GOOD NEWS ! GOOD NEWS ! ! NO MORE FOOT ROT. GRAHAM & CO.'S Permanent Cure forFootrot } (PATENTED). TO SHEEPOWNERS. "WO"0W the Wool Market is firmer, and A-% prices are ruling higher evory day, SAVE YOUR SHEEP that would otherwise be worthless, at a cost of ONE HALF- > PENNY per HEAD. It has often been remarked, and is undoubtedly true, that th sheepowners' worst enemy is FOOTROT. Its effects are soon shown m the declining i condition of tho sheep and its wool, and although lately many scientific opinions have been expressed with regard to it m tho public Press, there is no doubt that the so-called ' remedies there suggested have all been tried m theso colonies, ending only m disappointmont and failure, tho result being that m using arsenic, vitriol, carbolic acid, and other things that are recommended, they have added fuel to the fire m burning the sheeps' i i feet altogether, and m most instances making i ; 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 always been wrongly treated. We invite tho publm 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 dressod for us m May 1885, OVER TWELVE MONTHS AGO, have remained PERFECTLY SOUND on their feet erer since, and are still running on the SAMB MARSHY SWAMP without showing any Bigns of FOOTROT.— Yours faithfuSy, Wallace Bbos." We can also bring PROOF that we have not failed m any single instance to effect a COMPLETE CURE, oven m the worst caseß, where numbers of sheep have DIED EVERY YEAR. Our chief difficulty is to CONVINCE tho public that this is not one of the many spurious patent medicines which have from time to lime beon foisted upon them, but we trust the following disinterested testimonial to our Agents will set them right : — " Leslie Hills, Culverden, "June 17th, 1886. " Messrs MatßOn, Bubs and Co., Rangiora. " Dear Sir«, — I notice by the Standard that Graham and Co. are now offering their cure for footrot for Bale to the public I hare always been very sceptical as to the results of these patent cures for diseases m sheep, of which we havo had so many offered us of late. I am quite satisfied that if Graham and Co. will only sell us tho quality of stuff bb 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 some years. I have seen a good deal of tho 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 havo never had any footrot on this property till tho other day a fow footrot sheep came m a mob of crossbreds from turnips. Please send me atom c a gallon of Graham and Co.'s Patont, to the care of D , and oblige. — Yours faithfully, Duncan Ruthbbfobd."

It is carefully manufactured from the best ingredients obtainable, and we are determined to maintain its present popularity. Our terms are CASH — NO CURE NO PAY.
