I oarefuly followed the direc tions en the bottles and shortly after gett ing the last bottle he passed bots, and at once began to mend, and in a few dayß 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 SxbingfkhiOW. L&unston, August 18,1894 Mr Heßeltine,~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 seeing the state of the Btomaoh of my horse that died, I became alarmed about the rest of my stock as they all looked bad, I drenched eigh', 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 drenohing their stock lest they have their horses dropping dead as I had, I beli?ve it to be the only safe and certain oure for the suffering of horses Tames Lemon Ashburton Forks, March 1, 1894 Mr J Hes ltine.
