will prove that on coming into conta •! with the water, the 
whole is changed into a milk-white DiD. which is distinctly 
not the case with any other material. Dispenses 
entirely with fires and boilers, which are necessary with To¬ 
bacco and other Dips. The Sheep may be dipped with per¬ 
fect safety in the coldest weather.
