This image appears to be a leaflet or card from the Health Department of Springfield, Massachusetts, providing instructions for treating the "itch."

On the left side, it gives directions: Before bed, wash the body with soap and hot water, apply the ointment thoroughly for 20 minutes over the entire skin, and avoid bathing for three days. It also states that all bed clothing and clothes worn next to the skin must be boiled.

The right side features what looks like a prescription to be filled at a drugstore. It lists the ingredients and their dosages: Sulphur (7.50), Beta Naphthol (7.50), and Lard q.s. (90). It includes the abbreviation "M. Sig." followed by "Apply as directed."

The Health Department's name and the city's name are printed on the right side.

Here's a description of the image based on the OCR:

The image is a scan of an old, yellowed document related to health. It's divided into two sections.

The left section describes a method of treatment for "The Itch" recommended by the Board of Health. The instructions involve washing with soap and hot water before bed, then applying an ointment thoroughly for 20 minutes, avoiding bathing for three days, and boiling any clothing worn next to the skin before reuse.

The right section is a prescription to be filled at a drug store. It lists the ingredients: Sulphur (7.50 units), Beta Naphthol (7.50 units), and Lard q.s. (90 units). The prescription is marked with an "R" symbol and instructions to "Apply as directed."

Along the right edge, printed vertically, it reads "HEALTH DEPARTMENT Springfield, Mass."
