Consultation. NK WS. £i,(JOO 320 CASH PRIZES. N T NTH 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 months. Although this Company has a large number of Horse Consultationista (abot thirty) to contend against, some of wum under fictitious names have been meho enough to do their utmost to injure the anmotersof the Ham burg Company, thenronnot du so, as this Company is woy establish ed and fa vo ably known withll espublic 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 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 £6O 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 gratis. The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser _ of 25 pro grammes is guaranteed a prize, aad the chances ate 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 against him drawing a prize, and the head prize or any other may be drawn by an investor of 10s. Head this.—ln Boaz’s Grand Ham burg Drawings the greatest odds are only 25 to 1 against an investor of 10s drawing a prize. Bat carefully note the enormous odds against investors drawing s horse or cash prize in any of the horse consultations. The marbles are replaced for each drawing ot the •ash prizes, which gives the enormous odds against investors. This Company would simply ask investors to calculate she odds before placing their investments in any horse consultations; and this Com pany wpuld not presume to tell the public jhat they have a number of chances and nay win a number of prizes for a single in vestment of 10s. Note.—Prize winners whether winning large or small prizes are informed that their names will not be made public with out their written consent. Thin ninth grand drawing for £4,000 will take place under the supeivision of a com mittee of eight subscribers, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.

Medical. N E W O B D. Dear Friends —We have so me hesita tion in addressing you 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 s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydock’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de mand Is because we find in Haydock’e 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. 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 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 Bnrmah, 8.1. Honored and Learned Physician—The unworthy one who dares to address yon 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 is life to them and their children, and all the Drug Bazaars are empty and your Soul is not in them. This humble petitioner, although he is gnoble and unworthy to be in your high {presence, prays that you will graciously permit your Life gr J ua (Pills) to come to Aykab. To the mo. learned and wise Physician Haylook (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, Dh J. Haydock : Dear Sir your Pills a week ago. I have tried them’ and must say that 1 never had so much good done by anything as they have me. 1 have suffered for years with killiousness and have been so sick at times as not to care f o live, but your Pills have cured me. One aged man here has taken from mo only two of your Pills, and I 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. 1 had to check him, but h ■ laughed and said he was treating his stomach to a new sensation, for it really was hungry. I band yon with this four dollars. Please send at once, a below, your Pills Tnail Fanaibbebeahoibl. Oarmi, 111., April 2, 1884.



Mbs Sabah Manneks, Oarmi, Illinois, U. S. We would gae you if we were to go on with them as we very well could do, but the above must suffice.

For Nervous Prostration, Weakness, General Lassitude, Want of Appetite and Sick Headache, Dr Haddock’s New Liver Fills will be found an Effectual Remedy. Each vial contains Twenty Pills.
