He got bo bad that I had to lay him up. No matter what I gave him he kept losing condition and became so weak that ha oould scarcely stand. I oarefuly followed the direc tions on the bottles and shortly after gett ing the last bottle he passed bota, 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, believing it has no equal,— William Stbingfellow, Liunston, August 18, 1894 Mr Heseltine,—Sir, I ibink it is only rißbt that I should tell you and my neighboring farmers that I am thoroughly satisfied with Walker's Bofc Fly Remedies I got from you. Alter eeei'ig the state of the Btomaoh of my horse that died, I became alarmed about the rest of my stock as they alt looked bad, I drenched eight, following carefully the direc tions, It cleaned them out thoroughly and in a few days there was a wonderful change for the better I can highly recommend it and would advise farmers to lose no time in drenching 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 Tames Lemon Ashbarton Forko, March 1, 1894 Mr J Headline. Sir—l em very glad to tell you that Walker's Bot-fly Remedies I got from you proved quite a success with my dyioK horse. He was ailing for soms day?, his coat got very dry, the skin tight, a running at the nose and a very bad cough ; and wae Boaroe y 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 moat satisfactory resu'tß, and shortly af'er be a( 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 unequalled, and can recommend it with all confidence to all horse owners, as (he test horee renrdy in the market. Edwakd Cobbett Greenwood Farm, Southbridge, Augusta, 1892 Mr Walker.

We had to help him into a stable I gave him your Remedies, and tne treatment you pre scribed, and in a few days he waa quite better, and now at his work, hearty ana well I quite believe, had I nos given him your Remedies, he would have died. You can use this as you please. Robert Thompson Seaside Farm, Wakanul, April 14,1894 Mr Walker.Dear Sir,—l have great pleasure in informing you that the bot-fly mixture I got from Mr Heaeltine, your agent, was a wonderful success. I had four horses seriously ill on December last. After using al the remedies I could think of I was induced to try your mixture. The result was mar vellouß, 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. Stkwabt Mr Cross. Burn ham, got the Remedy for a borsa suffering last year; on reaching home he wag dead. Tbis season one took bad, also showing the symptoms.
