WALKER'S BOT FL.Y REMEDIES.



WARRANTED TO CC7RE ANY HORSE AFFECTED WITH BOTS, IF GIVEN IN TIME, and to Improve the Condition of the Horse, whether he has Bots or not, given in two drenches. LOCAL TESTIMONIALS.



Gfray's road, Amberley, September 6,1892. Mr Walker, Sir,—Your Bot Fly Remedy reached me in due course. I 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 your instructions got quite better, and is now at his work again. I would highly recommend farmers to use the same in time, as I am satisfied that they will save and greatly improve the condition of the horse. Send me some of your Bot Fly Preventive for the summer, and oblige, —Tours veiy respecfcfuliy, Edward Watson. Killlnchy, September; 14, 1892. Mr Robert Walker, Christ church, , Dear Sir—Your Bot Fly Remedies have proved a complete success with my horse. He had been very bad for some tim»; the coat dry, a tight skin, got very low in condition, and got scarce able to walk. I aulte expected he would die, as he had all be symptoms of one that my neighbour lost with the bofcs, I gave your remedies as you directed, with the following re salts :—The horse, after gettilng the late bottle, became very pained, lying down rolling and groaning with pain, in the 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, which I am cerain were the bota burst ing from the ffecta of the Remedy, and oomlng up through the nostrils by the effects of the'eough. After this ceased, the'Jiorae began to mend, and in six days I had him at work again, heartyfand well. You should make these Remedies public, so that farmers might know there is a remedy for this destructive pest. Send me some Pbitimtivb for keeping off the fly n summer, —And oblige, ROBXRT McIORRAW,



in all stages of transformation, I became much alarmed about the rest of my stock. I 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,—l wish to add my testimony to the wonderful effects of your Bot-fly Remedies. I had a valuable horse which got very bad and gradually got worse, I quite believed he would have died. He kept losing flesh, got a dry coat, tight skin, careworn expression of the eye, a cough, running a ' the nos trils, and could scarce walk, I got your remedies and gave them as directed, with the most beneficial results. The second day after getting the last drench he began to pass bots in handfuls, some of which I herewith hand you. Immediately 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 tome, 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. Cfre this as yon please. H. Lovbu.



Greenwood Farm, Southbridge, August 2, 1892. Mr Walker, Sir,—l am glad to bear testimony to the wonderful effects of your Bot Fit Remedies. One of my best horses became very badj the skin tight, the eye lifeless and a bad colour, and got low in condition. Anxious to finish ploughing a paddock I did not want to lay him up until he became unable to lift his feei, 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 1 not given him your Remedies, he would have died. You can use this as you please. Robert Thompson.



Amberley, July 26,1892. To Mr Robert Walker, Ohristchurch. 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
