1. BED BUGS—To Destroy. 2
2. Naptha alone, or even gasoline, will destroy bed bugs utterly and quickly. Put on as No. 1, freely.
3. Bed Bug Poison. —Beat the whites of 4 fresh eggs well, and then put in 1 oz. of quicksilver; or in this proportion, for as much as needed, and apply with a brush, or feather, as most convenient—keep it out of the way of children, as it is very poisonous. Corrosive sublimate pulverized, 1/4 oz beat in, in the same way, will do the same thing. Or it can be used in liquid form, as in the next recipe.
4. Bed Bugs, to Get Rid of. —Spirits of turpentine, 1/2 pt.; corrosive sublimate, 1/4 oz. "When dissolved apply with brush or feather to every crevice. Go over every 2 weeks till all nits are hatched out and killed—2 or 3 times will do it every time. It is poisonous. These poisonous things are more certain to prevent a return than the others.
