WALKKR'S BOT FJL.Y REMEDIES'. TCTARRANTED TO CURE AW V HORSE AFFECTED WITH BO PS, IF GIVE » IN; TIME, and to Improve the Condition of the Horse, whether he has Bot« or not, given in two drenches. _ T.OfIAL TESTIMONIALS.



Gray's road, Amberley, September 6,1892. Mr Walker. Sir,—Your Bot Fly Remedy reached me in due course. 1 gave them to one that was very bad, and as I had lost a splendid young horse, I got very anxious, as the stomach presented one mass of bots in all stages, with the coating eaten away. I am glad to tell you that the one I drenched according to I your instructions got quite better, and is now at his work Main. I would highly recommend farmers to use the name in time, w I am satisfied that they will save and greatly improve the condition of the horse. Send ma some of your Bot Fly Preventive for the summer, and oblige, —Yours veiy respectfully, Edward Watson. Killinchy, September? 14,1892. Mr Robert Walker, Christehurch, Dear Sir—Your Bot Fly Remedies have proved a complete success with my horse. He had been very bad for some tims ; the coat dry. a tight skin, got very low in Ofndition, and got scarce able to walk. 1 quite expected he would die, as he bad all tbe symptoms of one that my neighbour lost with the bots. I gave your remedies as you directed, with the following re sults :—The horse, after gettilng the late bottle, became very pained, lying^ down rolling and groaning with pain, in tho paddock. He began to cough very hard, each cough bringing away a thick humor* ous matter from the nostrils, the like of which I never saw before coming from a horse. This continued all next day, whiohlam cerain were the bots burst ing from the ffects of the Remedy, and coming up through the nostrils by the effects of the"cough. After this ceased, thefhorse began to mend, and in six dap I had him at work again, heartyjand well. You should make these Remedies public, so that farmers might knew there is a remedy for this destructive pest. Send me som« Prevbntivs for keeping off the fly n summer,- -4nd oblige, Robert Mclobraw. Ambetley, July 26,1892. To Mr Robert Walker, Chrietchurch. Sir, —Having lost three good horses, and on examination found the stomach of two completely eaten through, and the whole of the stomach thickly covered with bots



| in all stages of transformation, I became much alarmed about the rest of my stock. 1 used your Bot Fly Remedies on one that was very bad, and had every symp tom of dying, and in three days she was completely cured, and is doing well. I believe it is the proper thing, and [if given at the proper time we shall have no more deaths from the Bot Fly. David Brown. Brookside, December 12,1892. Mr Walker,— Sir, —1 wish to add my testimony to the wonderful effects of your Bot-fly Remedies. 1 had a valuable horse which got very bad and gradually got worse, I quite believed net wjuld have died. He kept losing fleeh, got a dry coat, tight skin, careworn expression of the eye, a cough, running at the nos trils, and could scarce walk. I got your remedies and gave them as directed, with the most beneficiq],results. The second day after getting the last drench he began to pass bots in handfuls, some of which I herewith hand you. Immediate!^ after passing the bots he began to mend, and is now as fat as butter, hearty and well, thanks to Walker's Bot-fly Remedies. Any who doubt them send them to me, and I will convince them that your reme dies are a boon to the community and the suffering horse. Every horse should have them in the season, as lam confi dent if usedthere will be no more deaths from the bot-fly. JUfe this as you please. H. Lovcll Greenwood Farm, SouthbridgA, August 2, 1892. Mr Walker, Sir,—l »m glad to bear testimony to the wonderful effects of your Bot Fly Remedies. One of my best horses became very bad ; the skin tight, the eye lifeless and a bad colour, and got low in condition. Anxious to finish ploughing a paddock I did nob want to fay him up until he became unable to lift his feet, or do any more. We had to help him into the stable. I gave him your Remedies, and the treatment you prescribed, and in a few days he was quite better, and is now at his work, hearty and well. I quite believe, had I not given him your Remedies, he would have died. You can use this as you please. Robbbt Thompson. i
