Arhburton Foikp, March 1,1884. Mr J. Heseltinp. Sir—l am very glad le tull you that " Walker'a Bot Fly Remedies " I got fro a you proved quite a success with my dying horse. He was ailiDg for some days, big coat got very dry, the skin tight, a running at the nose and a very bad cough; and was scarcely able to walk about; we quire expected he would dip. I heard a good deal about "Walker's Bet Fly Remedies" and gave it with the most satisfactory results, and shortly after he got the last bottle he began to im< prove and by the end of a week was able for work heaity and well. I believe it to be a medioine unequalled, and can recommed it with all oonfidenoe to all horse owners, as the best horse remedy in the market. Edwabd Oobbixi Brookaide, December 12 1692, Mr Walker.—Sir,—l *ish to add my testimony to the wonderful efleots of your Bot Fly Remedies. I had a valuable horse whiuh got very bad and gradually got wo«e. I quite believe he would have died. He kapt loding flesh, got a dry coat, tight skin, care* worn expression of the eye, a cough, running at the nostrils, and oould scarcely work I got your remedies and gave them as directed, with the most benefloial results; The second day after getting the last drenoh he began to pass bots in handfuls, some of whioh I here with hand you. Immediately after pasting the bots he began to mend, and is new as fat as butter, hearty and well, thanks to Walker's Bot-fly Remedies Any who doubt send them to me, and I will convince them that your remedies are a boon to the oommunit and the suffering horse Every hone shoul have them in the season, as I am confident if used then will be no more deaths from the bot-flj Use this ai you plena. B, Lovm*



R. Meredi'h, M,H,R., says:—l had a tine young draught horee got so low in condition that h» was unfit for work. I got very anxious about him as he showed every sign of dying. I gave him your Bot Fiy Remedy with the very best results. lie is now at his work as hearty aa ever, j can highly recommend it to all horse owners. Seaside Farm, Wakanni, April 14,1894. Mr Walker, Dear Sir,—l have great pleasure in informing you that the bot fly mixture I got from Mr Heseltine, your agent, wbb a wonderful suooess. I had four horses eeriously ill on December last. After ueing all the remedies I oould think of I wbb induoed to try your mixture. The result was mar vellous, if striotly followed the directions given and in a week the horses were out of danger and recovering rapidly. I drenched two more in February with the same result. They all put on flesh rapidly, and are now in prime order. P. Sxbwabx. Mr Gross, Bornham, got the Remedy a horse suffering last year ; on reaohing home he wae dead. This season one took bad, also showing the symptoms. He gave the Remedy and the second day after, the horse passed bots id hundreds and is doing well Greenwood Farm, Southbridge, August 2,1892 Mr Walker. Sir,—l an glad to bear testi mony to the wonderful efleota of your Box Fly Remedies. One of my best horses be» came very bad ; the skin tight, the eye life less and a bad color, and got low in condition. Anxious to finish ploughing a paddock I did not want to lay him np antil he beoame un able to lift his feet, or do any more. We bad to help him into a stable I gave him your Remedies, and the treatment you pre scribed, and in a few days he was quite better, and now at his work, hearty and well, 1 quite believe, had I not given him your Remedies, he would have died. You can use this as you please. BOBIBT THOMPBOR.
