Surface, Harrisburg, saying, “A friend has been un- fortunate in getting her house pol- luted with ‘gray backs.” She has destroyed a part of the bed clothing whitewashed some of the rooms and taken off some of the paper, and now has them banished, excepting that they are in the crevices. Every remedy known by them has been ap- plied, but the pests continue to show up. These people are clean house- keepers, and want information as to how to get rid of the pests that in- flict them.” To this appeal replied as follows: “There is nothing better for gray backs or other lice than the liberal mercurial ointment, which is by bichloride of mer- cury or corrosive sublimate in grease of any kind.
