 the cases of home prepared mixtures they will not touch them 

 at all. - ,

RAX SCIENTIFIC RATS AND 

 MICE DESTROYER 



Rax is a bacteriologi- 

 cal preparation, contain- 

 ing Pure Cultures of an 

 active Virus, which has 

 a deadly effect on Mice, 

 Rats and Field Mice, but 

 is harmless to all other 

 animals. 



Thus Rax is not a 

 poison and may be used 

 without the precaution 

 necessary in handling 

 other rat exterminators. 

 Rats and Mice having eaten the bait prepared with Rax 

 become gradually &ick and die within ten to fourteen days. 

 While infected they communicate the Virus to other rats and 

 mice coming in contact with them or their haunts. Thev 

 never die inside the building's, as they become very feverish 

 and seek the open to get fresh air and water. 



Rax has no equal as a destroyer of Rats and mtj.ee.
