Liurißton, August 18, 1894 Mr Heeeltine,—Sir, I think it is only right that I Bbculd tell you and my neighboring farmers that I am thoroughly fatiefied with Walker's Bot Fly Remedies I got from you. After seeing the state of the stomach of my hore that died, I became alarmed about the rest of my stock as they alt looked bad, I drenobed eight, following carefully the direc tions, It cleaned them out thoroughly and in a few days there was ft wonderful obange , for the better I can highly recommend it aod 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 oertstu oure for the suffering of hones James Lkmon Ashburton Forks, Maroh 1, 1894 Mr J Heßeltine. 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 gome days, hia coat got very dry, the skin tight, a running at the nose and a very bad cough ; and was aoaroely 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 g( 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 baa medicine unequalled, and oan recommend it with all confidence to all horse owner?, as the best horse remedy in the market. Edward Cobbett Greenwood Farm, Southbridge, August %, 1892 } Mr Walker. Sir, —I am glad to bear testi mony to the wonderful effects of your Bot Fly-fly Remedies.

We had to help him into a stable I gave him your Remedies, and tnn treatment you pre scribed, . and in a few days he was quite better, and new at hia work, hearty and well I quite believe, had I nos given him your Remedies, he would have died. You oan use this as you please. Robekt Thompson Seaside Farm, Wakanui, April 14, 1894 Mr Walker. Dear Sir,—l have great pleasure in informing you that the bot-fly mixture I got from Mr Heseltiae, your Bgent, was a wonderful success. I had four horses seriously ill on December 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 out of danger and recovering rapidly I drenched two more in February wiih the same result They all put on flesh rapidly, and are now in prime order P.

ASHBUKTON, A PHIL 23, 1895. WINDING UP BUSINESS. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE beg to return our sincere thanks for the very liberal patronage accorded us since opening in Ashburton. Our main object in opening a Branch in your town was to show you what sterling value we give for ready cash, and we feel sure, from the large trade which we have done with you, that you have appreciated our efforts. We intend CLOSING THIS BRANCH at an early date, expecting that your future orders will be posted direct to us at Christchurch, where they will receive the personal attention of the firm, and will be forwarded to your address, carriage paid. It is not our inten tion to return the Ashburton Stock to Christ church, preferring to realise upon it here. Extra assistance will be engaged, as we wish to CLEAR THE ENTIRE STOCK BY THE MIDDLE OF MAY. Special inducements will be offered to buyers of large as well as small parcels. Parties furnishing, or those wanting to lay in a good winter's supply of Clothing, Dresses, and the thousand and one items comprising the Stock, should pay us an early visit—as the Stock has just been re plenished with a large consignment of the newest Goods, through the Christchurch House direct from London, TERMS CASH. NO BOOKING. G. L BEATH AND GO ASEBURTON.
