Cherteey, January 15, 1895 To Mr Heseltine. Agent for Walker's Botfly Remedies, Ashburton Sib,—l consider it my duty to add my testimony to the marvellous effects of the remedies I got from you on my horse. He got so bad that I had to lay him up. No matter what I gave bim he kept losing condition and became so weak that he oould Boarcely stand. I oarefuly followed the direc tions on tho bottles and shortly afier gett ing the last bottle he passed bots, and at once began to mend, and in a few days was fit for bis work, lam confident only for the remedy he would have died. I can highly recommend it, believirjg it has no equal.— William Stringfellow. Launston, August 18, 1894 Mr Heseltine,—Sir, I think it is only right that I should tell y.u and my neighboring farmers that I am thoroughly satisfied wiih Walker's Bot Fly Remedies I got from you. After seeing the state cf tha stomach of my horse that died, 1 became alarmed about the rest of my stock as they all looked bad, I drenohed eight, following carefully the direc tions, It cleaned them out thoroughly and in a few days there was % wonderful change for tbe better I mo highly recommend it and would advise farmers to lose no time in drenching their _ ook lest they have tbeir horses dropping dead as I had, I believe it to be the only safe and obtain cure for the suffering oi horses Tames Lemon Ashburton Forks, March 1, 1891 Mr J Hes ltinr-. Sir—l sm very glad to tell you that Walker's Bot-fly Remedies I got from you proved quite a success wiih my dying horse. He was aiing for som-! daya, his ooat got vary dry, the skin tight, a running at the nose and a very bad cough ; and w»s scarcely able to walk about; we quite expooted he would die. I heard a good deal about Walker's Bot Fly Remedies, and gave it with the most satisfactory resu'ts, and shortly after be g(t the last bottle ho began to im prove and by the end of a week was able for work hearty and well I believe it to be a medioine unequalled, and can recommend it with all confidence to all horse owners, as the best horse remedy in the market. Edwakd Corbett Greenwood Farm, Southbridge, August % 1892 Mr Walker, Sir,—l am glad to bear testi mony to the wonderful effeots of your Bot Fly-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 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. scribed, and in a few daya be waa quits better, and now at hia work, hea.ty and well I quite believe, had I not given him your Remedies, he would have died. You oan use this as you please. Robert Thompson Seaside Farm, Wakanui, April 14, 1894 Mr Walker.Dear Sir,—l have great pleasure in informing you thafc the bot-fly mixture I got from Mr Heseltine, your agent, was a wonderful success. I had four horses seriously ill on December last. After using all the remedies I could think of I was induced to try your mixture. The result was 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 wish the same result They all put on flesh rapidly, and are now in prime order P. Stewart Chertsey, April 12, 1895 Mr Heseltine, Ashburton, Agent for Walker's Bot-fly Remedies Sir,—The remedies I got from you had a wonderful effect on my horse, he got so bad that I had to lay him up quite expecting to lose him I tried the usual remedies but ho only got worse, at last I gave him Walkers with astonishing results, Bots came away in handfuls and in a few days he was hearty and well from the effects of this remedy on my neighbours horses and my own I consider blessing to horse owners and oould the poor uffering horses speak they would certainly praise Walkers Bot-fly Remedies as the best ever introduced into this market John Downie Anama, April 3, 1895 Mr Heseltine, Sir,—l have pleasure io ying to the wonderful effeo's of Walker's Bot-fly Remedies on my horses, They got J very low in condition, a fry coat, and very I tight skin, and lost all heart at their work, had to lay them up. Hearing so muoh about this remedy 1 deoided to give it a trial. I followed carefully the directions on the labels and the results were euch as to satisfy me j that it is the only remedy for the Buffering j horse. lam certain I got back the cost in [ thei work inside a week. I shall certainly j use it in future in preference to anything else as it has no equal M J TWEEDIE 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 theßemedy, i and the second day after, the horse passed bots in hundreds and is doing well.
