Agent for Walker's Bot fly Remedies, Ashburlon 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 to b»d that I had to lay him up. No matter what I gave him he kept losing condition and became so weak that he could Botraely stand. I earefuly followed the direc tions on the bottles and shortly after gett ing tbe list bottle he passed bets, and at onoe began to mend, and in a few days was fit for hia work. IBm confident only for the remedy he would have died. I can highly reoommend it, believing it has no equal.— WIIiMAH StBINGFELLOW.

I heard a good deal about Walker's Bot Fly Remedie?, and give it With the most satisfactory resu'ts, and shortly af'er be «ft the last bottle he began to im prove and by the end of a week was able for work hearty end well I believe it to be & ruedi<rne unequalled, end can reoommend it with all confidence to all horse owners, aa the best horse rem:dy in the market.
