COCKROACHES.—Of the cumeroAs insect tribe to which
the dwellings of mankiwl are
.subject, there are -none
more obnoxious than the common kitchen •eockroach.
where their roultiplieation is permitted ; the ravages they
commit are extensive and vexatious. They are all nocturnal
and exceedingly agile ; their eattened bodies allow them
to hide with ease in every crevioo, 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 eight
by the presence of light, hence they were, in ancient times,
appropriately called luei,,faya or light shunners. Their
destruction is riot 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, itis true,
would..enure us from such invasion from the cockroach, but
a gieat 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 Zr
alarmed. The, sapient Sancho Parza declares that there is 1
a remedy for everything but daath; and it is truly happy I
for mankind that the multiplication of this pestilent race
may he 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 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 cm.fidenc3 recommend. It is an origi-
ginat, scientific, and rational remedy, well worthy the notice
of the public, and by which the worst infested dwelling-
house'', ships, or other places, may be thoroughly cleared of
cockroaches in an incredibly short time. Mr. Greer, at the
Anti Vermin office, 49, Brownlow bill, in this town, is its (Tieinventor and patentee, whose prices for it range front
sixpence upward®, and whose contract terms for clearing
bowies by it are—" No cure, no pay."—,4eh'f.
