CURIOUS STATISTICS —By request and for the sake of
curiosity, we have been furnished with the following
curious statistics, showing the operations of one of th
most novel and original sanitary departments extant—for
who evertheard of an Anti• Vermin Wice Such is now
established at 49, Brownlow hill, Liverpool,—an office,
having fore its ol jact that of furnishing Ethe public with
a newly discovered scientific and rational remedy for the
extinction of vermin of every description, without danger
t any of the higher order of animals ; and how
essential is the existence of such an office, particularly to a
town like Liverpool, where, in the lower lec dities, the
dwellings of the poorer classes are so densely and fearfully
overrun with the bed bug and flea that, in the spring and
summer seasons, their inmates are often obliged to choose
for their night's resting place the steps of their doors! In
poor families, at such times, they are like Pharoah's plague
of frogs—" In their bedchambers, and upon their beds,
and in their ovens, and in their kneading troughs."
Few houses, indeed, at any time, are free of
one or other kinds of vermin ; and as no nui-
sance to human beings can he more inconvenient or
trouble Some and none hitherto more difficult to remove,
the utility of such an office can only be appreciated by
those who, from necessity, have fairly tested its meri's.
An idea, however, of its utility and appreciation may be
somewhat formed from the 'following detailed account of
its operations dating the first six months of its infantile
period, ending December 31, 1856 ;—Dwelling bonitos
cleared of bugs per contract, 207 ;". of fleas, 89 ; of cock.
roaches, 104 ;' of crickets, 22 ;- of ants, 19 ; of rats and
naive 74. , Ships &eared of bugs, 19 ; of cockroaches
(blast India kind), 4 ; of rats, 42. Orders supplied at
counter, per post and parcel conveyance, to different
parts of the United Kingdom, America, and Australia, to
chemists, druggists, and others, for the destruction of
different kinds. of vermin, 32,453. Irrespective of this
number, there was, of poor, , supplied gratuitously (for
bugs 0013), 209. Number of bugs bought to experiment
on at counter to convince the public, to remove scep-
ticism, and to disprove the popular fallacy, that " there
was nothing to destroy begs," by giving occular
demonstration of their real antidote, 202, for which in many
instances wore paid as much as Id per ',cal, and in some
instances even more, in exchange for bottles of " Anti-
Bug Lotion," to encourage sellers. Public lectures
delivered on bogs, 4. Number of persons employed
exterminating - vermin, and manufacturing preparations
against vermin, 51. The above speak volumes in favour
of the energy and perseverance of the ingenious and enter-
prisita beproprietor, Mr. Greer, who, from finding the gre it
want which had prevailed among tbe poorer classes
(amongst whom his many years' avocation, as sanitary
official, under the able supervision of Mr. Fresh, had
naturally brought him in contact) for some' efficacious
remedy against vermin, combining safety,. simpli-
city of application, and cheapness, did not think it
beneath him to devote a share of his attention to tile
discovery of such a remedy, till at length, after much
research, and many experiments, he has now supplied the
great desideratum, by which he calculates ridding Liverpool,
at leest, of so great and formidable a nuisance of centuries ;
and in his calculation 'we wish him every commensurate
success. His having resigned his office under the health
a rmmittee, from the pressure of his own business, and to '
attend to it exclusively, will enable the public to receive
more largely the benefits of his services.
