GRAHAM & CO.'S Permanent Cure for Footrot (PATENTED). TO SHEEPOWNERS. NOW tho Wool Market is firmer, and prices are ruling higher every day, SAVE YOUR SHEEP that would otherwise be worthless, at a coat of ONE HALFPENNY per HEAD. It has often been remarked, and is undoubtedly true, that the sheepowners' woret enemy is FOOTROT. Its effects are soon shown m tho 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 no doubt that tho so-called remedies there 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 have added fuel to the fire m burning the sheeps' feet altogether, and m most instances making them woreo 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, lias 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 public 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 BWAMP without showing any signs of FOOTROT.— Yours faithfully, Wallace Bbos." We can also bring PROOF that we have not failed m any single instance to effect a COMPLETE CURE, 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 Bpurious patent medicines which have from time to tirno been foisted upon them, but we trust the following disinterested testimonial to our Agents will Bet them right : — " Leslie Hills, Culverden, " Juno 17th, 1886. "Messrs Matson, Buss and Co., Rangiora. " Dear Sirs,— l notice by tho Standard that Graham and Co. are now offering their cure for footrot for sale to tho public I have alwayß 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 Bheep m this district, there will be no necessity for Graham and Co. to go to [ Kimberley -for some years. I have seen a 1 good deal of tho Montroso rams these few 1 years ; they were TERRIBLY BAD with footrot, and as Graham cured them with two ■ dressings, I am NOW SATISFIED that a 1 CURE for footrot HAS BEEN FOUND. I 1 havo never had any footrot on this property 1 till the other day a few footrot sheep came m [ a mob of erossbreds from turnips. Please ) send me at once a gallon of Graham and Co.'s . Patent, to tho care of D , and oblige. — 1 Yours faithfully.. Duncan Rdthebfobd." Wo can assuro the public that we havo only one standard for our Preparation, and that is the BEST.
