Text on the reverse reads: ‘Instructions For Use. For the body louse, dust lightly the entire inner surface of the under-garment, giving special attention to the seams. The inner seams of the pants and shirt should be treated in a similar manner. Rub the treated area lightly by hand to spread the powder more evenly. Repeat applications at one or two week intervals, depending on the abundance of lice. For the control of pubic (crab) lice, apply to all regions of the body where coarse hair is present. On hairy individuals, crabs may be scattered over the entire body. Repeat twice at weekly intervals.’ It has been suggested that it was in use by troops during WWII.
