R. BRAILSFORD’S PATENT WIRE VERMIN TRAPS.

Having for a number of years noticed the vast increase of running vermin, without any adequate means being taken to lessen the evil, has induced me to offer to the public my Patent Wire Vermin Traps, which are proved to be far superior to any other for the destruction of foumarts, weasels, stoats, rats, &c. Their advantage consists in being light and easily moved about, in being openly constructed, so that the vermin go in without the least fear of danger. They are easily set, and may be kept in use all the year round. They may be used amongst all kinds of game or poultry, without the possibility of their doing the least injury to them, which is not the case with steel traps; also causing less cruelty to the animals caught than any other trap yet invented. And where foxes are preserved they are invaluable.⁷ They have been used on various preserves for some time, where they have given entire satisfaction, causing great destruction of rats, stoats, &c. (testimonials of which will be given if required), and in some instances three, four, and five rats have been caught at once in a single trap. Cash price per dozen, 2l. 16s.; larger size for cats, &c., 6s. each; for otters or other large animals (either for home or abroad), price according to size and quality.— Address RICHARD BRAILSFORD, Knowsley, Prescot, Lancashire. R. B. has on hand his celebrated Ointment for mange in dogs, Worm Powders &c., which only require one trial to prove their efficacy. Also his Check Collars for breaking dogs, and which no sportsman ought to be without.
