BUBONIC PLAGUE.
HOW TO DESTROY RATS!!
8
BUBONIC PLAGUE is a Disease among Rats and Mice, and they being migrating animals the infection is carried from house to house. It matters not how perfect the Sanitary Arrangements may be, if Rats and Mice are permitted to remain about the Premises the disease can be contracted. The best safeguard is to destroy Rats and Mice.
NEWTON'S RAT CHEESE.
This is the only preparation ever compounded which will effectually rid your house of these pests, as well as keep the premises
free from them.
All that is necessary to do is to sprinkle the powder about where rats and mice frequent, inside the holes or between floors
The rats eat it and then seek the sewers for water, when death is produced. With NEWTON'S RAT CHEESE it is not necessary to mix with any other substance to induce the animals to eat it, but
sprinkle about according to directions, and the Rat Cheese does the rest.
The Rats will not die in the House after Eating NEWTON'S RAT CHEESE.
RATS AND MICE SPREAD DISEASES.
The fact has been scientifically established that rats and mice not only carry Bubonic Plague but also other infectious dis eases, like Smallpox, Scarlet Fever, Diphtheria, etc. So the best protection against all such dangers is to keep rats and It is such a convenient article to use, no mixing with other mice away from your house by using Newton's Rat Cheese.
See that you get the genuine NEWTON'S RAT CHEESE. substances is necessary.
