Oherteoy, January 15, 1895 To Mr Heaeltino. Agent for Walker's Bot-fly, Remedies, Ashburton Sir, —I consider it my duty to atM my testimony to the marvellous effects of the remediei I got from you on my horsa. He got bo bad that I had to lay him up. No matter what I gave him ho kap'- losing condition and became so weak that he could eoawely stand. I oarefuly followed the direo tions oo the bottles and elwrtly after gett ing the last bottle he passed bote, and at onoa began to mend, and in a few days w&e fit for hia work, lam confident only for the remedy ha would have died. I can highly reoommand it, believing it has no equal.— WIIiLUH SiBINGFKLIiOW. Launeton, August 18, 1894 Mr HeßeWtse,—Sir, I think it is only ri^ht that I ehoul>3 tell you and ray neighboring farmers that I am thoroughly satisfied with Walker's Bot Fly Remedies I got from yon. After seeing the state o! the etomaoh of my borne that died, I beosme alarmed about the rest ol my stock as they all looked bad, I dreoahed eight, following oarefully the direc tions, It oleaaed them out thoroughly and In a few days there was a wonderful change for the better I can highly recommend it and would advisa farmers to lose no time ie droaohing their stock lest they have thai; hones dropping dead as I bao, I believe it to be the only aala and esrtaiia cure for the suffering of horses Tames Lbmoh Afihburton Forks, March 1, 1894 Mr J Heaeltine. 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 some days, bis cost got very dry, the Bkin tight, a running at the nose and a vary bad cough ; and was acaroely 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 he getct 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 gnedioine unequalled, and oan recommend it with all confidence to all horse owners, as the best borne remedy in the market. Edwabd Cobbbtt Greenwood Farm, Southbridge, August a, 1892 Mr Walker. Sir,—l am glad to bear testi* moisy to the wonderful effeota of your Bot Fly-fly Remedies. One of my beet horses be came very bad; the skin tight, the eye life lesa 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 niß feat or do any more. We had to help him into a stable I gave him your Bemediea, and tne treatment you pre scribed, and in a few days be waa quita better, and new at Ms work, hearty and well I quite believe, had I no£ Riven him your Bemedies, he would have died. You oan use this as you please. Bobkkt Thompson Seaside Farm, Wakanui, April 14, 1894 Mr Walker.Dear Sir, —I have great pleasure in informing yon that the bot-fly mixture I got from Mr Heseltine, your agent, was a wonderful Buoceas. I had four horses seriously ill on Deoomber 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 ous of danger and recovering rapidly I drenched two more in February with the same result They all put on flash rapidly, and are now in prime order P. SIEWAET Mt Cross. Burnham, got the Remedy for a horse suffering last year; on reaching home ba was dead. This season one took bad, also showing the symptoms. He gave the Remedy, and the second day after, the horse passed bota in hundredß and is doing well.
