THE RATSOF CHICAGO Five Rodent« to Every One of the City’« Population. 4*o) eoa wad Cata Are oí Little Avail to Kid the City «I «be H«|>- Idly Moltlpl>laa Hoden ta. When the Englishman who recently wrote a bird book called the sparrow the avian rat, doubtless hr had the great numbers of the birds in mind as well as their rodeut-like habit» of life. Yet, us a matter of fact, the sparrows, though in multitude they are like the leave* on the trees before the army worm* arrived, ure in reality fr.r less numerous in this lug city than are the great gray rats. There are in ( hicago probably about five rata for every man, woman and child within the city’s con fines. Rats are rrpulsive at best, and nearly everybody is afraid of them. Possibly not much cheer will l»e derived from this statement that there air living In and about the city’s houses, stores and waste places some 10,0(X),<)00 of these cruel toothed, sleek, sharp-eyed crea tures. The rat probably has more enemies than any other animal on earth. It» |Mkr»ecutors, animate and inanimate, come in the form of poison, traps, cat«, dogs, birds, ferrets and men. Some or all of these agents are at work con stantly, and yet the city rat thrives, waxes fat and raises a large family. It is usserted by authorities that ( hi cago has more rats in proportion to ita riae than uny other city on earth. The conditions here are peculiarly adapted to the preservation of the species. Under the wooden sidewalks, which are still to be found at places even in the heart of the city, the ruts haxe a haven of refuge. When driven from buildings by cats or by ferrets kept for the pur- |M»se, the Chicago rat makes straight for the nearest wooden pavement and under it digs a burrow. The rat is a true gamin sharp, cunning and, when necessity requires it, Ixdd. Boldness is the Chicago rat’s birthright, for in its veins flows \ iking blood, (hbngo's rat cHiue from Norway, ant? its first act was to kjl! drive out all the black rats whiCn xvvrV ijtdigenoUB to the Aim r ican soil. if anyone should wonder why it is that despite nil ita enemies the city rat manages to increase in numbers he may satisfy his curiosity and gam wisdom at the same time by taking a spade and digging out a rat hide at almost any time between Mmy h 1 and October 1 These months arc the family retiring times, and during this period three broods are sent out by « aeh old pair to begin their predatory existence. If Iht* man with the spade succeeds in reaching the end of the hoh* he will uncover a family of young rodents which never numbers less than ten and frequently exceeds If» members. Tak ing 12 nestlings us the average family , each good healthy pair of t In* whiskered gray ruts will present to the world each y ea r 3ft of their kind. Now on a Imais of ft,(MM) ,000 puira of rats it will be seen that each year there is added to the rat population of ( hicago something like 1X0,000,000 of young rodents. In the face of these figures it ceases to be a cause of surprise Hint poison and cats and other things cannot en tirely do away with the city’s rat pest. It is a matter of congratulation to the citizens of ( hicago that the cuts and other rat enemies do the work ns will ns they do, otherwise the rat iiriny would not content itself with a com missariat of bread, meat and cheese and scraps, but would turn, attack mid subsist on the ( hicago citixrn himself.

I fully made up my mind that I could not be cured, as I had used all kinds of medicine an : had tried many doctors. At last I was advised to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and I very reluctantly commenced their use last September. Before I had finished my first box I l>egan to feel much better, and by the time I had used six boxes the paralysis disappeared; and although two months have passed since I finished my last box, there has been no re currence of the disease."
