DRIVING RATS AWAY WITH
OUT POISON.
We know of throe methods. First,
the old French plan. Thisis followed
chiefly in Paris, by men who make it a
sp. ciul business. They take a deep
tub, with water on the.- bottom and a
little elevation in the middle like an is
land on which is only a place for just
one rat to ait on, This- trap is covered,
nud has a large balance valve oprniug
downward. * Oh' the middle cf this
valve a piece of fried' pork or cheese is
placed, and wjien the rate walk on to it
to get the cheese the valve goes down,,
drops the rat in to the water and meves-
back to rtb position. - A road is made
from the ratholodo- ttle top of the tub
by means of pieces of boards rubbed
with cheese; so as to make (he walk
more attractive to rats. In the coarse
of the night some ten, twenty or even
mere may go dbwn, and, if the island
was not there, ttley would be- found
most all afire in the morning, quietly
swimming around;bat the provision* of
the little island saves the trouble of
killing tfiem, because their egotistic in
stinct of psaservation causes them to
fight for the exclusive possession of the
island, bn which in the morning the
strongesyj^is found in solitary posses
sion, jMHe others being killed around
Secon o&rjlfe New Ysakplan invented
by one of the Friends. The floor neur
the rat-hole is covered with thin layer
of the most caustic potassa. When
the rats- walk on this it makes their
feet sore; these they lick with their
tounges, which mafias their mouth
sore, and the result is that they shun
the loi ality, not aloue, but Itppear to
tell all the rats io the neighborhood
about it, and eventually the house is en
tirely abandoned by them, notwith
ing the houses around are full of rats.'
- Third, the Dutch method. This is
said fca-Bawsed successfully in Holland.
"We have, however, never tried it. A
number «if rats are left to themsekes-
iu a very large trap or cage, with no
fcod whatever. Their craving hunger
will cause them to fight, and the weak
est will be eaten by the strongest. Af
ter a short time the -fight is renewed,
and the next weakest is the victim, and
so it goes ai* until one strong rat is
left. When this one has eaten the lust
remains of the other it is set loose.
The animal has now acquired such a
taste for rat flesh that he is the terror
of nil ratdom,going about seeking what
rat ha maj devour. In an ineredi table
short time the premises are abandoned
by all other rats, which will not come
back before the cannibal rat has died
or left

It is an established fact that^Quinine
or Cinchonidia will stop Chills, andjfor
this purpose there is nc better remedy.
But it is also an established fact that
they do not remove the cause that pro
duces the Childs. For if they did, tho
drills would not return on the 7tb, 14th,
21st or 2Sth day. Then is it not money
LOST to attempt to permanently cure
the Chills with Quinine or Cinchonidia,
when- they-do not remove the cause
from the system that produces them?
For until the cause is .removed, the
Chills will return. The
FERRINE
Is warranted to-remove every cause from
tlio system that produces the Chilis, and
if it fails to do this you will sustain no
loss, for every druggist is authorized to
gnarantoj a permanent cure in every
case, no matter of how long standing*
and will refund the money if the Chills
return after yon are through taking.—
Positively, no care, no pay. Try it and
be convinced. Itjaontaaaai no poison,
and is perfectly tasteless. Sold by all
druggists, and a permanent cure guar
anteed in all cases.
