COCKROACIIES.—Of the numerous insect tribe to which I
the dwellings of mankind are subject, there are none
more obnoxious than the common kitchen cockroach.
where their multiplication is permitted ; the ravages they
commit are extensive and vexatious. They are all nocturnal
and exceedimzly agile ; their flattened bodies allow them
to hide with ease in every crevice, whence they sally forth
in hordes during the night, to devour every sort of provision
which is not secured from their voracity. Like all other
depredators, they are thrown into confusion and put to flight
by the presence of light, hence they were, in ancient times,
appropriately called I,teifugcc or night slatnners. Their
destruction is not confined to articles of provision for the
table ; silk, woollen, and even cotton cloths are devoured
and rendered useless by being gnawed through. At some
seasons of the year, when the male cockroach fly about,
they are very troublesome, especially about twilight, when.
they dash into rooms, and often strike against the faces of
those present, to the great alarm of females, who generally
dread them excessively. The presence of light, it is true,
would secure us from such invasion from the cockroach, but
a great number of other nocturnal insects would be attracted
by its glare ; and under a greater degree of annoyance, when
a cockroach takes refuge or seeks concealment upon any
person, he will inflict a smart bite, if particularly hurt or
alarmed. The sapient Sancho Panza declares that there is
a remedy for everything but death ; and it is truly happy
for mankind that the multiplication of this pestilent race
may be repressed by its own voracity. And yet, all the
inventions hitherto brought out for the extermination of
this undeniable noxious pest have either proved so unsatis-
factory in their results, or so objectionable in their nature,
as soon to nave fallen into disuse ; indeed, it may with
truth be said that, notwithstanding the demand for such an
article has always been great, no usable or efficacious
remedy has ever hitherto been introduced. There is now,
however, we are happy to say, a remedy, and the only
remedy wecan with confidence recommend. It is an origi-
ginal, scientific, and rational remedy, well worthy the notice
of the public, and by which the worst infested dwelling-
houses, ships, or other places, may be thoroughly cleared of
cock.roaches. in an incredibly short time. Mr. Greer, at the
Anti Vermin office, 40, Br-ownlow hill, in this town, is its
sole inventor and patentee, whose prices for it range from
sixpence upwards, and whose contract terms roe clearing
houses by it are—" No cure, no pay."--ildve•
