FLYOSAN
MOSQUITOES
The discomfort to mankind and animals caused by these little pests
is too well-known to require special mention. This specie of insects is nocturnal in its habits, that is to say, they are most active at night, and during the day-time they can be found hiding in dark corners, such as closets, etc. The larval live in fresh or brackish water, and develops into fillgrown mosquitoes with great rapidity.
It is now definitely known that in nature malaria is transmitted only by the bite of the Anopheles mosquito.
7
And despite the fact that we have assured measures of prevention, malaria counts its victims by the hundred of thousand annually.
The prevention of yellow fever rests entirely upon the fact that it is communicated from the bite of an infested mosquito-Stegomyia Calopus.
The yellow fever mosquito is a domestic insect. It breeds by preference
in any standing water about the household
Remedies against the multiplication of mosquitoes consist in draining their breeding pools and treating these pools with "FLYOSAN". A few sprays from the "FLYOSAN" sprayer in the bed-room before retiring will kill every mosquito present and prevent the appearance of others. If FLYOSAN is sprayed throughout the house during the daytime its fumes will penetrate every nook and corner, destroying the mosquitoes in their hiding places. If applied to the exposed parts of the body in small quantities, FLYOSAN will protect you from mosquito bites.
Hunters, woodsmen, campers, golfers, and in fact, all outdoor cuthusiasts will find "FLYOSAN" indispensable to their comfort.
Flyosan is obtainable at all leading Dispensaries.
