It wilf be found that half a dram of powdered borax to four ounces of camphor water, or bengoinated oxide of zinc, either alone or combined with boric acid, can be vsed to advantage. | One is a lotion, the other an ointment. For ordinary stings of insects, am- 4monia water—half a teaspoonful to a cup of water—is as useful as any- |thing. Oil of citronellasis an excel- lent protection against the bites of mosquitos; equal parts of this oil and alcohol make a pleasing application and should be used freely on all ex- | posed parts of the body. The “bill” ‘ of a mosquito or an entire insect, like * the tick, sometimes remains embedded in the skin and may become the seat \of a festering sore. A large tick should never be foreibly removed, but will drop off when turpentine, ven- zine, or tobacco juice is applied, For smaller ticks pour any oll over the parts; this excludes the ait and the insect removes itself, It is possible to protect oneself to e very large extent against common pests, put the flea is not so weil known, whilé one species of fea 1s injected by this “type of insect is acid, and is neutralized with am- monia or bicarbonate of soda, . The pain and swelling is further relieved with ice cold applications of lead ‘water and jaudanum, or with stmple iced cloths; in the absence of anything else apply wet clay. Severe symptoms of poisoning may follow the bite of a centipede, apider, tarantula and the like, If the patient ig overcome, apply a tourniquet above the part to check the absorp- tion of the poison and @uck the wound, expectorating frequently. Under no circumstances swallow the poison and do not suck the wound unless you are very sure what caused the bite and that your own mouth is free from cuts, abraisons or open sores, Apply alcohol, 1 to 100, whiskey or tincturé of lodine to the wound and gradually loosen the tourniquet. To improvise a tourniquet at a moment's notice, tie a handkerchief, or strip of cloth of any kind loosely around the limb, insert a stick into the loose knot and twist it around and around until the circulation is stopped, Now the bacillus of anthrax (s sometimes conveyed to man through the medium of an insect.
