B Gs. —One of the greatest domestic nuisances, especially
in the spring and summer of the year, is the prevalence of
bugs.. Many means have been tried to prevent or extermi-
nate them,' but all hitherto ineffectually. Cleanliness may
check but cannot eradicate them. Mr. R. Greer, late one
of the Liverpool sanitary officials, after intense study and
deep research with many practical experiments, in the usual
pursuit of his official avocation, has at length discovered the
great desideratum," Greer's Patent Anti Bug Lotion," is
an unfailing exterminator of bugs, fleas, &c. It is clean,
simple' in application, agreeable in smell, and perfectly
innoxious save to insects. To be had at the Anti Vermin
Office, 49, Brownlow hill, Liverpool, in bottles at is, 2s,
and 4s each,—Advt.
