A NEW INSECTICIDE OF GREAT VALUE. 
The Most Convenient to Use, and 
The Surest of all Insect Killers. 
ft is with great pleasure that we offer this, the greatest 
of all compounds for destroying insects of every kind and 
description. It is a paste, a teaspoonful of which is dissolved 
in a pint of warm water (or a tablespoonful in.a quart or 
water). With this water the infested plants are sprayed, 
washed, syringed or sprinkled. It kills every insect with 
which it comes in contact, on the spot.; also, their eggs and 
larvae. Those which escape its touch die afterwards, by feed¬ 
ing upon the plant which has been syringed. Though so 
destructive to all insect life, it is non-poisonous and harm¬ 
less to vegetation when diluted as directed, it dissolves 
quickly and readily in cold water. It is a great discovery, 
and is absolutely sure death to every form of insect life at 
touch. Price, in seven-ounce cans, postpaid, 40c.; 3 cans, $1.00.
