A correspondent asks how to treat sheep poisoned by phosphorus from pollard baits used to exterminate rabbits. The report notes mortality in livestock, outlines dosage for horses and cattle, symptoms, and antidotes including stomach emptying and turpentine with copper sulfate, plus later feeding and careful bait search before restocking docks.
A paragraph notes reports of gold in sheep teeth. Prof Liversidge showed specimens at a Society of Chemical Industry gathering in Dubbo that bore a yellow luster but tests proved no gold, just tartar-like deposits and reflective film layers. The professor invites further specimens from correspondents.
A Newcastle football player recommends Zam-Buk for bruises, stiffness, and cramp after games. The advertisement cites its use as an embrocation and household balm for cuts, burns, rashes, and insect bites with pricing at 1/6 and a request for a free sample pot.
