Although this Company has a large number of Horse Cbhsultationists (abot thirty) to contend against, some of warn under fictitious name's have been meho enough to dc their utmost to injure the anmoteraof the Ham burg Company, thenronnot do so, as this Company is too wey established and fa vo ably known withll espnblic all 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 w3l be returned. The ninth grand drawing for L 4,000 will close ■ the end of J nne, and the te n ih Hamburg drawing will open on the Ist of July.

To any inves tor of £2 the 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 10s. Bead this.—ln Boas’s Grand Ham burg -Drawings the greatest odds are only 25 to 1 against an investor of 10s drawing a prize. But carefully note the enormous odds against investors drawing a horse or > cash, prize in any of the horse . consultations. The marbles are replaced .for each drawing of 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 consultations; and this Com pany would not presume to tell the public that they hare a number of chances and may win a number of prizes lor a single in vestment of 10s.

Medical. 0 N E WORD. Deab Fbibnds —We have some hesita tion in addressing yon in the manner fol lowing, but hope that it will not he 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 r 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 23,089 Vials of Dr Haydock’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de. mand Is baoauso We find In Day dock' 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, must 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 iSew 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 Burmah, 8.1. Honored and Learned Physician—The unworthy one who dares to address yon and come before yon 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 is life to them and their children, and all the Drug Bazaars are empty and your Soul is hot in them. This humble petitioner, although he is lowly and not worthy to be in your high presence prays that you will graciously permit your Life gr <us (Pills) to come to Aykab.
