In order to control mites causing scabies, the following remedies 

 are recommended : The isolation of the diseased animals ; the 

 cleansing of the buildings ; the disinfection of the harness ; treating 

 the animals by washing them with green soap, or with a jelly consisting 

 of one part of naphthaline or creolin and 10 parts of light oil or vaseline. 

 As an effective remedy, especially in case of serious outbreaks, washing 

 the animals with a mixture of 2 lb. of lime and flowers of sulphur, 

 boiled in about 5| gallons of water till it turns of the colour of beer, 

 followed by a washing, five or six days later, with a weak alkali, is 

 recommended.

A number of methods of controlUng insect parasites of man are given. 

 For the purpose of disinfecting on a large scale, the use is suggested of 

 various compounds. Their composition is as follows: — (1) Liquid 

 of Malinin : 1,000 grms. of Persian insect-powder is extracted with 

 2,700 grms. of Eussian turpentine during five days ; the residue is 

 pressed out and extracted again with 2,700 grms. of kerosene, after 

 which both extracts are mixed and 250 grms. of pure carbolic acid 

 and 75 grms. of oil of cloves added. (2) The Odessa liquid : A 

 mixture of 100 grms. of xylol, 200 grms. of carboUc acid, 400 grms. 

 of glacial acetic acid and 3 litres of kerosene. (3) The liquid of 

 Gribinyuk : 200 grms. of carbohc acid, 500 grms. of napthalme, 

 280 grms. of sulphuric- ether, 3 litres of Eussian turpentine. (4) 

 Liquid destroying the insects and their eggs : 100 grms. of carbolic 

 acid, 100 grms. of naphthaline, 900 grms. of Eussian turpentine and 

 900 grms. of kerosene. As a protection against attacks of insects, 

 it is particularly recommended to soak the linen with a 10 per cent, 

 solution of white birch tar (resin) with 10 per cent, of soda. At the 

 end of the article the author reports that, after the conclusion of the 

 Eusso- Japanese war, the whole of the Japanese army was subjected 

 to wholesale disinfection before being dispatched home, and considers 

 that this example should be imitated. [See this Review, Ser. B, in, 

 pp. 105 & 124.]
