I gava him your Bot Fly Remedy with the very best results. lie is now at his work as hearty kb ever. can highly recommend 0 all horee ownere. CtH, November 8,1898 am thoroughly satisfied that your Bot Ply R medics sre the right and proper thing (or the suffering bow. I hud a young horse that I quite expected would die. He got very low in condition, a tight skin, dry coat, and a fairy oareworn expression 0! tbe eye, and so lit eleis that I had to lay bitn up. 1 g°.ve him your Remedy as directed, and in a few days he began to mend, and is now so fhsh I can Boaroo rale him. lam highly reoom* mead farmers to use it In time, being confident that it will save the horse, relieve him of ufferiog and improve is condition.—S. KINOBBUEY Mrs Fitzpatriok, Baloairn, had a fine young hack that was quite the talk of the neigh boars for action and go. He got so low that she could not put him in the trap. Walker's Bot Fly remedies ware administered, end she gays Its worth all it cost to flee him galloping through the paddocks with his tail in the air, thsnks to the remedies. Mr Gross, Burnham, got the Remedy for a horse suffering last year; on reaching home he was dead. This season one took bad also, showing the symptoms. He gave the Remedy Bad tbe second day after, he passed bots in hundreds and is doing well. Greenwood Farm, Southbridge, August 2,1393 Mr Walker, Sir,—l an glad to bear testi mony to the wonderful effects of your Bcf pLf Remedies, One of my best horses be oame very bid j the akin tight, the eye life less and a bad color, and got low in condition. Anxious to finish ploughing a paddook 1 did Dot want to lay him up until he became un able to lift his feet, or do any mora. We had to help him into a stable I gave him your Remedies, and, 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 you* Remedies, he would have died. You can use bis as you please. Robert Thompson.



Killinohy, September 14,1892. Mr Bobert Walkpr, Ohristohuroh, Dear, Sir—Your Bot Fly Remedies have proved a oomptete success with my horse. He bad been very bad for some time; the ooat dry, a tight skio, got very low in condition, and got scarce able walk. I qui'e expected he would die, a. ne bed all the symptoms of ona that my neighbor lost with the boB I gave your remedies aa you directed, with the following resuls:—The horse, after getting the late bottle, became vory pained, lying down rolling and groaning with pain, in the 1 padooek. Ha begsn to congh very hard, each | oough bringing away a thick humorous matter from the nostrils, the like of what I never saw before coming from a horse. This 1 continued all next day, which I am certain were the bots bursting from the effects of the Kemedy, and coming ap through the nostnlß by the eSeots of the cough. After this ceased the horse began to mend, and iv sis days had him at work again, heartily well You Bhonid make these Remedies public, so that farmers might know there is a remedy for this destructive pasts. Send me some Pbkysntxyk for keeping off the fly in sum mer,—And oblige ROBKBT MdOBBAW. Brookuide, December 12,1892, Mr Walker,-Sir,—l wish to add my testimony to the wonderful effects of your BotFly Semedies. I had a valuable horse which got very bad and gradually got worse I quite believe ha would have died. He kept losing flesh, got a dry ooat, tight skin, care worn expression of the eye, a oough, running at the nostrils, and could scarce work _ I got your remedies and gave them aa directed, with the most beneficial results; The second day after getting the last drenoh he began to pass bots in handlala, some of whioh 1 here with hand you. Immediately after passing the botß he began Jo meud, and is now as fat as butter, hearty and well, thanks to Walker's Bot-fly Remedies Any who doubt send them to me, and I will oonvinoe them that your remedies are a boon to the community and the suffering horse Every horse should have them In the season, as I am confident if used there will be no more deaths from he bot-fly Use thia &« you please.
