Beware of Straw Itch.

Persons who use straw mattresses
run the risk of being attacked by the
straw itch, disease new to American
physicians. 1t is a peculiar itching
eruptive disease due to the attack of
a small straw and grain infesting mite.
Public attention has been called to the
subject by Joseph Goldberger, passed
assistant surgeon in the public health
service. Surgeon Goldberger says the
presence of the mite in the straw OF
grain is dependent on the occurrence in
