<Journ. Comp. Med. and Vet. Arch., vol. 17. pp. 049-655. 
On page 655 Doctor Curtice gives the first reference we have found to the possibility 
of totally exterminating the cattle tick from the United States. " I look most eagerly 
for the cleansing of even a certain portion of the infected territory under the direct 
intention of man, for it opens the way to pushing the ticks back to the Spanish isles 
and Mexico, and liberating cattle from disease and pests and the farmer from untold 
money losses. Let your war cry be: Death to the ticks!"
