FLY-KILLER
TO ALLAY PAIN In her endeavour to allay paiu suffered by her young son from the effects of mosquito bites, Mrs. Anna Jones, of Huntersfield, near Morpeth, Australia, sprayed fly-killer on the child’s back and stoma.ch. The child later became ill, and died suddenly. Describing the effect of the fly-killer at the Inquest, Dr. Hollywood, Government Medical Oflicer at West Maitland, said that the preparation was not meant to be applied locally, as it contained substances produced from a poisonous flower which acted as an irritant if applied to the skin. A verdict of death from septic pleuro-pneumonia and myocarditis, partly caused by the application of a preparation to relieve mosquito bites, was returned.
