 selileil ilown to increasi- anil multiply (.is they do in I hi- 

 wint«'r months) an attempt shoulil bu matle to drive 

 thenj out and ilestroy them. The proprietors of

 interesting little booklet givitig letters from est.ite 

 agents, farmers, millowners, householders, shipowners, 

 and others who have voluntarily written in pr;iise of 

 the Virus as a ilestroyer of both rats and mice. The 

 householder who uses half-a-crowns worth ;ind the 

 est.ite agent who uses ten pounds" worth to spre.id over 

 hundreils of acres ;ire alike l.uulatory in their rejiorts. 

 The following is one of these letters (it comes from the 

 agent for a larg-e estate which was overrun with 

 r.its) : — •' June i.^lh, u)io. I received .1 letter from the 

 stewartl this morning in which he says—' I wish to let 

 you know the result of the \'irus. It is most marvellous. 

 I can scarcely see .1 rat, and all the money that was 

 laid out on strychnine was just lost, as I could never see 

 any result from it." " .Another letter says: — "I ;tm 

 pleased to inform you that the • Liverpool ' X'irus has 

 thoroughly eradicated every mouse in the place."' 

 I'resh supplies of " Liverpool " X'irus can always be had
