Mr Keeeltine, —Sir, I think it is only right that I sbculel tell you and my neighboring farmers that I am thoroughly satisfied with Walker's Bot Fly Remedies I got from .you. After seeing the state of the stomßoh of my hore that died, I became alarmed about the rest of my stock as they all looked bad, I drenobed eighr, following carefully the direc tions, It oleaned them out thoroughly and in a few days there was % wonderful change for the better I can highly recommend it and would advise farmers to lose no time in dreoohing their stock lest they have their horses dropping dead as I had, I believe it to be the only safe and certain cure for the suffering of horses Jambs Limon Ashburton Forks, March 1, 1894



Mr J Hesehinp. Sir—l tm very glad to tell you that Walker's Bot-fly Remedies I got from you proved quite a success with my dying horse. He was ailing for Eome days, his coat got very dry, the ekin tight, a running at the nose and a very bad cough ; and was scarcely able to walk about; we quite expected he would die. I heard a good d6al about Walker's Bot Fly Remedies, and gave it with the most satisfactory resu'ts, and shortly af'er be g( t the last bottle he began to im prove and by the end of a week was able for work hearty and well I believe it to be a medicine unrqualled, and can recommend it with all confidence to all horse owners, as the best Lorse rem.dy in the market. Edward Corbbtt Greenwood Farm, Southbridge, August 2, 1892



Mr Walker. Sir,—l atn fdad to bear testi mony to the wonderful effects of your Bot Fly-fly Remedies. One of my beet horses be came very bad; the ekin tight, the eye life less and a bad co'or, and got low in condition Anxious 'o finish ploughing a paddock I did not want to lay him up until he became un able to lift his feet or do any more. We had to help him into a stable I gave him your Remedies, and tne treatment you pre. soribed, and in a few days be wat quite better, and new at his work, hearty and well I quite believe, had I not given him your Remedies, he would have died. You can use thie as you please. Robert Thompson Seaside Farm, Wakanui, April 14, 1894



Mr Walker.Dear Sir,—l have great pleasure in informing you that the bot-fly mixture I got from Mr Hetjeltirte, your egent, was a wonderful success. I bad four norgpg seriously ill on December last. After using al the remedies I could think of I was induced to try your mixturp. The result w»8 mar vellous, I strictly followed the directions given and in a week the horses were out of danger and recovering rapidly I drenched two more in February wi h the same result They all put on fla^h rapidly, and are now in prime order P. Stewart MrCro99. Burnham, got the Remedy for a horse suffering last year; on reaching home he was dead. This seaeon tne took bad, aleo showing the symptoms. He gave the Remedy, and the eccocd day after, ibe horse passed bots in hundreds and is doing well.
