principle of making a. thorough cure, an extra dipping was of no object to me. I am certainly of opinion that your Composition is the most reliable as well as the cheapest remedy for scab, and I can confidently recommend it to the notice of all those whose flocks are troubled with that disease, as a simple, cheap, safe and certain cure, if the directions are followed to the letter. It is not more than one-fourth the cost of tobacco.
I remain, dear sir, faithfully yours,
Lake Meran, Lower Loddon. DONALD CAMERON.
HOOD and CO., Wholesale Druggists and Manufacturing Chemists, 100 Elizabeth, street and 59 Little Bourke-street west, have constantly on hand pure CHEMICALS, Drugs, and Druggists' Sundries, and are prepared to sell as low as any house in the trade.
Agents for the following houses:--Sir James Murray, fluid magnesia; Langton, Scott and Edden, cod liver oil; Swann, Paris; Dr. Churchill's hypophosphites; Freeman's chlorodyne; and a number of other houses. H. and Co. would wish to draw attention to the fact that they exhibited a case of chemicals in the Exhibition held in Dublin, 1865, for which they received a first-class prize medal, being the only one awarded to any British exhibitor; and further, that the jurors expressed their regret that the rules of the exhibition precluded them from giving two medals instead of one, as they considered the Soft Soap entitled them to a medal, independent of the chemicals in the same case.
Hood's Soluble Sheep-Dipping Composition still commands a ready sale. Since January, 1864, over 140 tons have been sold, sufficient to dip more than three million sheep.
