RATS.—There are two objections to the common mode of
killing rats by laying poison for them; first, the ;danger to
which it exposes other animals, and even human beings,
second, the possibility that the rats, having partaken of it,
may retire to their holes, and dying there, cause au intoler-
able stench, and produce numerous crawling insects. Greer's
Patent Anti-Vermin Mixture for the immediate destruction
of rats and mice, is tree from these objections and has
effectually cleared dwelling houses, ships, and other places,
that were ..much infested with these destructive and
disagreeable inmates. The smell of the bait will attract
the vermin• from• their holes, and it being such a special
delicacy to them, they will devour it with greediness,
and die on the spot. To be had at the Anti Vermin
Office, 49, Brownlow hill, Liverpool, at 6d, Is, and 4s each.
Can be sent lice by post to any part of the United Kingdom,
America, Australia, U.—Advt.
