How to keep clear from Buggs

First take out of your Room all Silver and Gold Lace, then set the Chairs about the Room, shut up your Windows and Doors, tack a Blanket over each Window, and before the Chimney, and over the Doors of the Room, set open all Closets and Cupboard-doors, all your Drawers and Boxes, hang the rest of your Bedding on the Chair-backs, lay the Feather-bed on a Table, then set a large broad Earthen-pan in the Middle of the Room, and in that set a Chaffindish, that stands on Feet, full of Charcoal well lighted. If your Room is very bad, a Pound of rolled Brimstone; if only a few, half a Pound. Lay it on the Charcoal, and get out of the Room as quick as possibly you can, or it will take away your Breath. Shut your Door close, with the Blanket over it, and be sure to set it so as nothing can catch Fire. If you have any India Pepper, throw in with the Brimstone. You must take care to have the Door open whilst you lay in the Brimstone, that you may get out as soon as possible. Don’t open the Door under Six Hours, and then you must be very careful how you go in to open the Windows; therefore let the Doors Hand open an Hour before you open the Windows. Then Brush and fweep your Room very clean, and wash it well with boiling Lee, or boiling Water, with a little un-slacked Lime in it, and get a Pint of Spirits of Wine, a Pint of Spirit of Turpentine, and an Ounce of Camphire; shake all well together, and with a Bunch of Feathers wash your Bedstead very well, and sprinkle the rest over the Featherbed, and about the Wainscot and Room.
