[9476] Will you allow me space to answer the many inquiries as to my method of treating " Isle of Wight " disease with " Bacterol"?

By clearing each other and the floor- board the bees physic themselves, hence the cure in about ten days. I have had several cases, some very bad, but not one failure to cure. Outside crawlers I do not bother with. In the case of healthy stocks, as a pre- caution, I should treat exactly the same way after surplus has been removed, and if feeding up is necessary, medicate the syrup in the same proportion.
