poison speak of it so highly, and after

it is the only poison on the market
worthy of recommendation, l wish to
ask you if you will not thoroughly
advertise it that all will use the same
and soon do away with this greatest
Of all pests to s~tockgrowers.
You should have a big sale for it l
am fully convinced, and I am positive
if you will make it's superior quality
known all will use it. l have heard
enough to satisfy me that it is worthy
of endorsement by all who are inter
ested in the welfare of the stock
grower. Your respectively

Myra Priest, waitress in a restaurant

about 10 years Of age who had been
adopted by a lady named Mrs. Veneer
who resides near Whitewood.
Mrs. Vener is well off financially
and had promised to leave to the lit
tie girl all her property. To hasten
this end, it is alleged, the mother of
the girl sent a box of candy saturat-
ed with strychnine to the little girl
with instructions for her to not eat
any of it herself, but to give it to Mrs.
Veneer, which was done. The woman
ate of the candy and was at once
taken sick. Her life was saved by
physicians.

After giving the same a most

results by constant use Of the same.
Mr.. Lindsey, n of my men got p
wolves with three bottles and their
carcasses were found all the way
from six to one hundred feet from the
bait.
l heartily recommend this %strychnine
to all stockmen, and hope that you will
push the sale of it, as the wolf is one
of the greatest pests to the stock
grower, and for me l have found this
a most practical method of Kidding my
range of the same, and if it is good for
me it must be good for others. Next

Dear Sirs: After using forty ounces
Of your %strychnine or wolf poison this
fall and winter, we take great pleasure
in saying that it is the best poison we
have ever seen or used. We get more
wolves and coyotes with an n
bottle of it than WI generally get with
a dozen of the common grades.
When all stockmen realize that this
poison is all that is claimed for it,
and use it as we will continue to do,
we will then have less wolves to con-
tend with. We hope you will advertise
this poison and push the sale of it as
the wolf question is a problem which
we all have to deal with alike.
