Extract

On February 8th, 1923, I received three examples of living larvae of Musca domestica, from Dr James A. Stephen (Head of the Child Welfare Department of the Public Health Service, Aberdeen) with a statement that they “came from the bowel of a child, 4 months old, breast-fed, but having sugar on a teat.”
