Agent for Walker's Bot-fly Ben»edio3, Ashburton Sir, —I consider it my duty to add my testimony to the marvellous efiecta of the remedies I got from you on my horse. He got so bad that I had to lay him up. No matter what I gave him he kept losing condition and becama co weak that he could souroely Btand. I oarefuly followed the direc tions on tho bottles and shortly after gett ing the lae'e bottle ho passed bots, and at onoe began to mend, and in a few days was fit for hie work, lam confident only for the remedy he would have died. I can highly recommend it, believing it faaa no equal — William Steingfellow. Launaton, August 18, 1894 Mr Heseltine, —Sir, I 'bink it is only ri^ht that I should tell you and my neighboring {p.rmers that I am thoroughly satisfied with Walker's Bot Fiy Remedies' I got from you. After seeing the rate of the stomach of my horse that died, I became alarmed about the rest of my stock aa they all looked bad, I drenched eight, following carefully the direc tions, It olflsued them out thoroughly and in a few days there was a wonderful change for the bettor I can highly recommend it and would advise farmera to lose no time in drenching their stock lost they have their horses dropping dead as I had, I beli°ve it to be the only safe and certain oare for the suffering of horses James Lemon ABhburton Forks, March 1, 1894 Mt J Heseltine. Sir—l sm very glad to ' tell you that Walker's Bot-fly Remedies I got from yon proved quite a success with my dying horse. He was ailing for r<oma days, his coat got very dry, the skin tight, a running at the noßo itnd ft very bad cough ; ?»nd wea s(jaroe«y abla to walk about; we quite expected | he would die. I heard a good dtal about ! Walker's Bot Fly Bemedies, and gave it with the most satiefstotory results, and shortly I af'er beget the last bottle he began to im prove and by the end of a week was able for i work hearty and well I believe it to bo a medicine unequalled, and can recommend it with all confidence to all horse owners, as the beet borae remedy in the market. Edwabd Cosbktt Greenwood Farm, Southbridge, August 2, 1892 Mr Walker. Sir,—l atn stlad to bear testi mony to the wonderful effects of your Bot Fly-fly Remedies. Ono of my beet horsea be came very bad; ths skin tight, the eye life less and a bad color, and got low in oonditiou Anxious to finish ploughing a paddock I did 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 Bemedies, and fcne treatment you pre scribed, and in a few days he was quite j better, and new at his work, hearty and well I quite believe, bad I not given him your Remedies, he would have died, You can use this as you please. PiOBBRT Thompson Seaside Farm, Wakanui, April 14, 1894 Mr Walker.Dear Sir, —I have great pleasure in informing you thafc the bot-fly mixture I got: from Mr Heaeltino, your agent, was a wonderful success. I had four horses etriously ill on December last. After using all the remedies I oould 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 drenched two more in February with the some result They all put on flash rapidly, and are now in prime order P.
