 and Marine Hospital Service. Hygienic Lab. Bui., No. 12. 1903. 



Of special interest to pharmacists. It should be borne in mind, however, that since

This treatise is also of special interest to pharmacists, as the microbe referred to is the 

 active ingredient of several patented rat and mouse exterminators sold under proprietary 

 names as Azoa (Parke, Davis & Co.), Rattite, Mouratus (Pasteur Co.), etc. These 

 exterminators are still under investigation, testing, etc., and the findings in the above 

 report should not be considered final or conclusive.
