RECREATION. 



Spratts Paten 



Is of the greatest value to dog owners, as it is entirely 

 FREE FROM POISON, and at the same time most 

 effective in the destruction of lice and fleas. Moreover, it 

 keeps the skin free from scurf, prevents Mange and other 

 skin diseases. No other soap should ever be used in pre- 

 paring dogs for exhibition; it leaves the coat smooth and 

 glossy. 



Spratts Patent Dog Soap contains no carbolic acid or coal 

 tar, but is nicely perfumed and produces a fine lather. 

 Recommended by kennel owners throughout the world. Once 

 tried, always used. 



Price 20 cents per Tablet, by ma.il 



None but the best can be the -cheapest. 



Spratts Patent Antiseptic Soap 



is instant death to all parasites, lice, ticks, the mange para- 

 site, bacteria, etc. Price per Tablet, 50c.
