REMEDIES FOR MOSQUITO BITES. 
As a mosquito bite exercises different ef- 
fects on different persons, so the matter of 
counter-irritants, or applications to allay the 
pain, is also somewhat individual. For 
most persons, the application of a drop of 
strong ammonia water directly to the bite 
will stop or materially lessen the pain. It 
is the remedy I use, and it has been used 
by many others with equal success. 
Eucalyptol has no effect in my case, but 
acts well with some persons. 
Menthol is effective with many persons, 
and gives some relief in nearly all cases. 
A drop of kerosene proves effective in 
some instances, but does not help me. 
A bit of raw onion rubbed over the bite 
is almost as good as the ammonia in my 
case, and with such others as have tried it; 
but it is not so conveniently carried or ap- 
plied. 
The best method where the poisoning is 
not really severe is to let the bite alone 
and pay no mental attention to it. The 
cleanest and most effective repellant, that 
is, a material which will keep off mosqui- 
toes, is oil of citronella. This is an extract 
from a grass, Andropogon nardus, primar- 
ily used in the manufacture of cheap grades 
of perfumery. The odor is not unpleasant 
to most persons, is lasting, and absolutely 
keeps off all kinds of mosquitoes.—Part of
