| large experience, and claiming to be as
humane as the rest of US, communicates
| to the A0rieuttTist the fact that he rids

! in their runs and holes. The poor
wretehes get it over their feet and fur,

land the more til ey see of 1.-THE less they
like; and SO they clear out as soon as
the application isimade. To get rid of

ic, mingled with any favorite food;
they take it, take sick, and take their
leave. ~ i73nf i''. trf;r ~ 1ei is5ie
