To
get
rid
of
Moths.
i.
Procure
shavings
of
cedar
wood,
and
enclose
in
muslin
bags,
which
can
be
distributed
freely
among
the
clothes.
ii.
Procure
shavings
of
camphor
wood,
and
enclose
in
bags.
iii.
Sprinkle
pimento
(allspice)
berries
among
the
clothes.
iv.
Sprinkle
the
clothes
with
the
seeds
of
the
musk
plant.
v.
To
destroy
the
eggs--when
deposited
in
woollen
cloths,
&c.,
use
a
solution
of
acetate
of
potash
in
spirits
of
rosemary,
fifteen
grains
to
the
pint.
2476.
Bugs.
Spirits
of
naphtha
rubbed
with
a
small
painter's
brush
into
every
part
of
a
bedstead
is
a
certain
way
of
getting
rid
of
bugs.
The
mattress
and
binding
of
the
bed
should
be
examined,
and
the
same
process
attended
to,
as
they
generally
harbour
more
in
these
parts
than
in
the
bedstead.
Three
pennyworth
of
naphtha
is
sufficient
for
one
bed.
2477.
Bug
Poison.
Proof
spirit,
one
pint;
camphor,
two
ounces;
oil
of
turpentine,
four
ounces:
corrosive
sublimate,
one
ounce,
mix.
A
correspondent
says,
"I
have
been
for
a
long
time
troubled
with
bugs,
and
never
could
get
rid
of
them
by
any
clean
and
expeditious
method,
until
a
friend
told
me
to
suspend
a
small
bag
of
camphor
to
the
bed,
just
in
the
centre,
overhead.
I
did
so,
and
the
enemy
was
most
effectually
repulsed,
and
has
not
made
his
appearance
since--not
even
for
a
reconnaissance!"
This
is
a
simple
method
of
getting
rid
of
these
pests,
and
is
worth
a
trial
to
see
if
it
be
effectual
in
other
cases.
