Any insecticide that will do this is necessarily a poison equally dangerous to all animal 
or human life. One must avoid skin contact and breathing the fumes. For safety, spray 
plants in evening. Close the room and do not enter until next morning. Give the room 
complete change of air before remaining therein. Wear rubber gloves when dipping or 
spraying. Use tongs if dipping. When through, wash hands, gloves, etc., with warm 
water and soap. These precautions are given to make you completely safe when using 
any very poisonous insecticide and need not alarm you. Carelessness has no place in the 
use of poisonous sprays. Price, 4 0z., 85c on express orders. By mail add 25c for postage 
and packing. |
