AQUICK END TO
LICE AND MITES

1t is easy now to rid poultry
houses of mites, and keep the flock
free from lice without the trouble
of spraying, dusting, dipping or
greasing. This is done by using oc-
casionaliy Il tasteless, odorless and
colorless preparation called Limisan
in the fowls drinking water. This
amazing product seems to get rid
of lice and mites almost by magic
in remarkable short time yet it
does not affect the fertility nor
the taste of the eggs or flesh and
is beneficial to the flock. ,gfe
If your chickens are bothered
with lice and mites you are urged
to use Limisan on a basis of sat-
isfaction or money back. A full
seasons supply for the average
flock may be had for only $1.o0
(cash or collect on delivery, plus
fee) from the F. G. Webster Co.,
Dept. 21S, 1912 Forest Avenue,
Kansas City. Mo. In addition they
win also send you a free package
of Inere-so, n splendid tonic that
helps to make healthier birds and
increase egg production during cold
weather. If you want to get rid
of lice. mites and other blood-suck-
ing pests take advantage OF this
fully guaranteed offer today. 1t
should mean healthier, happier
fowls and a greatly increased egg
