Here's an advertizement, that I found in the newspaper, that you might get a chuckle out of. FOUND WHISKEY FATAL TO FLEAS FLEAS ON DOGS---I have found, says a correspondent, that the following recipe is most effectual in killing fleas on dogs, viz: to rub them all over with whiskey. It acts like magic, killing them instantly. If all are not polished off in one operation, one more will do the work.--Marietta Register, June 12, 1862. Marietta Ohio, Times, Thursday, April 7, 1938 Section 5; Pg. 10; Col.8 Extracted by Debbie (Noland) Nitsche April 2004 I thought this was funny. :o) LOL I wonder if it was Jim Beam or Vodka?? lol Debbie (Noland) Nitsche Diamonddeb@comcast.net WASHINGTON COUNTY, OHIO HISTORICAL & GENEALOGY "LINKS" http://hometown.aol.com/washcohistory/Intropage1.html
