Although the original partnerships have been combined into one great organization, yet the unit idea is maintained, for each

Dr.. Hess Fly Chaser
makes cows milkable

They relax. They let down. You
get the last drop. 1t is long lasting.
DIR. Hess Fly Chaser has the odor
of the pines. Because of this odor
it serves a threefold purpose:
First-it is the most effective
fly and mosquito repellent known
to science-quick in action, long
lasting.
Second-It is an excellent disin-
fectant. Therefore, while it is
keeping the flies away, it is also
destroying the disease germs that
attack your cows body-disinfect-
ing your barns, and injecting in
to the atmosphere most healtful
odor.
Third-No herd sprayed with
DR.. Hess Fly Chaser ever suffers
from warbles, which cause great
annual loss to dairymen and farm
ers.
Ii does not blister-does not
stain the hairGdoes not taint
Milk. Applied to. the hand and
face, it keeps the mosquitoes
away.
If DIR. Hess Fly Chaser does not
prevent the milk slump, make your
cows milkable in hy-time, save
your horse-flesh all summer long,
it will not cost you one cent.
