OWING to the numerous requests of large ownera these Remedies have been reduced to ?s 6d, and where two Sets or more are taken to 6s 6s per set. No Kennedies ever introduced into this colony have proved so successful in restoring the uffering horse as WALKER'S BOT FLY REMEDIES, Very highly recommended t the Ellesmere Agricultural and Pastoral Asociation Show. Awarded the highest Order of Merit afc ths Northern A. and P. Show ; very highly commended at the Metropolitan Show at Christehurch November 1,1893. R Meredith, M.H.K.,Bayst—l had a fine young draught horse not so low in condition bat he was unfit for work, got very anxious about him as be showed every signs of dying. I gave him your Bot Fly Remedy with the very beat results. He ia now at his work as hearty as ever. can highly recommend 0 nil horse owner?. Oust, November 3,1893. am boroughly satisfied that your Bot Fly Remedies are the right and proper thing lor the suffering horse. I had a young horse that I quite expected would die. Ha got very low in condition, a tight Skin, dry coat, and a very careworn expression of the eye, anc! so lifeless that I had to lay him up. I geve him your Remedy as direct?d, and in a few days he began to mend, and is now so fhsh I can aoaros ru!e him. I can highly recom mend farmers to use it in time, being confident thai it will save ths horse, relieve him of ufferirß and improve is condition.—S, Kinbsboby Mrs Fi'zpatriok. Ba'cairn, had a fine young hack that was quite the taik of the neigh bours for action and go. He got so low tuat she could not put him in the trap. Walker's Bot Fly remedies were administered, and she Bays its worth all it cost to see him gall ;ping through the paddocks with his tail io the air, thsnka to the remedies. Mr Oro3B, Burnham, Rot the Remedy for a horse suffering last year; on reaching home ha was dead. This season one took bad also, showing the pymptoma. He gave the Remedy and the second day after, he passed bots in hundreds and is doing well. Greenwood Fans, Soutbbridge, August 2,1892 Mr Walker, Sir,—l an glad to bear testi mony to *he wonderful efl&ats of your Bos F« Rbuediks. One of my baat horßoe be came very b d ; the skin tight, the eye life less and a bad color, and got low in condition. Anxious to finish ploughing a paddook I did oot want to Jay him np until he became un- Able to lift his feet, or do any more. We had to help him into a stable I give him your Remedies, and, and the traatment you pre scribed, and in a few daya he was quite better, and now at hia work, hearty and well, 1 quite believe, bad I not given him your Remedies, he would b«« a *l«'i Vn" nft" "HR bin as you please.



Killinohy, September 14,1892. Mr Robert Walker, Uhristohurob, Dear Sir—Your Bot Fly Remedies have proved a oomplete success with my horse. He had been very bad for some time ; tbe ooat dry, a tight skin, got very low in condition, And got scarce able walk. I quite expected he would die, a: tie had all the symptoms of one that my neighbor lost with the bois I gave your remedies os you directed, with the, following resul s:—The horse, after getting tbe late bottle, became very pained, lying down rolling and groaning with pain, in the paddock. He began to ocugh very hard, each cough bringing away a thiok humorous matter from the nostrils, the like of what I never saw before coming from a horse. Thie continued all nest clay, which I am certain were tbe bots bursting from the efface of the Kemedy, and coming up through the nostrils by the effeots of tbe oough. After this ceased the horse began to mend, and in six days had him at work again, heartily well You should make these Remedies publio, so that farmers might know there is a remedy for this destructive posts. Send me some Pbkventive for keeping off the fly in Bum mer, —And ob'ige EoBEBT MdoBBAW. Brockside, December 12,1892, Mr Walker, - Sir,—l wish to add my testimony to the wonderful eSects of your Bot Fly Semedias. I bad a valuable horse whi'-'h got very bad and gradually got worse I quite bplieve be would have died. He kapt loding fleeb, got a dry ooat, tight skin, care worn expression of tbe eye, a oough, running at tbe nostrils, and could scarce work 1 got your remedies end g >ye them as directed, with tbe most beneficial results. The second day after getting the last drenah he began to pass bots in handfuls, some of whioh I here with band you. Immediately after passing ifae bots he began 0 meud, and is now as fat as butter, hearty and well, thanks to Walker's Bot-fly Kennedies Any who doubt Band them to me, and I will oonvinos them that your remedies are a boon to tbe oonomunuy and the suffering horßa Every horse should have them in the season, as I am confident if used tbere will be no more deaths from he bot-fly Use this as you please, H.
