FOLEY'S AMERICAN Gain PENS.—Charles Willmer
wholesale and retail stationer, 19, South John.street
respectfully intimates to merchants, traders, and dealers,
that he has been appointed sole agent for the sale of Foley's
celebrated American Gold Pens, which are universally
acknowledged to be far superior to any other manufactured
either in America or this country, They are sold cheaper,
are made of the best gold, with superior points, and are
warranted to wear at least ten years. In America they
have been extensively used for that period, and are pre-
ferred to new ones. The prices range from five shillings to
a guinea each. Supplied wholesale by Charles Willmer,
19. South John-street, Liverpool.—Achrl.
COCKROACHES.—Of the numerous insect tribe t.) which
the dwellirgs of mankind are subject, there are none
more obnoxious than the common kitchen ceckroacb,
where their multiplication is permitted; the ravages they
commit are extensive and vexatious. They ire all nocturnal
and exceedingly agile ; their flattened bodies allow them
to hide with ease in et era' crevice, whence they sally forth
in hordes during the night, to devour every sort of provision
which is not secured trim their veracity. Like all other
depredators, they are thrown into confusion and put to flight'
by the presence of light, henco they were, in ancient times,
appropriately called lueifayee or light shtinners, Tteir
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 Patinaerei declares that th a remedy for everything but death ; and it is trul ha
p y
for mankind that the multiplication of this
esttilanitirptay phcee may be repressed by its own voracity. And
inventions hitherto brought out for the
exterminatione of
this undeniable noxious pest have either proved so unsatis-
factory in their results, or so objectionable in their nature,
as soon to have 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 we can-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
cockroaches in an incredibly short time. Mr. Greer, at the
Anti Vermin office, 49, Brownlow hill, in this town, is its
sole inventor and patentee, whose prices for it range from
sixpence upwards, and whose contract terms for clearing
houses by it are—." No cure, no pay.".--.eidvt.
