sect penetrates the skin of man or animal, remaining 1 

 imbedded for from three to seven days. It contains 

 from 150 to 250 eggs. These are implanted and some- 

 times hatched in the pustule that is formed by the irri- 

 tation which the parasite sets up. 



Treatment. To prevent the access of this insect, the 

 body should be sponged with a solution of a table- 

 spoonful of DR. HEARD'S MANGE CURE in a gallon of wa- 

 ter about twice a week. When the parasite is already 

 in the skin and the pustule formed, it should be punc- 

 tured with a needle and dressed twice a day with Dr. 

 HEARD'S HEALING LOTION. This will prevent the devel- 

 opement of the eggs which are nearly always present 

 and may cause dangerous symptoms if not destroyed.
