Department of Agrioultube, Hawera In reply to your request as to my reporting to you my opinion of the result of your dressing sheep at Mr Lysaght'a an ML Nicholas' with your Foot-Rot Speoifio, 1 have every confidence m saying that the cure was a perfeot one, although the weather was very wet and Btormy ; and the examination was only six days after the feet had been dressed. Some of the sheep were very badly affected, nearly the whole of the foot having rotted off I should reoommend all sheep owners to use your Speoifio if their sheep are troubled with Foot-rot, as it is easily put on, and I am sure t will give satisfaction. — I remain, yours txnl ALEXANDER MONRO,
