Remedy for Mosquito Bites.

To the Editor of TIE EVENING STAR
There are many persons who suffer intensely from
mosquito bites, the venom remaining sometimes
for several days and producing great pain. such
persons Will be Interested In learning that instant
and permanent relief will be obtained by the appli
cation OF high degree of heat. but not so much as
10 produce blister. The best way TO effect the
application Is to heat a silYe- spoon and Law the
convex part of the bowl the bite The heat
should be as great Is can be borne without actual
pain The writer has heretofore been rendered
miserable BY mosquitoes. but this season, having
resOrted TO the remedy accidentally rather. in
st1nctively. has never failed OF relief and now re-
CARDS the pest with Indifference. j. ID. Vi.
