Mm HmmP m^Sßmmm J^L. 9 THE BEST AND SAFEST RABBIT POISON ON THE MARKET. fTYHERE is not the least doubt that this popu- ■- lar poison will do the work of extermination rapidly and efficiently if laid with care and judgment. Always lay Toxa in dry weather in sunny spots where there are colonies of rabbits. It will then do enormous execution. Five hundred and fifty have been killed with one tin, and tallies" of 200 to 300 have been frequently made with the same quantity. The Government Rabbit Department have used it, and recommended it to settlers as the boat patch poison on the market. No danger to stock when Toxa is laid in the paddocks. In Marlborough and Northern Districts millions of rabbits have been killed with Toxa. Sheep-farmers and Runholders, now is the time to \ise Toxa if you want to get the best results. Toxa is, sold in 21b tins. Sub-agents : d. O. TAYLOR. Chemist, Lawrence. NIMMO & BLAIR, Dunedin. Sole distributing agents for Qtaao : Messrs STRONACH BROS. fcg-MORRIS, Stock and Station Agents.
