Consultation- i> U K T 1 K tt J* E WS. dBI,UOO 320 CASH PRIZES. TENTH GRAND HAMBURG DRAWING IS NOW OPEN. To a purchaser of 25 programmes one will be given gratia. 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 (about thirty) to contend against, some of whom under 'fictitious names have been mean enough to dc their utmost to try and injure the promoters of the Ham- ■ burg Company, they cannot do so, as this Company » too well established and fa vd ably known with the public all through New Zealand. j The large number of applications that came in too late will be registered in the tenth drawing ; or if the applicant wishes, the money will be returned. The tenth grand drawing for L 4,000 will close the end of August, and the eleventh Hamburg drawing will open on the Ist of September , The tenth grand drawing will consist of 320 money prises, amounting to L 4,000 subscribed by 8,000 members at 10s each. The various Money Prizes will he dis tributed as follows: —



1 £3OO prize; 1 £2OO prize; 1 £IOO prize; ■ 2 £6O prizes; 10 £3O prizes; 16 £26 prizes; 16 £2O prizes; 16 £l6 prizes ; 160 £lO prizes; 100 £5 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 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 £3 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 IDs. Read this.—ln Boaz’s Grand Ham burg Drawings the greatest odds are only 26 to 1 against an investor of 10s drawing a prize. Bat 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 anyhorse 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 10s. Rote.—Prize winners whether winning . large or small prizes are informed that I their names will not be made public with out their written consent. This tenth grand drawing tor £4,000 will take place under the super vision of a com mittee of eight subscribers, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.

Medical. N B WORD. Dkae Friends —Wo have so me hesita tion in addressing yon in the manner fol lowing, bat hope that it will not be looked at in any invidious light, when we state that it is only onr 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 mannfaotured 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, la 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 JEJaydook’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de mand Is because we find in Baydock’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. 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.
