Campercraft or the Summer Camp 271
Most drug shops keep ready-made dopes under such
names as Citronella, Repellene, Lollakapop, etc.
LICE AND VERMIN
In certain crowded camps there is danger of head lice and
body vermin. I have heard washing in potato water
recommended as a sure cure. Potato water is the water
potatoes have been boiled in. Most drug shops ha,ve
tobacco ointment and blue ointment ; a very little of these
applied to the body where there is hair is a sure cure.
