We hear about marigold, nasturtium and various herbs that can help keep bugs off the vegetables in the garden . . . but what about something to shoo insect pests from the gardener?

Stinging gnats-which bite about the face, eyes and behind the ears-really annoy me.Once, when the swelling from such a bite had nearly closed my right eye, I went to a doctor who wrote me a prescription ($4.00).I took the piece of paper to the drugstore and had it filled ($3.50).Then I swallowed the capsules and, in less than an hour, was staggering around like a drunkard.
