GOOD NEWS ! GOOD NEWS ! ! NO MORE FOOT ROT. GRAHAM & CO.'S Permanent Cure forPootrot (PATENTED). TO SHEEPOWNERS. TCTOW the Wool Market is firmer, and -A-^l priceß are ruling higher every day, SAVE YOUR SHEEP that would other, wise be worthless, at a cost of ONE HALFPENNY per HEAD. It haß often been remarked, and is undoubtedly true, that the sheepowncrs' worst enemy ia FOOTROT. Its effects aro soon shown m the declining condition of the sheep and its wool, and although lately many scientific opinions have been expressed with regard to it m the public Press, there is uo doubt that the so-called remedies there suggested have all been tried m these colonies, ending only m disappointment and failure, tho result being that m using arsenic, vitriol, carbolic acid, and other things that are recommended, they have added fuel to tbo fire m burning the cheeps' feet altogether, and m most instances makiDg them worse than before. With all deference to the opinions of these scientific men, our thirty years' practical (not theoretical) experience of sheep, and study of this question, has led us to come to the conclusion that the CAUSES and NATURE of this disease are not understood, and up to the present time it has alwaTß been wrongly treated. We invite tho publio to read the following testimonial, which shows that we 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 ever since, and are still running on the SAME MARSHY SWAMP without showing any signs of FOOTROT.— Yours faithfully, Wallace Bbos." We can also bring PROOF that wo have not failed m any single instance to effect a COMPLETE CUBE, even m the worst cases, where numbers of sheep have DIED EVERY YEAR. Our chief difficulty is to CONVINCE the public that this is not one of the many spurious patent medicines which have from time to tirao been foisted upon them, but we trust the following disinterested testimonial to our Agents will Bet them right : — " Leslie Hills, Oulverden, "June 17th, 1886. "Messrs Matson, Buss and Co., Hangiora. "Dear Sirs, — I notice by the Standard that Grabain and Co. are now offering their euro for footrot for ealo to the publio. I have always been very sceptical as to the results of these patent cures for diseases m sheep, of which we have had so many offered us of late. I am quite satisfied that if Graham and Co. will only sell us the quality of stuff as he used himself when working on footrot sheep m this district, there will be no necessity for Graham and Co. to go to Kimberley for somo years. I have seen a good deal of the Montrose rams these few years; 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 have never had any footrot on this property till the other day a few footrot sheep came m a mob of crossbreds from turnipß. Please send me at once a gallon of Graham and Co.'s Patont, to tho care of D , and oblige. — Yours faithfully, Duncan Rtjthbefobd."
