THE RENOWNED SHEEP MEDICINE! •RICE, 17a PER GALLON, IN TWO GALLON TINS, WILL DRENCH 320 SHEEP* 'he following are a few of the Testimonials received this Season from the extreme North, testifying to the efficacy of Ford's Scour and Lung-Worm Mixture r - l Buckland & Sons, Auckland. Waipipi, May 17, 1893. Gentlemen,—ln answer to your enquiry re the efficacy of Ford's Scour and Lung-Worm lixture, I may say that I drenched my lambs with it on the 31st March. Some of them Tere looking bad, and I expected some deaths, but so far none have died. I have no oubfc that the mixture is good for internal parasites.—l remain, yonrs, etc.,. ROBERT CRAIG. <fr Joseph Ford. Hoteo North, May 18, 1893. Dear Sir,—We, the undersigned, have very great pleasure in testifying to the efficiency f your Patent Scour and Lung-Worm Mixture. We purchased two 2-gallon tins from our Auckland agents, Messrs A. Buckland and Sons, and have used a portion of it for renching our flock of about 400 lambs with the very best results. About three months efore we dosed them, they were scouring very bad and a great many had lung-worm, Dme having already died ; but, thinks to your Mixture, we have scarcely lost any since iving it to them, although we consider that this continued wet season has been greatly gainst lambs doing well. Yet, we can confidently say that our lambs began to improve mmediately after the use of your Lung-worm Mixture, which has no doubt been the alvation of a great number of them, as they were in a bid state before being dosed.—We re, dear sir, yours faithfully, J. and R. GRANT. iessrs A. Buckland & Amis, Auckbnd. Wairoa S., Miy 10, 1893. Dear Sirs,—l used some of Ford's Lung-Worm Mixture and am well pleased with the esults. I think it will pay me well to use it in the future. My sheep have always been cry bealthy, and this is the first season I have done anything to them in the way of renching. We picked out the worst of the lambs and drenched them once. Afterwards, nly two of them died, and the others seemed to thrive and do well.—Yours truly, JOHN DOWi lessrs Buckland and Sons, Auckland. Auckland, August 15, 1893. Gentlemen, —We have much pleasure in advising you that we have used six tins of lord's Lung-Worm and Scour Mixture on both calves and sheep, and that it has given us very satisfaction, we consider it the best and most economical mixture that we have ried.-Yours truly, REID BROS., Motu Tapu. IT IS ALWAYS ADVISABLE TO DRENCH LAMBS AFTER WEANING, although 10 signs of Scour are apparent. It will always pay to Drench with FORD'S—He is well >aid who is well satisfied. CAUTION TO BUYERS-Don't purchase imitations ; see that you get FORD'S Mix ure Acts promptly : sure cure. Once used always used. FORD'S Mixture is also a iret-clasa cure for Scour in Calveß, It will also improve the condition iv unthrifty halves. F. FERRIMAN, ASHBURTON, PATENTEE & PROPRIETOR.
