Editor Advertiser: At this season of the year the mosquito seems to be very much in evidence and the peaceful slum bers of our citizens are very much dis turbed by this insect. A brief study of this insect may not he out of order at this time. There are three kinds of mosquitoes: the yellow fever mosquito, the house mosquito and the malarial mosquito. The life history of all three varieties arc very similar. The female mosquito deposits her eggs upon the surface of any still water, as many as fiv i.undred at a time. The eggs hatch out in two days and in a few weeks the young mosquitoes are full grown and ready for business. In a time like this, following the over flow of so many streams, it is well that we look to the health of our families and wage a continual war upon the mosquito. The malarial mosquito, es pecially the female, is very poisonous. The usual mode of infection of malaria! fever is through the bite of this insect, which acts as an intermediate host for the malarial poison. The two chief dangers that confront us in this section are typhoid fever from contaminated water and malarial fever from the bites of mosquitoes. Now as to the remedy: Boil all water which is to bo used for drinking purposes that is not pure. Al low no water to remain in cellars; carry off all mud and t rash and use lime freely. Carefully inspect your premises and see that there is no standing water. All tubs and tin cans should be emptied. Any stagnant water that cannot be emptied should have enough kerosene oil poured over it to cause a thin film of oil over the surface of the water, Kerosene is death to mosquitoes. Any one suffering with malarial fever should avoid being bitten by the use of nets as the poison in this way can be carried to healthy individuals. The oil of penny royal, citronella and alcohol will keep mosquitoes away. These may be hail at any drug store. ?I. L. PENNELL, M. D. Waterloo, S. C, Sept. 21, 1908. Ooud for Biliousness.
