I have had hunhreds under* my treatment, the same which I gave to Mr R Watker, and every horse I treated recovered when taken m time. Walker's Bot-fly Remedies therefore are the only proved guaranteed cure for the bots and shoud be given to every horse at once, whether he shows signs or not Liuriston, AugU3t 18, 1894 Mr Heseltine,~Sir, I think it is only right that I should tell you and my neighboring formers that I am thoroughly satisfied with Walker's Bot Ely Eemediee I got from you. After seeing the state of the stomach of my horce that died, I became alarmed about the rest of my stock as they all looked bad, I drenched eigh% following carefully the direc tions, It cleaned them out thoroughly and m a few days there was a wonderful change for the better I can highly recommend it and would advise farmers to lose no time m drenching their stock lest they have their horses dropping dead as I had, I beli?ve it to be the only safe and certain cure for the suffering of horses James Lemon Aehburton Forkp, March 1, 1894 Mr J Heßeltine.
