IVALKER'S BOT-FEY REMEDY. Chertsey, January 15, 1895 To Mr Heseltine. Agent for Walker's Bot fly Remedies, Ashbur'on Sib, —I consider it my duty to add my testimony to tbe marvellous effects of the remedies I got from you on my horse. Be got so bad that I had to lay him up. No matter what I gave him he kept losing condition and became so wenk that he could scarcely stand. I earefuly followed the direc tions on the bottles and shjrily afier gett ing tbe laßt. bottle he passed bota, and fit once began to mend, und in a few days was fit for bi<? work. lam confident only for the remedy he would have died. I can highly recommend it, believing it has no equal.— William Stkingfellow. Launston, August 18, 1894 Mr HeseHine,—Sir, I think it is only right that I should tell you and my neighboring farmers that I am thoroughly satisfied with Walker's Bot Fly Remedies I got from you. After eeeing the state of tbe stomach of my horee that died, I became alarmed about the rest of my stock as they all looked bad, I drenohed eighr, following carefully the direc tions, It cleaned them out thoroughly and in a few days there was a wonderful change for the better I oan highly recommend it and would advise farmers to lose no time in drenohtcg their stock lest they have their horses dropping dead as I had, I belbve it to be the only safe and certain cure for the suffering of horses Tames Lemon Ashburton Forks, March 1, 1894 Mr J Heseltine. Sir—l am 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 coma daya, his coat got very dry, the skin tight, a running at tbe nose and a very bad cough ; and was goaroeiy able to walk about; we quite expected he would die. I heard a good deal about Walker's Bot Fly Remedies, and gave it With the most satisfactory results, and shortly after be get 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 unequalled, and can recommend it with all confidence to all horse owners, as the best horse remedy in the market. Edwabd Cobbett Greenwood Farm, Southbridge, August Si, 1892 . Mr Walker. Sir,—l am glad to bear testi. mony to the wonderful effects of your Bot Fly-fly Remedies; One of my best horses be came very bad; the ekin tight, the eye life less and a bad color, and got low in condition Anxious to finish ploughing a paddock I did J 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 t I Remedies, and tne treatment you pre ebribed, and in a few days he was quite better, and new at his work, hearty and well I quite believe, had I not given him your Remedies, he would have died. Yon can use this 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 Heseltiue, 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 drenohed two more in February with the same result They all put on flesh rapidly, and are now in prime order P. Stewart Mr Cross. Burnham, got the Remedy for a horse suffering last year; on reaching home he was dead. Tbia season one took bad, also showing the symptoms. He gave the Remedy, and the second day after, the horse passed bots in hundreds and is doing well. Chertsey, April 12, 1895 Mr Heseltine, Ashburton, Agent for Walker's Bot-fly Remedies Sir, —Tbe remedies I got from you had a wonderful efftct on my horse, he got 30 bad ihatlhadto lay him up quite expecting to lose him I tried the usual remedies but he enly got worse, at last I cave him Walkers with astonishing results, Bots came away in handfuls and in a few days be was hearty and well from tbe effects of this remedy on my neighbours horses and my own I consider it a blessing Jo horse owners and could the poor suffering horses speak tbey would certainly praise Walkers Bot-fly Remedies as the beet ever introduced inlo this market John Dowsie Anoma, April 3,1895 Mr Heßeltine. Sib,—l have pleasure in testi fv:op to the wonderful effeo s of Waikei's Bot-fly Remedies on my horses, They got very low in condition, a cry coat, and very tight skin, and lost all heart at their work. I had to lay them up, Hearing bo much about; this remedy I deaided to give it a trial. I followed carefully the directions on the labels and the refults were fuch as to satisfy me that it is the only remsdy for the suilering horse. lam certain 1 got back the cost in their work inside a week.

IT has been amply proved by the Testi monials of thousands of the First Practical Agriculturists In England, as well as by dozens of farmers in the Ash burton District, that this preparation materially assists the germination of the scad, causing the young plant to come up much sooner, and arow more vigorously, protects it to maturity from tbe ravages of the Slug, Grub, and Wireworm, adds firmness to the straw to support the ear.
