He got so bad that I had to lsy him up. No matter what I gavo him he kept losing oondition and beoaroe so weak that he opuld scarcely stand. I oarefuly followed the direo- tions on the bottles and shortly after gett- ing tbe last bottle he passed bots, and nt once beßan to mend, and m a few days was fit for his work. lam oonfidant only for the remedy he would have died.

We had to help him into a stable I gave him your Remedies, and tne treatment you pre- scribed, and m a few days he was quite better, and new at hiß work, hearty and well I quite believe, had I not given him your Remedies, he would have died. You oan use this as you please.
