lIEATING'S PERSIAN INSECT DESTROY-
ING PO iv DER for which a Prize Medal was awarded
to the Producer at the International Exhibition, 1862
This Powder is quite harmless to anima life, but' is un-
rivalled in destroying Fleas, Bugs, Flies, Cockroaches,
Beetles, Gnats, Mosquitos, broths 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 others 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 45. 6d. each, or post free for
14 or 36 postage stamps, by Thomas Keating, chemist, 79, St.

rest their claims upon the ground that Strattord is not only
the birthplace of Shakspeare, but the centre ot attraction to

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-
pcnied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude 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.
