Bitten by Poisonous Insect.

Two or three weeks ago Mrs W. W..
Stewart, who lives two miles this
side Of Pine Grove, was bitten while
asleep by some insect, which caused
swelling SO pronounced that DR..
Endicott was called.
Mrs Stewart did Got know what was
the cause of the swelling, but the
doctor at once dignosed 1T as the
effect of bite. The back of the neck
was the point of attack, although the
swelling extended to other parts.
There was nothing serious about it,
and the swelling soon subsidized. A
couple of the biting bugs were
captured. aud forwarded by the
physician to the entomologlst of the
state university at Berkeley for in
speotion. An answer was returned to
the effect that the insects were com
monty known as "kissing bugs"
They are met with throughout the
state, and while the bite is painful,
there is little to give birth to alarm
as to the consequences.
