WAR TO THE DEATH PIJST̂ OF THE POULTRY XAKD WV T*' \-4Viii«iT nni ' ' American L,loe Deatrnyer KIHH Mare Mites, Ll«« and Oiher Vermin In a I>ay Than "All Other ReuiHlieA Combined. The war is on! The days of lice and vermin that have done so much to make the life of the poultryman miserable, and his business unprofitable are over. American Lice Destroyer, is the proper ammunition to use! This preparation is wonderful in its power, and vermin cannot exist twenty-four hours after it is applied to the coop or fowls. Every poultryman needs it It is cheap, re­ liable and effective, one package being sufficient to protect 250 fowls from mites and lice for one year. When this De­ stroyer is used, profits at once increase. Lice and vermin do more to kill profits tha>n all other causes combined. You know it. Don't go on losing money every week, but try American Lice De­ stroyer. You may have tried other things without success, but if this fails you can have your money back. We are in this fight to stay, and will back Destroyer against any number of mites or lice you may have. Don't fool away money with "recipies" or home-made makeshifts. Use scientific means. The American Lice Destroyer has been used by thousands of poultry men; it has been on market several years and has been tested thousands of times. We know it is all right, and if it doesn't do the work remember you get your money back. What more can you ask? If your drug­ gist don't sell American Lice Destroyer, he'8 behind the age. In that case send for $ 1.00 box at once. Made only by American Mfg. Co., Terre Haute, Ind. RICHMOND. John Meyers, of Genoa, was in town one day this week.
