GOOD NEWS ! GOOD NEWS ! ! NO MORE FOOT ROT. GRAHAM & CO.'S Permanent Cure forFootrot (PATENTED). TO SHEEPOWNERS. NOW the Wool Market is firmer, and prices are ruling higher every day, SAVE YOUR SHEEP that would otherwise be worthless, at a coßt of ONE HALFPENNY per HEAD. It has often been remarked, and is undoubtedly true, that the shoepowncrs' worst enemy is FOOTROT. Its effects are soon shown m tho declining condition of tho sheep and its wool, and although lately many scientific opinions have been expressed with regard to it m the public Press, there is no doubt that the so-called remedies tboro suggested have all been tried m these colonies, ending only m disappointment and failure, the result being that m using arsenic, vitriol, carbolic acid, and other things that are recommended, they havo added fuel to tho fire m burning the sheeps' feet altogether, and m moat instances making them worse than before. With all deference to tho opinions of these scientific men, our ! thirty years' practical (not theoretical) experience of sheep, and study of this question, Las led us to come to tho conclusion that the CAUSES and NATURE of this disease are not understood, and up to the present time it has always been wrongly treated. We invite tho pubho to read the following testimonial, which shows that wo CAN CURE FOOTROT for OVER TWELVE MONTHS, and this m a case where all other means had been tried and failed : — " Flaxton, June 28th, 1886. "Messrs W. Graham and Co., Southbrook. " Dear Sirs, — We have pleasure m stating that the sheep you dressed for us m May 1885, OVER TWELVE MONTHS AGO, have . remained PERFECTLY SOUND on their feet evor since, and aro still running on tho SAME MARSHY BWAMP without showing any signs of FOOTROT.— Yours faithfully, Wallace Bbos." We can also bring PROOF that we have not failed m any single inßtanco to effect a COMPLETE CURE, even m tho worst cases, where numbers of sheep have DIED EVERY YEAR. Our chief difficulty is to CONVINCE the public that this is not ono of the many spurious patent medicines which have from time to time been foisted upon tnera, but we trust the following disinterested testimonial to our Agents will set them right : — " Leslie Hills, Culverden, " June 17th, 1886. "Messrs Matson, Buss and Co., Rangiora. "Dear Sirs, — I notice by tho Standard that Grabam and Co. ore now offering their cure for footrot for sale to tho public. I have always been very sceptical as to tho rosults of theso patent cures for diseases m sheep, of which we havo had so many offered ua of lato. I am quite satisfied that if Graham and Co. will only sell ua the quality of stuff as ho used himself when working on footrot sheep m this district, thero will be no necessity for Graham and Co. to go to Kimberley for some years. I have seen a good deal of the Montioso rams these few years j they were TERRIBLY BAD with footrot, and as Graham cured them with two dressings, I am NOW SATISFIED that a CURE for footrot HAS BEEN FOUND. I hare never had any footrot on this property till tho other day a few footrot sheep came m a mob of croßsbreds from turnips. Please send mo at once a gallon of Graham and Co.'s Patent, to the care of D , and oblige. — Youra faithfully, Duncan Ruthbbfobd." We can assure the publid that we have only one standard for our Preparation, and that is the BEST. It ie carefully manufactured from the best ingredients obtainable, and we aro determined to maintain its present popularity. Our terms are CASH — NO CURE NO PAY. Prico, 10s per gallon (sufficient to dress about 250 sheep). We GUARANTEE to keep large slalions entirely FREE from FOOTROT on the most reasonable annual terms. We are open to PURCHASE sheep afflicted with footrot, NO MATTER HOW BAD, therefore do not have them destroyed, or allow them to die.
