For all the purposes intended, these have 
double the cleansing powers of ordinary soaps. 
ISO. 1 Soap. — In bars. For ail common 
uses in the house and laundry, for floors, closets, 
clothing', linens, -woolens, bedding, etc., which 
it thoroughly disinfects and renders obnoxious 
to all insects.

In 60 lb. boxes, 14 cents per lb.; in 241b. 
boxes, and in 10 paper boxes, containing 6 lbs. 
each, packed in a case, 15 cents per lb. 
Laundry -women should not object to the pe- 
culiar and not unpleasant smell of the soap. 
This very odor protects them from any possi- 
bility of catching disease from foul or infected 
clothing; and disappears -when the clothes are 
dried. 
These soaps possess a Bleaching- quality 
which none others do; and without the slightest 
damage to the fibre of the cloth. 
The Black Bar-soap, for destroying 
vermin on horses, cows, pigs, dogs, etc., and to 
protect them from flies, in neat cakes enveloped 
in tiu foil, in a cheap and convenient form, in 
boxes containing 20 cakes, §2. 
The Death to Screw-worm. — A soft 
and very effective ointment, or may be used as 
a soap; will destroy all insect life or render the 
locality most obnoxious to them, and forms the 
best of all -washes and ointments for foul and pu- 
trid Or other sores. The altering and marking 
of young stock may be done with safety even in 
the extreme south, at any season of the year, by 
immediately anointing with this preparation. 
To that pest of the Southern Slock-breeder, 
the Screic-worm, it is certain death, and i-; llie 
cheapest and safest remedy ever applied. It 
not only destroys the -worm, but cleanses and 
quickly heals up the offensive sores made by 
them. In ordinary cases, a piece of the oint- 
ment, as large as the first joint of the finder, 
pushed into the wound, will effect an immediate 
cure. But, in serious cases, best to inject a so- 
lution two or three times, and then insert the 
ointment. It is rare that a second application 
will ever have to be made. Sheep, which rarely 
recover the attack of the worm under the ordi- 
nary treatment of Calomel, various Liniments, 
etc., are quickly cured by this application. 
Sold in canisters containing one pound, at 50 
cents, or three pounds, at §1. 
The Sheep Dip is sold in canisters of 5 
pounds, at $1.25; 10 pounds, at $3.25; 50 pound ' 
kegs, at $10; and in barrels, containing 200 
pounds, at §35. 
The proportions for dipping large and 
heavily-fleeced sheep, are one pound of (lie com- j 
position, to five gallons of water for five sheep. 
"\y*hen a number exceeding fifty are dipped, the 
bath must be replenished after 25 sheep are 
dipped, with five pounds of the composition dis- 
solved in one gallon of boiling water, added to 
24 gallons of water. But for the average of 
sheep in the United States, and especially if re- 
cently shorn, it will be found that this quantity, 
in these proportions, will suffice for nearly, if 
not quite, double the number. The liquid is 
placed in au oblong vessel, of sufficient size to 
immerse two sheep at a time conveniently. The 
animals are carefully dipped, so that every part 
is immersed, protecting only the ears, nose and 
mouth from contact with the liquid. Each sheep 
should remain a full minute in the bath, and 
then stand on the drainer, or sloping platform 
alongside the bath-tub, until all the liquid that 
will, has drained off. Do not turn out during 
a rain, immediately after dipping. The hands 
and arms may be freely put in the bath, as it 
will injure neither skin nor clothes. But, if the 
sun is shining brightly, it is best to protect the 
arms by a loose sleeve or other wrapping; 
otherwise some smarting may be felt. If the 
smarting is severe, the bath had best be some- 
what diluted with water; and especially for 
weakly sheep or lambs. Wheu Scab is actually 
present, a little of the pure Dip, or better still, 
of the Death to Screic-ivorm should be rubbed 
on the spots or diseased parts. If first rubbed 
not too harshly, with a corn-cob, so much the 
better. There is no danger of reinfection, even 
in pastures or lots known to be infected .-with 
the scab insect. If the lots, pastures, &c, are 
limited in extent, and badly infested with the 
Scab-insects, wash over with the Dip, the stems 
of trees, posts, &c, against which the sheep 
have been in the habit of rubbing themselves; 
as the insects will live there for a long time, 
ready to attack again these sheep not thorough- 
ly protected by dipping. 
A profitable business could be done by 
PROFESSIONAL DIPPERS, 
charging so much per head, and who could do 
the work more thoroughly, and at a less actual 
cost than could be done by tbose less practised. 
Missis. Buchan & Co. will lie glad to treat 
with parties who desire to engage in the busi- 
ness. 
Foot-rot Ointment thoroughly cures 
and prevents the return of this dangerous dis- 
ease. Let the animals to be treated, stand for 
five minutes or so, in the ordinary solution of 
sheep-dip ; which will soften and cleanse the 
hoofs. Pare and cut away all of the diseased 
portion ; but expose no more fresh surface tiian 
can be avoided. Anoint well with the oint- 
ment, and especially every diseased part, rub- 
bing a little into tlie liair as high as tin- i 
Keep the animals in a dry, clean pasture or lot 
for a few days, and a cute will not only be af- 
fected, but the animal guarded from reinfection 
for a considerable period. 
Sold in canisters of 3 pounds, at §1. 
The PlasU-lProtector is sold in lb. 
canisters at 50 els. ; 3 lb. do., §1.00 ; 5 lb. do. 
§1.25; 10 lb. do., §2.25; 50 lb. kegs, §10.00, 
and in barrels, containing 200 lbs., at §35. 
The strength of the solution must be deter- 
mined by the age and condition of the trees and 
plants to which it is to be applied. For strong 
growing plants and trees, out of doors, 5 pounds 
to 50, or even 100 gallons of water -will suffice. 
To sprinkle over a crop of wheat, or to be 
forced in a spray, over and through the growing 
cotton plants, a still weaker solution would 
probably have the desired effect of driving off 
the parent insects. 
T3iC 53ide Preserver. — This article, dis- 
solved in sufficient boiling water, adding cold 
water until about the consistency of rich milk, 
or say five pounds to 30 gallons of water, will, 
if green or dried hides are coated on both sides 
with it, completely prevent the attacks of insects. 
And will cure green hides more thoroughly and 
in less time than by salt or any other antiseptic. 
Sold in canisters of 5 pounds, at §1.25 ; 10 
pounds, at §2.25 ; 50-pound kegs, at §10 ; and 
in barrels containing 200 pounds, at §35.

Surgical Tses, are in course of manu- 
facture, and will soon be offered.
