Mos4uifOs,

As mosquitoes are getting trouble some the following method of riddine a room of these pests may be of use Take piece of gum camphor, in size about the third of hens egg, and slowly evaporate it by holding it in shovel or tin vessel over a lamp, taking care that it does not ignite. The smoke will soon fill the room and expel the mosquitos, and it is said they will not return, even though the windows should be left open all night.
