Insects Bring Disease to Thousands!

THESE tiny pests are more dangerous to our health and well being than an invading army. Insects steal on us unawares carrying disease and death to everyone in the family including the in- fant in arms. The fly brings cholera, typhoid, tuberculosis, infantile paralysis; the mosquito all kinds of deadly fevers; the bedbug carries germs from one person to another,

Flit spray clears the house in a few

minutes of disease bearing flies, mos quitoes, bed bugs, cockroaches, dots, mothe, fleas and silverfish. It searches out the cracks where insects hide and breed, destroying their eggs. Flit spray kills moths and their larvae which cat holes. Extensive tests showed that Flit spray did not stain the most delicate. fabrics. Flit is clean and easy to use, death to insects but harmless to mankind. It is economy to use Flit and avoid disease. For sale everywhere.
