REMEDIES for INSECTS and FUNGUS, CONTACT and STOMACHIC 
Insects that Suck the Juices from Plants, Foliage, etc., such as lice, green, black and white aphis or fly, mealy bug, red spider and scale, thrust their proboscis 
into the leaf or stem, and are not affected by stomach poisons; so they must be destroyed by contact insecticides. Those in powder form kill by closing the breathing 
pores in the insect’s skin; or in liquid form by being absorbed through their pores. The best contact insecticides in powder form are Bug Death, Hellebore, Slug 
Shot, and Tobacco Dust. The best in fluid form are Aphine, Black Leaf 40, Fish (Whale) Oil Soap, Kerosene Miscible Oil, and Lemon Oil.j 
Insects that Eat Plants, foliage, Vegetables, Fruits, Flowers, etc., whether bugs, beetles, worms, caterpillars or slugs, are more quickly and effectually destroyed 
with a poisonous stomachic insecticide such as Arsenate of Lead, Paris Green or Hellebore. These, if applied according to directions, are so diluted as to be harmless 
to vegetation and to animal life. Less poisonous stomachic and contact insecticides are Bug Death, Kerosene Miscible Oil, Slug Shot, etc.
