The Toll of tlie 

 EAT. 



He invades our homes — penetrating into pantry 

 and store room ; bores holes in floors and doors : 

 makes nms in roofs and walls ; eats our (o<~)d ; 

 destroys our clothing. In all costs us £40,000,000 



a year for his keep. That is the toll the rat takes, 



Exterminate HIM. 



A thoroughly reliable way is the use of 

 ••LIVERPOOL'' VIRUS— a micro-organism 

 which causes an intestinal disease in the rodent, 

 death resulting in from seven to ten days. The 

 rats leave the affected area when stricken, and 

 thus spread the disease to other colonies farther 

 afield The occupiers of all buildings which are 

 rat infested are urged to set the Virus bait in the 

 haunts and rvms of the rat pests. 



It has been proved beyond doubt that the 

 Virus is harmless to humans, farm and domestic 

 animals, and thus can be used with perfect safety 

 anvwhere. 



Where to obtain '•Uverpoor" Virus,

 on bait readv for use in 2 6 and 6 - TINS; for 

 MICE in 1 6 TINS. In this form the Virus 

 involves no trouble in use. It can be obtained 

 without bait if required in 2 6 and 8 - TUBES
