Item description from seller

12mo; original cloth-backed pictorial boards; pp. (iv) + 90, incl. index; 22 black-and-white illustrations. Good condition. Discusses the disease-carrying propensities of the House Fly. "If a few score of venomous snakes accidentally escaped in a town, there would be a profound sensation, and a sense of insecurity of life would be ever present until they were destroyed. Yet the presence of five hundred cobras scattered throughout a city would be as nothing in comparison to the awful, the appalling danger and risks incurred by the presence of the common House Fly.".
