Dennis—Diva a bit! Icon d..'t ay in be' for bags
Archy— Why, then go to r he proposes
To clear our dwellinis of bugs, rats and mice ;
And if he does no', then he loses
All his lotion, and the lotion's price.
Dennis—Th3t's mighty purty ; bat who's Greer ? Share, I niver
heer'd o'him then.

Arehy—What ! Never heard of Mr• Robert G ee-, the Great Ant-
Vermin Professor! You do a•t'mish me. Why he's done more .0
promote the domes•'c comfort of the wo• king clashes than any ther
dozen men in Liverpool. lie will give you a lot on that ail kill eva y
bug, flea, and cockroach in your house.
Dennis —ls that thru • ?

Archy - Yes, 1 know it through experiencing the wo•,de-s of h
prep rations. You see, Dennis. our house we' swarming with b •gs
They covered the walls. bed posts and hid cio'hes, a thick s 'he
locusts covered the land of Egypt, and as for re t at night t was ti t
of the question, as it s• em- to be with you. • hey b t u-, blis ieed us,
and crept over our feces with their sickly st •n •h. until at lest ..e
resolved to leave the hot e altogether, a. we couid not ger rid o Cu.r
We 1, one day I was relating my is'r ee to itin Brennan, when he
says— "Why, Arehy Campbell, g to Greer.
And your house, of bugs, he II e ear "
So after a few Inquiries I toek down Ins addrese went to the Anti-
Vermin Office, e 9, strowniow-hill, and got a bettle Ore is Bile
Lotion, which. to my altonisheenr, ele red thehoese airreet instant y,
and I have not been troubled with them sine W 11. was so i else
with Mr. Greer's lotion that I an,erwards ca led np n him nd u fferee
him four times the velue of the Net e, u t is he refesed, rayi. g
only object was to remote the c =tort. of the woreinecla `1,4. Grate-
ful for his services, I never neglect sendiuc ell to hen teat I - now a e
plagued with these vermin.
Dennis—An' cockroaches; did he c'ear yoer house of Wei ?
Archy—He did. I really believe we hat mildo•is in the
house. They crept ovzr everything— the br' d, th meet, the u ter
fish. it fact anything eatetee, got io the sugar and a it, crept into
thejngs a, d eater wog*, and many an oust ha-e I sve I twee when
Rotting a drink in the dark. They even destroy, d tee linen. which at
first I could hardly believe, and so nunieroit• wee they that on eet

niaas. Drat the nasty things, I hate them. We 1, when I fin': I
bad got so easily and cheaply rid of one west, thin o I, Mr. Greer is '
the very man to apply to to destroy these wa-• dui things th
frighten Mrs. aimpbell end the childre i into lits. Often a penny we I
stunt is a eound saved, is an old sayidg, tad otlievmg it aypi.ed to
my case and the crekroaches—
Off I went to Brown'ow-hil,
Although t e ollled was not near,
To try again the won !rels skill,
And sound the i raise of itoet. Geer.
Well, he gave me a bottle that in two nights eleare the house of ev
the shadow ~f a cockle) .eh, and without them dying in the r ho ,e.
This Mr. Greer, I thought to myself is either a clev,r ellow or •
witch; but whether or not we ,•re overrun wit, rate and mice. tnat
eat and destroy many a pound'- worth io the yet., an I will see if his
skill can clear the house of rats and mice tu. By the way, ireenee
I should have said his preparati ns are not daneerous to etel• •en

Chemist, Dr. Maspratt. ss he:. I rot to iirewelow-hill the hop was

Well, he smiled when he saw me again, es if he ext,e.ted me ermine,
and after waiting a short time aid telling iny errand, he g •ve me

for me I cannot forget, nor pr lee too highly.
Dennis—Faith, I'll go to him at won'-t.
Archy—Do so. Dennis, and you wi 1 end hew much more eon o, t•
