From the undoubted popularity and great success these drawings have ob tained throughout New Zealand the pro moters are enabled to bring them before the public every two months. Although this Company has a large number of Horse Consultationists (abot thirty) to contend against, some.of wum under nctmous names have been meho enough to dc their nttroat toinjurethe anmotersof the Ham burg Company, thepronnot do so, as this Company is 100 wey establish ed and fa vo ably known withll espublioall through New Zealand. The large number of applications that came in too late will be registered in the ninth drawing ; or if the applicant wishes, the money will be returned. __ The ninth grand drawing for L 4,000 will close the end of June, and the te n th Hamburg drawing will open on the Ist of Jnly. This ninth grand drawing will consist of 320 money prizes, amounting to L 4,000 subscribed by 8,000 members at 10s each. The various Money Prizes will be dis tributed as follows : 1 £3OO prize; 1 £2OO prize; 1 £IOO prize; 2 £6O prizes; 10 £3O prizes; 15 £25 prizes; 16 £2O prizes; 16 £ls prizes ; 160 £lO prizes; 100 £6 prizes. Total amount, £4,000: 320 money prizes. To a purchaser of 26 programmes one will be given gratis. The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 26 pro grammes is guaranteed a prize, aad the shanoea are in favor of the investor draw ing a large prize, as there are 220 large prizes to 100 small ones. To any inves tor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 igainst him drawing a prize, and the read prize or any other may be drawn >y an investor of 10s. Read this.—ln Boas’s Grand Ham >nrg Drawings the greatest odds are >nly 26 to 1 against an investor of 10a Irawing a prize. Bat carefully note the mormons odds against investors drawing i horse or cash prize in any of the lone consultations. The marbles are eplsced for each drawing ot the iash prizes, which gives the enormous Kids against investors. This Company ronld simply ask investors to calculate he odds before placing their investments n any hone consultations; and this Com any would not presume to tell the public hat they have a number of chances and nay win a number of prizes for a single in 'estment of 10s.

Medical 0 N E WORD. Dear Friends —We have aoaie hesita tion in addressing yon in the manner fol lowing, but hope that it will not be looked at in any invidious light, when we state that it is only our regard for your health that causes Us to do it. We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have in the long course of this time manufactured certain Medicines that being based on scientific formula and absolute care and precision in manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far in advance of any other Pharmaceuti cal Preparations of the day. How suc cessful we have been in this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Haydock a New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydook's New Liver Pills. The reason of this de mand is because we find in Haydock’* New Liver Pills a wonderful and extras ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Science — Electric Telegraphs, Steam and. Printing —revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet ter. So, although there are countless Pills used for diseases and claiming much as to their merit, the remarkable dis covery of Dr Haydock has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, moat give way to the man who restores health and appetite with one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay dock’s New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach in perfect order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its func tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Province of Burmab, 8.1.
