“ Owing to the dangerous nature of the house fly and the general ignorance concerning its 
biology and habits. Dr Hewitt, some eight years ago, commenced to study the structure, develop¬ 
ment, and biology, also the relation of the house fly to the dissemination of disease. The 
results of his researches are now admirably given in this little volume, which should prove of 
great value, as it is now generally admitted, and the public are awakening to the fact that the 
common house fly is a dangerous little creature and a serious menace to the public health, and 
that steps should be immediately taken by all to keep down such a filthy and noxious pest. For 
this purpose full instructions will be found in this book .”—Field
