WISCONSIN EXPERIMENT STATION 



Recognizes and Endorses Dr. David Roberts' Anti-Abortion Treat- 

 ment — Mr. Baird's Herd Saved From Ruin. 



State of Wisconsin, / 



Waukesha County. \.®^- 



To Whom It May Concern : 



S. A. Baird, being first duly sworn, on oath deposes and says, as follows: 

 My herd of cows was afflicted with Infectious abortion for at least six years — 

 losing a large number of calves each year — at the same time trying to get rid of the 

 disease by selling the cows or heifers that aborted and buying new ones in their 

 places, but the new ones would abort very soon after being brought into my herd. 

 In this way the disease seemed to increase, my loss being greater each year. I 

 used various remedies advertised for the cure of this disease, but they all failed to 

 even improve my herd. I began to think it was an incurable disease and was very 

 much discouraged, when I happened to think that the Wisconsin Agricultural 

 Experiment Station at Madison might be able to give me some information in 

 regard to the disease or a treatment for same. So I wrote to Professor W. A. 

 Henry, who is president of the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station, and 

 was answered by Professor W. L. Carlyle, who was at the head of the Animal 

 Husbandry, and who advised me to consult Dr. David Roberts of my own city in 

 regard to my afflicted herd, which I did. The doctor advised me to treat my herd 

 with his Anti-Abortion Tre.^tment, which I began doing on the 19th of December, 

 1899, and gave them a full treatment, according to directions with the best results. 

 I am positive the Treatment cured my herd and it prevented some of my cows 

 from aborting after they had showed symptom.s, such as swelling of the udder and 

 vulva. The symptoms would disappear in about ten days, and the cows would 

 carry their calves full time. It has done all that Dr. Roberts claims for it, and 

 I cannot speak too highly of it. It has given me both pleasure and profit. 



Signed : S. A. Baird, 



Waukesha, Wis. 

 Subscribed and sworn to before me this 20th day of November, 1903.

Professor A. S. Alexander, M. D., C. V. S., Veterinarian of the Wisconsin 

 Agricultural Experiment Station, Madison, Wis., permits me to refer to him as 

 a believer in the efficiency of Dr. Roberts' Anti-Abortion Treatment, and in giving 

 advice by mail to a Wisconsin correspondent some months ago, said: "I must 

 confess, however, that I cannot prescribe anything for contagious abortion that 

 gives as good results as those obtained from the use of Dr. David Roberts' Anti- 

 Abortion Treatment, which to my knowledge has succeeded where thorough appli- 

 cation of an antiseptic treatment advised by me had failed to stay or prevent the 

 disease. His other remedies are also reliable and worthy of extended use by 

 stockmen." Dr. David Roberts.
