KEATING'S PERSIAN INSECT DESTROY-
ING POWDER, for which a Prize Medal was awarded
to the Producer at the International Exhibition, 1862'
This Powder is quite harmless to animal life, but is un-
rivalled in destroying Fleas, Bugs, Flies, Cockroaches,
Beetles, Gnats, Mosquitos, moths in furs, and every other
species of Insect.
Sportsmen will find this an invaluable remedy for destroy-
ing Fleas in their Dogs, as also Ladies for their Pet Dogs.
Being the original importer of this now invaluable article,
which has found so great a sale that it has tempted other, to
vend a so-called article, the public are therefore cautioned to
observe that the packets of the Genuine Powder bear the
autogragh of THOMAS KEATING-
Sold in packets, is., 2s. 6d., and 4s. 6d. each, or post free for
14 or 36 postage stamps, by Thomas Keating, chemist, 79, St.
P- ul's-churchyar 1, London, E.C.

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road
in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rai/.
way Terminus, at King's-cross.
Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.

This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
man-nitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.

The Weekly Board feel it their Imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.

Contributions are received by the Treasurer, Edward
Mas erman, Esq.' Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Coutts and
Co. ; Drummond and Co. ; Herries and Co. ; Ransom and
CO. ; Prescott, Grote, and Co.; Smith, Payne, and Co. ; Giyn
and Co. ; Jones Loyd and Co. ; Barclay and Co. ; Denison
and Co. ; w lliams, Deacon, and Co. ; Overend, Gurney, and
Co. ; Nisbet and Co. ; Messrs. J. Barned and Co., Liverpool
and at the Hospital.
