He was ailiog for foma days, hia coat got very dry, the Bkin tight, a running at the nose and a very bad cough ; end was searoely able to walk about; we qui'.e expected he would die. I heard a good d&al about Walker's Bot Fly Remedisp, and gave it with the most satisfactory results, and shortly af er be getct the last bottle he began to im- i 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 rsoommsnd it with all confidence to all horse owners, as the best horse remedy in the market.
