INDICATED STEAM
VerminD
DISINFECTANT,
A NEW AND WONDERFUL INVENTION


Bed Bugs, Cockroaches, Ants, Moths
and Parasites Of all kinds
The apparatus for generating the steam
is an ordinary nursery lamp, holding
half pint of the Medicated Fluid with
tube at the top to direct the Medicated
Steam upon any point infested with in
sects. 1t is heated with small spirit
lamp beneath the boiler. For Dwellings,
Hotels, Steam Ships, Restaurants, ETC.,
nothing ever discovered equals this ap-
pliance. 1t is harmless to human life;
is inexpensive and simple in its use.
While most potent means for destroy
ing vermin, it is the best disinfectant
known and may be most effectually used
to prevent the spread of contagious dis
eases, such as Yellow Fever, Scarlet
Fever, Typhoid Fever, Diptheria, Small
Pox, &c. One trial is the best proof of
the great advantages of this over all
other appliances. For sale by Druggists
and General Dealers.

DOBBINs' ELECTRIC SOAP

Having obtained the agency o.
this celebrated soap for Abbeville
and vicinity, l append the opin
ion of some of our best people a.
to its merits. We have been
using for the last 2 months the
Dobbins' Electric soap, made by
I. L. Cragin & Co Philadelphia
Pa, and find that it washes and
cleans the clothes more rapidly
and more thoroughly and is in
the end cheaper than any other
soap we have ever used in our
family. We can heartily recon.
mend it and a single trial will
convince all of the correctness of
our assertions.
