No Trouble to Get Rid
of Lice and Mites
on Poultry
Mineralized Water Does the
Work Without Dusting !.
or Spraying.

A recent discovery promises
to revolutionize all the common.
ly accepted methods for keeping
poultry free from lice, mites,
blue bugs and other parasites.
This wonderful product keeps
the poultry always insect free
without the poultry raiser doing
any work. It is the simplest,
easiest. surest and best method
ever discovered.
Any poultry raiser can easily
rid his flock of lice and insects,
make chickens grow faster and
increase their egg yield by sim
ply adding minerals to the fowls
drinking water. This does away
with all bother, such as busting,
greasing, dipping and spraying.
The necessary minerals can now
be obtained in convenient tab.
lets, known as Lpstabs. Soon
after the fowls drink the miner.
allied water all lice, mites and
insects leave them. Taken into
the system of the bird, it comes
out through the oil glands of the
skin and every louse, mite or
other vermin leaves the body.
It is guaranteed to help the
hatchability of the eggs and
cannot injury the flavor of the
eggs or meat. Little chicks that
drink freely of the water will
never be bothered with mites or
lice. Especially recommended
for raisers of pure bred stock as
there is no risk of soiling the
plumage.
Lustabs are sold under a guar.
antee and if not delighted with
results in ten days-if your
chickens are not healthier, lay
ing more eggs and entirely free
from lice and mites your money
will be refunded.
Any reader of this paper may
try Lustabs without risk, we are
so confident of good results that
to introduce them to every poul.
try raiser we offer two big 81 90
packages for only $1.O0. Send
no money, just your name and
address to the Grace Company,
2O5 Wheat Building, Fort Worth,
Texas, and the two $1.OO pack.
