WALKRKS BOT FL.Y REMEDIES*. "OTARRANTED TO CORK ANY HORSE AFFECTED WITH BOTS, IF GIVEN » IN TIME, and to Improve the (Condition of the Horse, whether he has Bot«



or not, given in two drenches. LOCAL TES^ Gfray'sroad, Amberley, September 6,1892. Mr Walker. Sir,—Your Bot Fly Remedy reached me in due course. I gave them to one that was very bat 1, 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 asain. 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 mo some, of your Bot FiiT. Preventive for the summer, and oblige, —Yours vety reepecfcfuliy, Edward Watbost. RUHnchy, September! 14,1898. Mr Robert Walker, Christ ohurch, Dear Sir—Yeur Bot Fly Remedies have proved a complete success with my horse. He had been very bad for some tinis ; the coat dry, a tight skin, got very low in condition, and got scarce able to walk. I quite expected he would die, as he had all the 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 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 botn burst ing from the fleets of the Remedy, and coming up through the nostrils by the effects of the'cough. After this ceased, the horse began to mend, and in six days I had him at work again, heartyjand wollj You should make these Remedies public, so that farmers might knew there ia a remedy for this destructive pest. Send me some Preventive for keeping off the fly n summer,- -And oblige, Robert Mclorkaw.



'IHONIALS. i in all stages of transformation, I became | much alarmed about the rest of my stock. I used your Eot 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.j more deaths from the Bnt Fly. Davit* 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 he would have died. He kept losing flesh, got a dry coat, tight skin, careworn expression of the eye, a cough, running al 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 Bend 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. Ura this as you please. H. Lovkx



Greenwood Farm, Southbridge, August 2,1892. Mr Walker, Sir,—l am glad to bear testimony to the wonderful effeots 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 lay 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. Robert Thompson.



Amberley, Jnly 26, 1892. To Mr Robert Walker, Christchurch. Sir,—Having lost three good horses, and on examination found the stomach of two completely eaten through, and trie whole of the stomach thickly covered with bots
