Consultation. gJ*yK X 1 A G NEW ». dBl,i)00 320 CASH PRIZES. NINTH GRAND HAMBURG DRAWING IS NOW OPEN.



To a purchaser of 25 programmes one will be given gratis. 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 mouths- Although this Company has a large number of Horse ConsnUationists (abot thirty) to contend against, some of wum under fictitious names have been meho enough to dc their utmost toil) jure the anmoters of the Ham burg Company, t.heoronnot do so, as this Company is too wey established and fa vo ably known withll espublic all through New Zealand. _ , The large number of applications that came in too lave 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 tenth Hamburg drawing will open on the Ist of July. 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 £SO prizes; 10 £3O prizes; 15 £25 prizes; 15 £2O prizes; 15 £l6 prizes ; 160 £lO prizes; 100 £6 prizes. Total amount, £4,000; 320 money prizes. To a purchaser of 25 programmes one will be given gratia. The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 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 any inves tor of £2 ths 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. Head this. —ln Boas’s Grand Ham burg Drawings the greatest odds are only 26 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 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 consultations; 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 10 s. _ *, Note.—Prize winners whether winning large or small prizes are informed that tbnir names will not be made public with out their written consent. This ninth grand drawing for £4,000 will toko 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. v N ones—Country cheques marked cor •eol by Bank, only payable to a number, isrd Is added for exchange. .

Lincoln, <• upland 1 16 Dear Friends— We havo so,no hesita tion in addressing you in the manner fal 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 ua 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 tha day. How suc cessful we have been in this, is only to .note the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Haydook a New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Hay dock’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de. mand is because we find in Haydook’ 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 remark ible 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 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 Burmah, 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 core them with your Life-giving grains (Pills). Illustrious one your most potent medicine is life to them and their children, and all the Drag Bazaars ore empty and your Soul is not in them. Thia humble petitioner, although he is lowly and not wqitby to be iu your high presence prays that yon will graciously permit your Life gr ( ns (Pilla)'to come to Aykab. To the mo. 4 learned aud wise Physician Haylock (Haydook) of high name. Natiye to the States of America, united in North America Country. Serviely signing for himself and twenty three others, the Petitioner places his sign, Jolm Tiscb, Medical, WORD.
