| Improvement. Then / experienced change.
which continued until my departure, and re-
turned to my home very much stronger,
and almost free from pain.
do not hesitate to say TO anyone seeking
relief from pain, and desiring rest, that do
not believe there is any place where an IN
valid can go and find so many advantages,
such as healing waters, pure AR, grand
mountain scenery and comfortable hotel &C

How to Poison or Trap Wolves, Foxes and

Take a fresh dead cow or horse, re-
move the hide, cut the animal open,
cash the outside with knife and put
strychnine in the incisions and on the
entrails. The crystals of strychnine
soon dissolve and penetrate the flesh.
Carcasses thus prepared are often
frozen before the wolves find them, but
the wolves eat of the frozen blood from
the thoraN and die from twenty minutes
TO an hour after eating. The action of
the poison in warm weather is much
quicker.
Occasionally poison is unsuccessfully
used, but the hunter is almost sure of
some pelts and is sometimes richly re-
warded. From fifty to seventy-five
wolves have been killed in one night
