AD INFINITUM. 



(Dr. Dempwolff, of Berlin, announces that he 

 has found an aquatic insect which preys on the 

 anopheles mosquito. He is cultivating the crea- 

 ture artificially, with the expectation of destroy- 

 ing the mosquito and the host of germs which in- 

 habit its body.) 



They've found the bug 

 That eats the bug 

 That fights the bug 



That bites us ; 

 They've traced the germ 

 That kills the germ 

 That chews the germ 



That smites us. 



They know the bug 

 That knifes the bug 

 That stabs the bug 



That jabs us; 

 They've seen the germ 

 That hates the germ 

 That biffs the germ 



That nabs us. 



They've chained the bug 

 That bolts the bug 

 That jolts the bug 



That bings us ; 

 They've got the germ 

 That gulps the germ 

 That nips the germ 



That stings us. 



They hold the bug 

 That scolds the bug 

 That told the bug 



To pinch us ; 

 They chase the germ 

 That helps the germ 

 That cheers the germ 



To clinch us. 



They've struck the bug 



That slays the bug 



That flays the bug- 

 That sticks us ; 



They've jailed the germ 



That guides the germ 



That taught the germ 

 To fix us. 



But still these bugs — 

 Microbic thugs — 

 In spite of drugs 



Combat us ; 

 And still these germs — 

 Described in terms 

 Inspiring squirms — 

 Get at us ! 



— W. D. Nesbit, in Life.
