Rats—Mankind’S Greatest Foes

Thousands of pounds are spent annually all over the world to exterminate man’s most intelli gent parasitic enemy —rats. From the earliest times rats have been responsible for deadly plagues and pestilences and have caused damage equivalent to millions of pounds per annum. Many prepara tions—powders and liquids—have been marketed, claiming to be able to destroy efficiently all rodents. Most of these rat poisons, however, have proved ineffectual. Recently, a new liquid prepara tion, called “Murdirat,” has achieved considerable success. This solution is easily prepared, and, it is claimed, although harmless to human beings, birds, and domestic animals, is certain death for rats. Supplies of this new mixture may be ob tained from Mr. John Wyatt, 212 Clarence St., Sydney, who is sole distributing agent for “Murdi rat.”
