THE "SCOUR" IN CALVES
It is calculated that fully 20,000 > calves have, in the past, died annually m this Colony from the complaint known as the "Scours." This represents a loss to the farmers of, at least, .£25,000. There is no necessity for calves to die from scours, if the proper remedy is used in time. Mr Alox. Colson, of New Plymouth, so well and widely known in connection with the stook sales ot Mr Newton King, the well-known auctioneer says: "Thoro is no mistake, those Scour Drenches made by Ellis, of Stratford, are a wonderful remedy. I never saw anything oqual to them. I had some calvos, the other day, lying almost dead from scour. I gave them one dose each, just on the off chance, hardly expecting thorn to live. Noxt day, those samo calvos wore strong and well, and as lively as crickets. I strongly recommond every farmer to keep them by him, for I can guarantoo if ho uses thorn in time ho will never havo his calvos die from the Scours. These Drenches may be obtained through all storekeepers, at Is 6d per packet, with full directions ; or they will bo sent froo by post on receipt of the amount, in postal notes from the solo manufacturer, W. A. Ellis, M.P.S., Veterinary Druggist, Stratford. The wholesale agents are Sharland and Co., Wellington and £>ucklan4.
