V - American Lice Destroyer Kin* More Mite*, Lice and Other Vermin In a Day Than All Other licmcdlea Combined. The war is on! The days of lioe and vermin that have done so much to make the life of the poultryman miserable, ai.d 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-fottr 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 than 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 poultrymen; 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's behind the age. In that case send for $1.00 box at once. Made only by American Mfg. Co., Terre Haute, Ind. „ 8O1.ON. R. W. Overton went to Woodstock Tuesday. Harry Fay and Elsie Howe called on friends here Sunday.
