FIGHTING RATS WITH vARNIsh
New Form Of Trap Used on London
Docks Said to Have Had Graf
flying Success.

It Is computed that the London,
docks contain about 100000 rats,
which attack grain, food, and other
catgoes, causing about $4,000 900 loss
per annum. A society was established
to exterminate this destructive enemy,
but the congested state Of the whlrves
made their schemes imperative. Now
new benefactor mas come forward
with 2 trap" that, opens UP. posi-
bili:y of putting armies Of rodents out
Of bust ness..-,--T The process employed IL
simple. Traps are placed along or
near rat holes. The trap is made Of
cardboard covered with photographic
varnish. The varnishr Is warmed BY
heating its container In boiling water
till the varnfsh becomes sufficiently
liquid, wien it is spread -1-18 to 1-8
Of an inch thick on pieces Of straw
board or thtckish cardboard. measur-
ing about Is In. by ~ In. A margin
Of about in. is left clear Of varnisl1;
and bait placed IA the center Of the
board, where It adheres to the varntsh.
Bags Of 60 at a time have been Sc
cured. The medical officer Of health
for the port of London reports favor
ably Of the antidote to the rat thief.
and gives 1t as his opinion that once
their tails stick on the board they
are doomed, and that the majority die
Of fright. Another feature is that If
two rats get on to the varnish to.
gether one Of them kills the other;
evidently thinking the other is holding
him.

acid which forms 1t into a pulp very
much like paper pulp. K It is then
washed with water, which removes

 It is a physicians prescription.
 Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi- cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad. der do the work nature intended they should do.

 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & O., Binghamton, N. Y.. for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Adv.

A WELLkNOWN INSTITUTION.

Probably no institution in America Is more widely known than Doctor Pierce's Invalids' Hotel in Buffalo, N. Y. Although established many years ago 1t is today modern sanitarlum, having all the latest facilities for the correct diagnosis of diseases and their successful treatment through medicine or surgery.
 It was Dr. Pierce, its founder. who over 50 years ago gave to the world that wonderful stomach tonic and blood purifier, Golden Medical Discovery" and that famous non- alcoholic medicine for women, Pa yorite Prescription"
 In his early professional career, Dr. Pierce realized that every family, but especially those who live remote from a physician, should have at hand an instructive book that would teach them something about First Aid, Physi- ology, Anatomy, Hygiene; how to rec ognize different diseases. how to care for the sick, what to do in case of ac- cident or sudden sickness, etc, so he published that great book, the Medical Adviser" an up-todate edition of which can be procured by sending 50 cents to Doctor Pierce's Invalids' Hotel in Buffalo, N. !.
 Later, Dr. Pierce added another link to his chain of good works by estab- fishing a bureau of correspondence to which any one can write for medical advice, without any expense whatever, and if necessary, medicines especially prepared in Doctor Pierce's Laboratory will be sent by parcel post or express for use at home, at reasonable cost. Thus those who have symptoms of dis ease need not suffer mental agony fear ing that they have some serious ail- ment, but can have diagnosis made free by a physician of high profess sional standing. Write to Dr. Pierce relating your symptoms if you need medical advice for any chronic disease. All letters regarded as confidential.
