Consultation. NEWS. —s2o CASH PRIZES. TENre GRAND HAMBURG DRAWING IS NOW OPEN. To a purchaser of 26 programmes one will be given gratis. From the undoubted popularity and great success these drawings have ob tained, the promoters are enabled to bring them before the public every two months. Although this Company has a large number of Horse Consultationists (abbot thirty) to contend against, some of whom under fictitious names have been mean enongh to dc their utmost to | try and injure the promoters of the Ham burg Company, they cannot do so, as this Company is too well established and fa vorably known with the public all through New Zealand. The large number of applications thst came in too la*e will be registered in the tenth drawing ; or if the applicant wishes, the money wUI be returned. The tenth grand drawing for L 4,000 will close the end ofAuguat, and the eleventh Hamburg drawing will open on the Ist of September. k The tenth grand drawing wil| consist of 320 money prizes, amounting to 14,000 subscribed by 8,000 members at XOs 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; 16 £26 prises; 15 £2O prizes; 15 £l6 prizes ; 160 £lO prizes; 100 £5 prizes. Total amount, £4,000; 320 money prizes. To a purchaser of 26 programmes one will be given gratia. . . The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 26 pro grammes is guaranteed a prize, and the chances are in favor of the investor draw ing a large prize, as there are 220 large prizes to 100 small ones. To an inves tor of £2 tbs chances are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prize, and the head prize or any other may be drawn by an investor of 10a. j Read this. —ln Boas’s Grand Ham burg Drawings the greatest odds are only 26 to 1 against an investor of 10a drawing a prize. But carefully note the enormous odds against investors drawing a hoise or cash prize In any of the horse consultations. The marbles are replaced for each drawing ot the cash prizes, which gives the enormous odds against investors. This Company would simply ask investors to calculate the odds before placing their investments in any horse consul tattoos; and this Com pany would not presume to tell the public that they have a number of chances and may win a number of prizes for a single in vestment of 10s. Rote.—Prize winners whether winning large or small prizes are informed that their names will not be made public with out their written consent. This tenth grand drawing for £4,000 will take place under the supervision of a com mittee of eight subscribers, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.

Medical. Q N E WORD. Dear Friends —We have so/ne 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 baaed 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 Ylals of Dr Haydock’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de mand is because we find in Bay dock’s New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra 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. 00, 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, mnst give way to the man who restores health and appetite with one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or t»o of Dr Hay dock's New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach In perfect order creates an appetite, and tenors the spirit light and buoyant. If tk* 3 Liver is affected its func tions are -restored, and if the Nervous System enfeebled, it is invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Province of Burmab, 8.1. Honored and Learned Physician—The unworthy one who dares to address you and come before you humbly in the dust, begs for his people (caste) that you would deign to look upon their ignoble miseries and cure them with your Life-giving grains (Pills). Illustrious one your most potent medicine 1s life to them and their children, and all the Drug Bazaars are empty and your Soul is not in them. This humble petitionet, although he is lowly and not worthy to be in your high presence prays that you will graciously permit your Life gr 3 ns (Pills) to come to Aykab. To the mo* learned and wise Physician Haylock (Haydock) of high name. Native to the States of America, united in North America Country. Serviely signing for himself and twenty three others, the Petitioner places his sign, Tn&u Fanaibkbkeanoiel. Carmi, 111., April 2, 1884. Db J. Haydock : Dear Sir—l received your Pills a weak ago. I have tried them and must say that 1 never had so much good done by anything as they have me. I have suffered for years with billiousness and have been so sick at times as not to care to live, but your Pills have cured me. One aged man here has taken from me only two of your Pills, and 1 wish you could see him. He has had no appetite for five months, and to-day he ate a dinner such as api ughman eats. I had to check him, but h laughed and said he was treating his stomach to a new sensation, for it really was hungry. 1 hand you with this four dollars. Please send at once, a below, your Pills Mbs Sabah Manners, Canal, Illinois, XL S. , We would gue you if we were to go I on with them as we very well could do, but the above must suffice. Haydock's New Liver Pills are the true grains and essence of health, and the greatest bless ing that Science has given to the world. For Nervous Prostration, Weakness, General Lassitude, Want of Appetite and Sick Headache, Dr Haydock’s New Liver Pills will be found an Effectual Remedy. Each vial contains Twenty Pills. Price Twenty-five Cents. For sale by all Drug gists. Any sceptic can have a vial of Pills Sent him Free on receipt of his name and address, for a trial.
